I was thrilled when he invited me and my wife to Thanksgiving dinner at his dad's down in San Pedro.
His dad had been a commercial fisherman and now mended the nets. For years, when he came home from fishing, he loved to "cook." Amazing!
The basil had been grown from cuttings brought over from Genoa and were from plants that had been in their family for centuries.
I've never tasted anything else like it.
That was a happy memory.
Thanks, Merle, wherever you are. That was a special experience for me.
Gene,
My wife hails from a San Pedro Italian family that has been there since roughly WWII. Her grandfather (passed on now) was very well known in the community; in fact, an annual memorial picnic is held in his name. Lots of Pedro families go way back, and the Italians especially have strong to the community and one another. I wonder if your friend's family knew my wife's family?
Probably. In a community like that with a large number of Italian families from the "old country," I'd think that everyone who lived there for a long time, would know everyone else.
here's no way for me to find out, since I haven't been in touch for many years.

My 7 months old anorexic looking Basil. Even the lady bugs have left.

I'd make a joke about chirping crickets, but I bet they've left, too.

Voodoo,
What do you feed those plants to keep them so healthy?

They get tea sometimes. No, I'm not joking, they get what is left in the teapot. Instead of throwing it down the sink any tea remaining is fed to the plants on the kitchen windowsill or in the conservatory. They seem to thrive on it, no milk or sugar though and I usually wait until it's cooled down a bit!

He's too young but he does have dreams.
