Whew - Fresh Herbed Potatoes

It has been a long time since I've been able to get into the kitchen. What a fool I was when I decided that working and school would not be that bad. Currently, I have four classes including two finance ones that are killing me!

Luckily, we're having a couple over this evening - who want us to watch their cat in May - so I was able to bust out my knife and cutting board to make Roasted new potatoes with spring herb pesto. (pg. 429) This was perfect because my herb garden is looking fabulous. I planted one last spring by dropping $100 at an online herb store. It has really grown and filled out. I've also got new basil that is behind, but will soon catch up. I can't wait for tomato basil soup!

The new potatoes are very small and I was glad to find such tiny potatoes. I also found a $2.97 wine which should be good to try. I picked the herbs fresh and processed them in my mini processor. I was surprised that the potatoes are not cooked with the herbs, but they are added later.
