Fellow pine nut pesto fan! If you put the pesto on pasta, it's really good if you add some whole roasted pine nuts on top as well. It adds a great crunch and flavor.
Also, you're not alone in trying to program a notes system. I've been cobbling things together in BASH and/or Python for a while trying to get it right. The struggle every time has been making sure things can be found again later. Tagging? Searching? Linking? How do I connect it all so it can be tracked down as needed, even in a sea of notes? I guess I'm saying that I'm with you on spending a lot of time on this.
Thanks. I have many more shrimps, but I haven't gotten around to scanning that sketchbook yet.
