I love days where I can work from home and make my own lunch. Today I was inspired by the bountiful basil plants, and a package of pine nuts from my parents, to make basil pesto. Of course, having the Vitamix also did not hurt. The cucumbers are fresh,  my mom actually sent them via USPS (her garden must be huge this year!). The are heavy, and full of water. And Texas makes delicious watermelons – so juicy and sweet!
