Pesto

Since taking my site down at Igroops, I have been considering my options on how to proceed with moving to another platform to get all the main features of igroops but at a lower cost. That is what killed me at Igroops.

In the meantime I am posting as much of that content here, as I can.

Here is my latest video showing my version of pesto.

Sorry it is a little Dark, I tried using ambient light without any supplemental lights. While it looked good on the playback it did
not convert well into streaming format.

But it is viewable and the pesto tastes great.

Enjoy
