It's Ready~!

His homemade Prosciutto~
It's absolutely wonderful~
So good it makes me smile~

I posted about the preps here....

Last year he learned how w/ Normie..and I posted 3 threads on that:)

We had some of Normie's last weekend w/ a raclette..it was as great as the first bite I ever had of theirs ap. 3 yrs ago..
We have enough for the year..and I love that feeling..something homemade that can be added to so many things..



and..this too..


I know what went in it..how it was made.. ♥


They all look different..in a certain way..
Some are spicy..
Some are Herbes De Provence..

Some are unique blends he made~

It's amazing..to the naked eye..the small fatty lines are not really visible..In a photo they are~
I know..
I am so lucky..

He makes bread..sausage..pizza.. risotto..prosciutto..and wine.
Quite a few other dishes too..but these are the main ones.
I look forward to his food..it's always good~

Never in a million years did I think 37 yrs ago... he would be making these things..
Granted he was a better cook than I was when we married..But I caught up..

And now.. I'd say we're even:)

This is so delicious~

Farfalle , petits pois et prosciutto..
Josée di Stasio is one of my favorite QC chefs..I have mentioned her quite a few times..
This recipe is no exception to her simple..great tasting pastas.
It is really nice to use our home made prosciutto :)

My friends Jojo and Norm are coming Sat. for dinner..you may remember Normand invited Jacques to join he and Salvatore in the making of it~



It's a keeper here..
