I attached some vinyl letters and shapes to a vintage milk glass platter to create a 'dry erase' board. This would also work to make a daily to do list.

4 cups tomatoes peeled and chopped
4 cups tomato juice
12 to 14 fresh basil leaves
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup butter
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Cool slightly, place in blender or food processor with basil leaves and purée in batches.

Garnish with basil leaves, if desired.
