Cooking instruction summary:

Combine the sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan cheese, basil and garlic in a food processor or a powerful blender. Pulse a few times to bring the ingredients together. Slowly add the olive oil and continue to pulse and scrape down the sides of the jar as necessary until the pesto reaches a consistency that is between a paste and a liquid sauce. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste. Cassie's Notes:The sun-dried tomatoes I used needed to be reconstituted in hot water before use. I poured boiling water over them and let them soak for 30 minutes and then used them immediately in this recipe. If yours are packed in oil, they won't need to be reconstituted, just drain the oil from them before using, and feel free to use the oil for the recipe.I saved the water used to reconstitute the tomatoes for a pasta dish I'll share later.

Food Joke

Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife. Tearfully she explained, "It's the druggist. He insulted me terribly this morning on the phone." Immediately the husband drove downtown to confront the druggist and demand an apology. Before he could say more than a few words, the druggist told him, "Now, just a minute, please listen to my side of it... This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went without breakfast and hurried out to the car, just to realize that I locked the house with both house and car keys inside. I had to break a window to get my keys. Then, driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket. Later, about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire. When I got to the store there was a bunch of people waiting for me to open up. I opened and started waiting on these people, and all the time the darn phone was ringing off the hook." He continued, "Then I had to break a roll of nickels against the cash register drawer to make change, and they spilled all over the floor. I got down on my hands and knees to pick up the nickels; the phone was still ringing. When I came up I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase with bunch of perfume bottles on it...all of them hit the floor and broke. Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally got to answer it. It was your wife. She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer...and, honest mister, all I did was tell her!"
