2 1/2 cups loosely packed arugula leaves
1/2 cup smoked almonds
olive oil
Everything goes into a mini-prep and is blended. I like to pulse the machine so that the mixture does not turn to mush.

We kicked off the weekend with a drink and a face full of this delicious pesto served with danish-blue cheese on toast. I think it would also make a great sandwich on thick-sliced bread with some heirloom tomatoes and blue cheese or tossed with a favorite pasta.
After this, we headed downtown to the recently-reopened Five Spot for dinner. Murphy serves up a delicious vegan pasta primavera for $12 and the house dressing is a lemon-ginger concoction that is not to be missed. There is also plenty of other great stuff for any of your meat-eating companions, so drop by there soon.

Oooh, I love smoked almonds! I bet this is the shit...the good shit, of course.
And a) I didn't realize the Five Spot was open again, and b) who knew that they had vegan food? Is it still next to Earnestine and Hazel's? I should totally pop in there for lunch...
BTW, Bastet's new vegan place (Deja Vu) is supposed to open for lunch today! I'm not going today, but I plan on making a lunch of it later this week. I'll keep ya'll posted.
