OMG PESTO ALERT!
From the Chicago Tribune story:
UDPATE: SHT the blink tag.
"ROME -- Lovers of pesto, the tangy, green pasta sauce, are bracing for increased prices or even shortages after unseasonable hailstorms in northern Italy destroyed much of the most prized variety of basil, the key ingredient in the Genoese specialty.
Hailstones the size of tennis balls smashed glass panes on scores of greenhouses and pummeled fragile basil plants this month, wiping out entire crops near the town of Pra, west of Genoa, the capital of the Liguria region in northwest Italy."
Predicate, how will YOU cope?

Oh....
...you're just jealous you didn't think of it first.
Even I have lines I won't
Even I have lines I won't cross!
Substitute
I will cry, gently rocking back and forth hugging my knees, then recover and do my best to get by with flat parsley and various other herbs.
Oh, and I've seen arugula pesto recipes that sound intriguing.
Guess I'll just have to keep
Guess I'll just have to keep making my pesto with American Basil and pistachios.
But daddy I don't wanna wear the wolf suit, I wanna be the cow this time.
Pesto is evil.
for me at least...I have only one allergy, my own personal kryptonite, and it happens to be pinenuts. So I refuse to shed any tears because of this development.
Death to Pesto!
I'm going to sit on the back
I'm going to sit on the back stoop with my rifle to protect my personal stash of basil. Seriously, I've got craploads. Also, you can make pesto with toasted walnuts. It's different, but still good.
