DIY Disaster

So I just tried to make pesto.  I bought fresh basil, olive oil, and...sunflower seeds? (Ok, the pine nuts were really expensive and we are on a budget).  Perhaps the seeds were a bad choice, or perhaps my blender just can't hack it anymore, needless to say it did not turn out.  I managed to chip one of my best knives by trying to stuff down the basil leaves that weren't catching the blades of the blender, while it was blending.  Before you say anything, I realized it was not a good decision when one of the blender blades caught the knife and whipped my hand back.  No fingers were harmed though I can't vouch for the blender or knife, I think the blender won this round.  Anyhow, visions of metal knife chips in the batch of unprocessed pesto caused me to throw the whole batch down the loo,  and reassure my husband that no one is suffering the effects of a nuclear attack, its just pesto.

So. Dinner.  Tonight will be spicy pancetta bruschetta.  I will update with picture if everything turns out.
