Too Much Basil

September 25, 2025/ Marcie
 Too Much Basil

Mary makes a mean caprese salad, and I always add fresh basil to our pasta sauces, and basil leaves are beautiful as a garnish, but you can only use so much. Basil seems to be the zucchini of herbs. What to do with the excess?

 Summer Gardening in the Desert

In our topsy-turvy Las Vegas growing seasons, we planted our spring/summer crops in February and March, and the plants have mostly been thriving even with the triple-digit heat we’ve been experiencing.

Just a Little Further

Hi there and welcome to Just A Little Further!

We are David and Marcie Lynn and we've lived aboard our Liberty 458 cutter-rigged sailboat since 2000.

What began as an urge to travel slowly and economically at our own pace ended up an adventure of a lifetime.  

Well, here we are ... nearly 90,000 miles under the keel, 5 continents, 5 Great Southern Capes, 36 countries and almost two decades later, still taking one passage at a time and going just a little further.
