Albahaca: Gift From The Streets of Baires


Albahaca (Basil) is by far my favorite herb and they love it here in Baires too. With the Italian influence in cuisine, the herb is incorporated in many dishes and has a superior flavor to the basil of the states. The other day my roommate and I acquired this basil plant by chance. It was sitting on the street waiting for a home. We debated if it was for the taking, should we take the plant and leave pesos in its place? But after 10 minutes we realized the basil plant was a gift from somebody and it now lives on our balcony.
