Jim Horn: Rock N' Roll Recipes

     In the early 80's John leased a larqe plane for us to tour
the U.S. in. We had our own seats,and John made sure there was
always something wonderful to eat on board.
     We stayed in Seattle for a couple of days,and on our day off
I walked down to Pike Street Market where they have everything
from fish to home made pasta. All of the produce and herbs were fresh,so I bought some basil,pine nuts,parmesan cheese,olive
oil, garlic and some home made pasta. I remembered how to make pesto and brought back all the fresh ingredients I needed.
   At that time John had his own cook(Ron Lamier)on tour with him
and I called and asked if I could use his blender.Ron had his
kitchen in a road case with everything you could possibly cook with.
I whipped up the pesto and cooked the pasta and invited whoever
was around to join us in John's suite for some pesto. John was taking a nap in the other room, so we quietly enjoyed the feast.

Later, after we left,John woke from his nap and wandered into
the room where we had eaten. He saw the food on the table,had a
taste,and turned to Ron and asked,did you make this pesto? Ron said
no, Jim Horn made it. John said wow, we need to figure out how to make
this. That was one of John's favorite things to eat from then on.
