In beloved Brian’s words: “Can you put this on a burger?” “I’d eat that on a cracker!” It’s Burgundy Basil Butter ~ a smorgasbord of veggies, herbs, and downright deliciousness.

I’m on a ch..chi..chia kick these days! The morning sliminess seems to be satisfying some sort of need, particularly when coupled with the hearty deliciousness of farm fresh eggs.
