Italian Recipes: All About Pesto
In the old days in Italy, when the basil was ready for harvest, pesto was made with a mortar and pestle and if so inclined one can still make it that way. I bet it tastes even better, but I must confess I never tried it. I do know for a fact that mayonnaise began in Corsica and it was the job of the father, not the mother, to make the week's batch every Sunday. Something tells me that pesto may be 'a man's job' as well (next time I talk to my friend Francesco I'll ask). I'm also curious as to how it was kept in the old days because clearly pesto is one way of getting the hard months of no fresh basil. These days you merely fill ice cube trays with the ambrosia and it freezes wonderfully.
The basic ingredients for pesto are basil, olive oil, parmesan or other hard grated Italian cheese like romano, and nuts. "What?" Some may exclaim, "you are no authority on Italian cooking at all!" But I'm here to testify that as surely as Mt. Vesuvius did not blow it's top over the way Pompeians were watering down the wine, I am committing no offense to good and sensible, down to earth Italian cooking. No, you don't have to use pine nuts, and yes, a variety of hard cheeses are acceptable.
In fact, every time I make pesto (with a blender!), which, appropriately enough is once a year when my basil bushes have finally had enough of the cold, I like to try a new nut. Actually, I find pine nuts to be a bit overwhelming (ditto for chocolate mole) and my favorite choice so far has been walnuts, which adds a nice earthy touch fit for the colder months. Cashews proved to be interesting but intolerable when eaten with gusto, and almonds are nice. Next on my try list is macadamia nuts, over which I'm being careful not to predict anything.
Finally, though pesto is best known as being eaten with pasta, the next time you make minestrone top each bowl off with a spoonful of pesto. After that your minestrone will be lonely without it.

why my parakeet bangs on its cage door & why it throws its food all over?
I have 2 parakeets, but 1 constantly is lifting an dropping the cage door, which makes a banging sound that drives me nuts. Then it will get into the food tray and flutter its wings which makes the seed go everywhere. This has just started this week, but it's any everyday issue. The seed is being wasted and I am not working right now to be able to afford to keep filling the tray. I have had them for almost 7 years now and have never seen this happen.
He's probably bored and is creating new toys for himself. see if you can get him a new toy to keep him distracted. Bird toys are also easy to make if you can't afford it. You could braid some grass or tie up some eye catching trinkets together like a mini mobile.
Also with the food. Birds often will rummage through thier seed to get thier favorite tasty treats. Also never assume that because there is still food in the bowl that the bird has enough to eat. It is always possible that he ate most of the nutritious seeds and the less nutritious and cheaper filler pellets are all thats left. If you know you replace his food regulary enough to not cause a nutrition problem then I would suggest to buy some millet and set it apart from the food so he can get directly at it instead of throwing all the seeds around looking for it.
