Making Pesto with "Friends"

For the past 3 years through the Master Gardener project at Second Presbyterian Church in Bloomington called "Friends First", I take my mini Cuisinart and plenty of basil from the garden to  make pesto.  This group of approximately 20 persons who are  multi-disabled enthusiastically pick off enough basil leaves to fill a plastic cup and then they line up and push the grind button as a trickle of olive oil and some nuts are added.  Green slime is the result.

Master Gardner colleagues help.  Some Friends have aids and their assistance is always appreciated. With a tablespoon or so of Parmesan  cheese, the culinary creation is ready for cracker and carrot dipping.
