left-overs.
With plenty of pesto left, as well as the fresh mint and roasted almonds for the making of the pesto, I had to figure out the best way to use them up. And so here are what I came up with…
Spaghetti with basil-mint-almond pesto.
Chilled cous cous salad: cous cous, fresh mint, roasted almonds, flax seeds, pickled onions, olive oil, and white balsamic-apple vinegar mixed with plum liquor (this results in a taste of more like a sweet plum vinegar).
Now I’ve got to figure out what to do with the left over vinegar and liquor.

Thanks for the food porn...as I'm on my way to bed! Sure gets my stomach growling!
You're good! Looks like you will never starve with that kind of food creations...Bravo!!!!
Wow - you made THAT out of LEFTOVERS? whoa. Very impressed. Looks really nice.
Yummy - being creative with leftovers is a great. Well you can drink the Liquor and the vinegar - a teaspoon in a glass of water - is a natural cleaning of the kidneys.
The roasted almonds in the couscous sound yum.
What time should I be over?
You can cook! This is very creative with leftovers - I'm always impressed when people can make a good meal out of leftovers.
@CurryPuffy - lol... sorry, didn't mean to make you hungry
@The_Eyes_Of_A_Painter - thnx
i rarely cook so i tend to get overexcited in the kitchen when i'm in my creative juice again. i'm quite happy with the way they turned out. though i'm they could be better.
@stepaside_loser - not sure about the look but they tasted nice. even days after
@Fatcat723 - i know. but was thinking of something a bit more creative. i could always mix the liquor with soda to make cocktails but the problem is i haven't had any good reason to party. n as for the sweet apple vinegar, it actually tastes good on its own but i rather use it to flavor salads instead. i know, i know. i can't think simple.
@brooklyn2028 - could use some dried cranberries, though. it would've been better. but was too lazy to shop for it. i just need to make do with what's available in the kitchen.
@CareyGLY - eerr... how about now? :)
@ElusiveWords - the problem is, i rarely cook. n so when i do, i tend to over do things. n so i ended up making a big batch that would lasts for days. it's hard to cook for one.
Ah! No! You made me HUNGRY!! >.<
Those both sound fantastic!
@TheNameILove - glad i did :p
@christao408 - thanks chris.
