There are those times in life in which a name doesn't necessarily meet reality, when a book defies its cover, if you will. And in the world of cocktails, this is no exception. A Boxcar tastes nothing like an actual boxcar. A Cape Cod? Tastes nothing like a beach. And in our case, the Inner Harbor's Sullivan's Steakhouse has a cocktail whose name and ingredients might throw you for a loop: the Thai Basil Fizz. The Thai Basil Fizz, though it sounds rather robust from its ingredients list including black pepper, Thai basil and prosecco, is almost like a fizzy whiskey sour - sans whiskey of course, with Tito's Vodka in its place.

Viola Brown from La Pointe, Ind., was looking for a good and easy recipe for making tomato basil soup. She said she is 82 years old and has a hard time finding things she still likes to eat. It's not surprising that she would be in search of a recipe for homemade tomato soup, as it's a classic comfort food no matter what the season. Jenny Garcia from Santa Rosa, Calif., shared a recipe that she and her husband came up with that she said was inspired by a similar recipe in the Barefoot Contessa Cookbook.

All my new basil plants have dead patches on the leaves. Can I treat this? If the patches are tan, it may be damage from the cold weather. Basil likes it hot. It should recover and put out healthy new growth when temperatures rise. If the patches are dark brown or blackish, it's probably a fungus. There are no fungal sprays that would be appropriate for fungal disease on basil because it is a food plant. Consider replanting. My neighbor has a new lawn, and it is a lot greener than mine.

Karen Hertwig of Baltimore was trying to locate a recipe for a creamy basil salad dressing like the one that was served at the original Perry Inn in Perry Hall. She said the restaurant changed hands, and the new owners no longer serve it. She said the dressing was served warm over a tossed salad topped with grilled chicken or steak. This one sounded like something worth pursuing, particularly given how robust my basil crop is this summer. I found what sounded like a great low-fat recipe for a creamy basil garlic salad dressing on the recipe blog writes4food.com by Bryn Mooth of Cincinnati.

A 24-year-old man admitted to killing two men over a span of about 48 hours in downtown Baltimore last year, crimes that came a few days after he and his brother are alleged to have committed a rash of robberies across the city on a Sunday morning. Isaac Truss pleaded guilty Monday in Baltimore Circuit Court to the shooting deaths of 47-year-old Keith Cooper, found fatally shot in a high-rise building near the Inner Harbor on April 20, 2011, and Edward Jones, a 50-year-old man who was shot during an attempted robbery as he sat on a bench in the 200 block of W. Fayette St. According to the state's attorney's office, Truss pleaded guilty to both killings and is expected to receive a sentence of life in prison with all but 50 years suspended.

I was invited to visit a homeowner's lawn that was emerald green except for large patches of dead grass caused by misuse of a herbicide. The homeowner took full responsibility for causing what happened to the lawn, but I couldn't resist suggesting that the damage may also have been done by a "basilisk. " "What's a basilisk?" he asked. A basilisk, I explained, is a foot-long, slithering, serpent-like creature that ancient Romans believed could kill a person with a single bite.

I was trolling the grocery store last weekend looking for pesto. The kind that sits in a jar on the shelf kind of creeps me out and the fresh options were either nonexistent or too expensive. So, I thought, why not make it myself? Turns out it’s easy to make and takes no time at all! The flavor is also much fresher than what you can find on the shelf. Pesto Recipe 4 C fresh organic basil, packed 1/2 C extra virgin olive oil 1/3 C pine nuts 1/2 C freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano 6-7 cloves garlic 1/2 tsp sea salt   1. Rinse the basil well, pull off any large stems, and dry well.

This spring, if you compare your food and drink menus, you might see a few striking similarities. Move over, mint. As the weather gets warmer, basil, dill, thyme and lavender — herbs once relegated to the kitchen — are popping up in mixed drinks at Baltimore bars and restaurants. Bartenders are taking chances by muddling basil and strawberries in a spiked lemonade, tossing dried thyme into martinis made with tomato-infused vodka and swapping the lime in gin and tonics for cucumber and dill.
