While I hit the gym (and got my butt kicked in Body Defined class), Tim went to Stop & Shop in Brookline and found a dollar treasure for me — a still-soft baguette in the “yesterday’s bread” section. It was a nice, big baguette, too — not like some of the half-size loaves they typically sell for well over a dollar. The $1 baguette became the base for our dinner of red pepper pesto crostini. I made pesto yesterday, so tonight I added half a chopped red pepper and gave it another whirl in the food processor. Meanwhile, Tim toasted the oiled bread slices and melted some mozzarella on top. The revamped pesto made a lovely spread. The meal’s ingredients may have been a day old, but it sure tasted fresh!
