So this is what you get for the going to the grocery store hungry:
a homemade pizza with fresh basil.
We went to Price Rite grocery on Elmwood hungry, happened to see a whole wheat pizza dough in a bag in the refrigerated section and a light bulb went off.

We used a bruschetta sauce with chunky bits of tomato and a mix of three cheeses to make the pizza.

Fresh basil leaves from my porch herb garden were layered under the cheese.
Next time improvement: I will put the basil on top of the cheese, as they do at
Romeo & Juliet's Cafe. It is more visually appealing.
I grew herbs and lettuce in cardboard boxes lined with plastic bags on my patio this summer as I saw the idea in
Birds and Blooms magazine. The cardboard boxes are inexpensive and eco-friendly containers. They have worked well, and though I could have decorated the boxes I didn't and the herbs are just as happy.
