Last year my Christmas present from B.J. and Erin was an ultra-cool aero garden.  Quite frankly I was intimidated to begin the process and set it all up, but three weeks ago I bit the bullet and decided to dive right in and GROW. (FYI: it is super easy to set up and I never should have delayed the process.)  And look at the results!

I was itching to test out my fresh greens, so for breakfast yesterday I whipped up some scrambled eggs with frozen peppers (a prized purchase from labor day weekend visiting with mom), some mozzarella cheese, and ground pepper.  I carefully clipped two leaves worth of the Italian Basil and Purple Basil and tore the leaves over the meal.  Here is the result.

It looked good enough, but now the creation needed to be tested and tried.

Success!

Thanks a million to Erin and Bill for the amazing gift finally put to use!
