Supplies include Sangria-makings and pesto makings.  There was a sweet looking recipe in Cooks Illustrated for pesto-pasta salad which sounded pretty kick-butt.<\/p>\n<p>Planning to go climbing with Dustin tomorrow morning at 10am.  That&#8217;ll get me home in time to prepare for the onslaught.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Composting is a good use of a weekend day.
