<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://haleysuzanne.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/img_0617.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-494" title="Spaghetti with Butternut Squash, Sage, and Prosciutto" src="http://haleysuzanne.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/img_0617.jpg?w=510" alt="" width="510" height="382" /></a></p>
<p>When I bought a butternut squash at the farmers' market, I knew I wanted to do something other than just roast it.  I wanted to make pasta with it - something sweet and savory at the same time.  This pasta does just that.  The butternut squash is sauteed just until it starts to break down, which allows it to coat the pasta and make a richer sauce.  It's garlicky and a little warm.  The sage lends a fresh, herbal flavor which brightens the other rich flavors.  This sauce is very easy and takes little effort.  </p>
<p><strong>Spaghetti with Butternut Squash, Sage, and Prosciutto</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>1/2 lbs of spaghetti</li>
<li>1 butternut squash, weighing between 1 and 1 1/2 lbs</li>
<li>extra virgin olive oil</li>
<li>2 cloves garlic, minced</li>
<li>1 generous pinch crushed red pepper</li>
<li>1/4 C thick slices of prosciutto, diced</li>
<li>1/2 T fresh sage, finely chopped</li>
<li>sea salt and freshly ground pepper</li>
</ul>
<div>Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions.  While the water is coming to a boil, cut the butternut squash in half.  Use a cleaver, and slowly rock it into place through the squash.  Remove the seeds and the stringy core and discard - a metal measuring tablespoon works very well.  Cut off the ends.  Use a vegetable peeler to peel the squash.  Cut the squash into approximately half-inch dice.  Cover the bottom of a large saute pan with olive and heat over medium-high heat.  Add the garlic, and saute for a couple minutes until it begins to turn golden.  Add the squash and season with the red pepper.  Saute the squash for 5-6 minutes until it softens - just before it begins to break down.  Add the prosciutto and continue to saute until the prosciutto begins to color and turn golden.  Continue to saute until the squash is just beginning to break down.  Remove from the heat.  Sprinkle over the sage and season with the salt and pepper.  When the pasta is done, drain reserving a few tablespoons of water.  Pour the drained pasta with the water into the saute pan.  Toss to combine.  Serve immediately.  </div>
<div>Serves 2.</div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33761137@N00/2920289332/" title="//badhuman.wordpress.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3013/2920289332_3f85051f09.jpg" width="240" height="360" alt="IMG_2443" /></a></p>
<p>For the past six years or so, I haven't had the typical American Fall season.  That is, I haven't had the typical going back to school, finding myself unusually busy after having a (somewhat) more relaxed schedule for 60 days or more.  Without kids, N. and I (J.), haven't had to worry about all that; it's just been business as usual, summer, spring, winter and fall.  </p>
<p>Now that I'm back to work with everyone else for the fall (after not having worked for bit), we've found it harder to spend as much time with the elaborate preparation of meals.  So, in order to continue with big taste in a fraction of the time, we've had to go (like a lot of folks) the easy-fast-tasty meal route.  </p>
<p>This is something that we found and liked a great deal.  It's got plenty of fresh, big taste, is easy, and fits in perfectly with what I would consider a fall motif of taste.  Oh, and it's a <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/whole-grain-spaghetti-with-pecorino-prosciutto-and-pepper-fall-recipe/index.html">Giada Recipe</a> like pretty much everything Italian we've made.</p>
<p>Whole-Grain Spaghetti with Pecorino, Prosciutto and Pepper:</p>
<p>1 pound whole-grain (or whole-wheat) spaghetti<br />
2 tablespoons mixed colored peppercorns, coarsely ground<br />
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil<br />
1 1/2 cups grated (6 ounces) pecorino<br />
6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped<br />
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley<br />
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves<br />
Directions<br />
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes.</p>
<p>While the pasta is cooking: Heat a small, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peppercorns and toast for about 20 to 30 seconds. Add the oil and cook for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat.</p>
<p>Drain the pasta reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Transfer the spaghetti to a large serving bowl. Add 1 cup of the pecorino and toss to combine, gradually adding reserved pasta water, if needed, to loosen up the pasta. Add the oil mixture, prosciutto, 2 tablespoons of parsley, and 2 tablespoons of basil. Toss well to combine all ingredients.</p>
<p>Garnish with the remaining pecorino, parsley, and basil.</p>
<p>Like I said, we really liked it, and I hope that you do too.  Let us know what you think.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beh, i congressi sono sempre interessanti dal punto di vista culinario.</p>
<p>Un coffee-break con qualche pastarella, poi pranzo con antipasto a base di pezzetti di mortazza, di formaggio, fettine di salame, di prosciutto (di Parma, probabilmente), e poi melanzane, pomodori e zucchine alla griglia. Poi un bis di pasta: tortelli burro e salvia e strozzapreti alle verdure. E un curioso semifreddo all'ananas!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Stamane riposavo allegramente sotto una palmetta di Bananas, sorseggiavo il mio consueto chinotto con scorzetta pensando ai fatti miei, quando la mia agenzia di stampa mi  ha avvisato che proprio ieri si è svolto via etere il combattimento tra galli cedroni statunistensi per accaparrarsi un po' di granaglie elettorali.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dovrei ora cercarmi un bravo opinionista di sinistra e uno di destra (il centro è da evitare come la peste) e lasciare che filtrino per me gli accadimenti, sostituendo quella che è la mia purezza emozionale con i loro  prezzolati punti di vista. Insomma, dovrei INFORMARMI.</p>
<p>kepalle io non ho voglia di informarmi. Con tutti i problemi che abbiamo, dedicherò la mia attenzione ad altro, non a questi tacchini televisivi, mi dico.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">tuttavia la curiosità prevale.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Lo vedi come trasformano la politica in soap-opera? uno si chiede: che si son detti? che ha detto mecchein?che ha risposto obama? Ma soprattutto: chi ha vinto? chi è sembrato più gagliardo? chi ha fatto una figuraccia da impreparato? perchè è questo che vogliamo sapere: se di gara <em>màscula</em> si tratta, vogliamo sapere chi è che ce l'ha politicamente più lungo e chi ha sodomizzato l'altro.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Boh. Recuperiamo un po' di Ansa.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Intanto mi becco questa foto, e già da qui capisci che aria tira: la vera protagonista della serata è in realtà la simbologia imperiale. Vedete, mi disturba oltremodo la grandezza spoporzionata dell'aquila fascista sullo sfondo. E' un segnale subliminale molto forte, orienta le coscienze ad una mentalità maschile, richiama la forza, lo stato, gli istinti bruti, la fierezza, il dominio, le energie yang. Mi disturba moltissimo, quasi non vedo i gallinacei candidati: non so se faccia anche a voi questo effetto, guardate un po':</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://bananasrepublik.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/obama_mccain.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-426" title="USA PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS" src="http://bananasrepublik.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/obama_mccain.jpg" alt="" width="368" height="345" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">(foto: Ansa. O "ANSIA", come volete)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Aaah vediamo poi che c'è scritto nella fascia FASCISTA imperialoide: <strong>"L'unione e la costituzione per sempre"</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">eehh per sempre per sempre.....come un diamante di de Beers. Questi amerikani sono degli illusi, noi italiani lo sappiamo benissimo che " per sempre " non c'è nulla, come dico sempre, per sempre c'è solo la carrà.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ora, l'Ansa mi rovina il gioco e mi avverte subito che <strong>"Nessuno dei due candidati alla Casa Bianca ha commesso clamorosi errori."</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Kepalle di nuovo!  insomma questi non si son "beccati"?? E me lo dici così?? Tipo com'è andata ieri roma-lazio? niente niente, non è successo un cazzo. Milan- inter, nulla nulla pareggio. Italia- germania, no no niente non hanno giocato, pioveva.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">ufffff. Che tedio. Miguel, dammi un altro chinotto che butta male oggi proprio.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Andiamo avanti, spulciamo la sceneggiata in cerca di qualche chicca consolatoria.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Poca roba.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>"Alla richiesta di indicare un buon ministro del Tesoro nel loro governo entrambi, curiosamente, hanno menzionato il miliardario Warren Buffett. Una delle poche cose su cui i due si sono trovati d'accordo."</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Però. Dovrò chiamarlo pure io a Bananas allora questo Warren, che magari risolleva i miei dubbi da correntista Mediolanum. Warren quanto pago di commissioni per i bonifici? warren ho smarrito il PIN cosa devo fare? Warren vorrei richiedere un'altra carta.... Warren CONSULENTE GLOBALE  ma soprattutto Family Banker. Non male, non male.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">ma proseguiamo con questa irresistibile lettura, evvero:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>"Obama ha ribadito che il suo piano farà pagare meno tasse al 95 per cento degli americani."</strong> (gnèèèk, non ci crediamo, tasserà pure i piccioni nelle piazze e lo sa benissimo)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>"Mecchein ha ammesso che gli americani sono "arrabbiati e un po' impauriti" per l'attuale situazione economica"</strong> ( minchia un genio proprio questo mecchein, c'ha la stoffa dello statista proprio, che intuito micidiale, che finezza politica)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">sempre mecchein: <strong>"da presidente ordinerò al Tesoro di rinegoziare i mutui immobiliari a rischio per aiutare i proprietari delle case a fare i pagamenti."</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">ahahahaah! aspettate un attimo che questa mi ricorda Berlusca nel 2006, che in TV all'ultimo minuto alla disperata aveva detto con sorriso mediaset e dito puntato alle telecamere:  EBBENE SI AMICI ASCOLTATORI, AVETE CAPITO BENE: SE MI ELEGGETE IO TOGLIERO' L'ICI!! TOGLIERO' L'ICI BRUTTI STRONZI!!(ma solo alle prime 30 telefonate)  :D</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">ahahah! che tempi ragazzi....</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">vabbè, ma torniamo in amerika, che per una volta non siamo qui a parlare di italia (ma non so cos'è peggio)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">aspetta aspetta che forse però la mia piccola perla l'ho trovata, eeeh lo sapevo che a ben cercare avrei avuto una qualche gioia stamattina ad "informarmi":</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Obama: <strong>"non ho ancora capito perché abbiamo invaso l'Iraq quando i responsabili dell'11/9 erano altrove".</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Lo spessore di questa analisi politica è la stessa di un marito che dice alla moglie NON HO CAPITO PERCHE' IL PROSCIUTTO L'HAI PRESO DA MICHELE E NON DA MARIO, comunque è inquietante, perchè sembra volerci dire: adesso di guerra invece ne iniziamo un'altra, questa volta dove  ci sono VERAMENTE  i terroristi.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">E  infatti si legge</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>"Obama ha definito 'inaccettabile' un Iran nucleare ed 'una priorità uccidere Osama bin Laden e schiacciare Al Qaida'."</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Aaah, ecco, doveva arrivare il momento della sodomizzazione di qualcuno: eccolo qui!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Premesso che un qualunque politico che metta come priorità <strong>UCCIDERE QUALCUNO</strong> è un pazzo criminale assassino autodichiarato.... Io con questo signori miei mi figuro bello che sodomizzato sapete chi? no, non Osama Bin Laden : quello è uno spauracchio preziosissimo che camperà altri 120 anni.... no, sarà sodomizzato tutto quel manipolo di illusi liberal-chic di sinistra che mi parlano di Obama con gli occhi sognanti, con la voce pia, come del Presidente che "darà una svolta" (a che cosa? all'amerika? al mondo? al primo incrocio per la recessione globale??alla mia messa in piega??).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">votate, votate fiduciosi, amici liberal sostenitori della "democrazia". Voi che credete nell'alternanza, che vi dondolate nell'amaca del pacifismo e dei diritti, che guardate all'orizzonte sognando un eroe che non verrà: attenti signori, attenti al grande Obama. Perchè credo proprio che sarà lui a spezzarvi l'incanto.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I admit it, since Lilia came along meals got a little less gourmet and a lot more functional around here. I stopped planning nice dinners, setting the table, and you can forget about lighting candles.  Instead I've gotten much better at making dinner with what's on hand or as Adam calls it, scrounging.</p>
<p>Now that <a href="http://lilialately.wordpress.com/2008/09/20/welcome-home-sarah/" target="_blank">Sarah's</a> here for a bit, I've got an extra set of hands, the inspiration and cooperation to whip up a nice supper after Lilia's in bed, and look, I even lit a couple candles. Fancy.</p>
<p><a title="Fancy supper by laurakthomas, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lilia_mason/2914891513/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3054/2914891513_9645a17bf3.jpg" alt="Fancy supper" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>First up on the menu was Tortellini in a Cambazola cream sauce with figs, prosciutto, toasted pine nuts and blanched asparagus. And if you think that sounds good, you should see what we did with the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lilia_mason/2914891749/" target="_blank">leftovers</a>!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:6pt 6pt 0;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin:6pt 6pt 0;"></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span></span></span></div>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:#000000;"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:6pt 6pt 0;"><span style="font-size:13pt;color:#000000;">What are the top 5 best meals you’ve ever had? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:13pt;color:#000000;">I've asked this question to pretty much everyone I know at sometime or another. For some reason I find the topic of ‘best meals’ very interesting. A meal is such a fabulous part of human interaction and<strong> day-to-day life</strong>. For all of history, people have always shared meals together. I truly enjoy sitting with friends or family, eating good food and having a solid conversation. Dinnertime is a beautiful thing and it doesn’t receive the attention and appreciation that it deserves. Usually, the best meals have <strong>some sort of story</strong> behind them. There is some other reason that a meal makes the top 5 besides the food. It’s really the story that I am after when I ask anyone about his or her Top 5 meals. So if you’re interested, here are some of my favorite meals and why they are so memorable. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:13pt;color:#000000;">Antipasto in Italy<br />
When I was 16, my family took our first vacation to Europe. We started in Rome for 3 days before boarding a cruise ship and sailing to Greece, Malta, Spain and France. The trip was full of memories, but one of the best was <strong>our last night in Rome</strong>. We went to a small, family owned restaurant. I don’t remember what the place was called, but there couldn’t of been more than <strong>5 tables in the whole place</strong>. We ordered the antipasto to share and separate dinners for everyone. This was no average antipasto, with a few olives and cheese on a platter. The waiter brought us bowls of different types of olives, melon with prosciutto, five different kinds of sausage, roasted vegetables, and some of the <strong>most delicious cheeses I’ve ever tasted</strong>. We canceled the orders for dinner and just feasted on the antipasto.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:13pt;color:#000000;">Christmas Eve<br />
There is no specific Christmas Eve that sticks out. Instead this meal makes the list because it has been <strong>exactly the same for as long as I can remember</strong>. That’s what I love about Christmas Eve in my family, the tradition. <strong>My great-grandmother</strong> used to cook the traditional Polish meal and have everyone (about 25 people) at her house. When she was too old, my grandmother took over. Every year, the meal is exactly the same. Grandma makes pierogie, sauerkraut, mushroom soup, fried white fish, pickled herring, and fruit compote. The food is homey and comforting and cooked with <strong>lots of butter</strong>. After dinner we open gifts and then return to the huge table for cookies, nut roll, and coffee. I love my family’s traditions and take pride in them. And someday, I might be the one cooking this same exact meal for my grandchildren.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:13pt;color:#000000;">Family Dinners at Kiawah<br />
The reasons for cherishing the family dinners during our summer vacations at the beach are very similar to the reasons for loving Christmas Eve dinner. Whereas Christmas Eve is always celebrated with my mom’s side of the family, <strong>summer trips to the beach</strong> were always with my dad’s side of the family. All of the aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents stayed in the same beach house and each person was in charge of making dinner for everyone one night of the week. After a long day of playing in the waves, building sand castles, and flying kites, there was always a big plate of <strong>spaghetti or barbequed chicken</strong> shared with all my family to look forward to at the end of the day.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:13pt;color:#000000;">Backyard at Mickey’s<br />
Last summer I had a few friends, Jamie, Alyssa and her roommate, and Dave, over for dinner at my aunt’s house when they were out of town for the weekend. I made a <strong>spinach salad and ravioli</strong> for dinner. And we had lots and <strong>lots of wine</strong> and rum. We sat for hours in the backyard drinking and talking and enjoying each other’s company. It was <strong>exactly what a good meal should be</strong>: good friends and good food. Everyone stayed late and some of the guests hooked up later that night, but that’s another story completely.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:13pt;color:#000000;">Picnic in the Park in Madrid<br />
Jamie, Jordana and I traveled to Spain and visited with Amy in Madrid. Amy was a great host and gave us a full <strong>tour of the city. </strong>We spent Sunday afternoon in the park, eating our picnic, <strong>dancing in the drum circles,</strong> drawing by the lake and smoking jays. <strong>The picnic was a feast</strong> of tomato and cheese sandwiches, pistachio nuts, corn nuts, chocolate covered raisins, grapes, strawberries, and cheap wine mixed with coke. It was a great afternoon and one of the highlights of the whole vacation. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:13pt;color:#000000;">Honorable Mentions:</span><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:13pt;color:#000000;font-family:&#34;"><span style="font-size:small;">M</span>aryland crabs at Mickey’s lake house, the best seafood I’ve ever had in New York City, Indian food in Amsterdam, Rasta at All Good Festival, Samrat and dude lunches, corn on the cob on the backyard bonfire, Saturday morning pancakes with Kath.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

La glassa serve a condire maccheroni o timballi. La carne affettata e guarnita con contorni vari, è ottima.</span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pecorino Romano is one of my favorite cheeses and I was looking for a dish to make with it.  This simple pasta recipe doesn’t take long to make and is full of flavor.  You can make it as spicy as you want with red pepper flakes.</p>
<p><a href="http://recipemashups.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/bucatiniam1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-717" title="bucatiniam1" src="http://recipemashups.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/bucatiniam1.jpg?w=655" alt="" width="655" height="425" /></a></p>
<p>I combined parts of two recipes I found online:  <a title="Bucatini All'Amatriciana" href="http://italianfood.about.com/od/meatsauces/r/blr1007.htm">Bucatini All’Amatriciana from About.com’s Italian food section</a>, and <a title="Bucatini All'Amatriciana" href="http://trulli-italian.com/bucatini.htm">Bucatini alla Matriciana from Trulli Italian</a>.</p>
<p>I didn’t have pancetta so used prosciutto instead.  Probably less authentic for this dish but it still tasted great.   Drawing from the first recipe, I used blanched, peeled and seeded fresh tomatoes.  I incorporated the following parts of the second recipe that weren't in the first: added red pepper flakes and a minced clove of garlic to the onions while they were sautéing.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I saw this beautiful and humongous copper frying pan at <a href="http://www.housingworks.org/" target="_blank">Housing Works</a> and because it was so damn cheap, I just had to have it. I felt so french, I wanted to ride home with a baguette in the basket of my bike. It also gave me a legit excuse to drink half a bottle of red wine at 2pm. Holla. The whole frenchie thing was making me hungry for crepes. But none of that silly fruity stuff, mines was packed with cheese and pork. Check it check it out.</p>
<p><a href="http://moremeat.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/crepe.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-331" title="Crepe with Proscutto and Gruyere" src="http://moremeat.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/crepe.jpg" alt="" width="460" height="344" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Crepe with Prosciutto and Gruyere</strong></p>
<p>1 egg<br />
1/2 cup of milk<br />
1/2 cup and 3 tbs of water<br />
the zest of 1/2 of lemon<br />
pinch of salt<br />
1 tbs of melted butter<br />
1 cup of flour<br />
butter for frying<br />
prosciutto for draping<br />
1/2 cup of gruyere, shredded</p>
<p>This serves 2. Take about 30 minutes total.</p>
<p>Combine the egg, milk, water, zest, salt, and melted butter. Wisk in the flour slowly and continue to beat until the batter is smooth. Let the batter chill for about 10 minutes while you shred the cheese and heat your pan. Add butter to your heated pan. Use a very wide and shallow frying pan, non-stick would be awesome but not essential - obvi I used copper. If your pan is less than 13 inches in diameter, you're going to want to make 2 separate smaller crepes.</p>
<p>When the butter is melted in the pan, pour the batter and spread thin by tilting the pan. With the heat on medium to almost highish, the crepe will cook for about 2 minutes on each side. When the crepe starts to get little holes and you can slide the crepe around the pan, it's time flip (yeah good luck with that, mine ripped in like, 4 different parts - smaller crepes will def be easier to flip).</p>
<p>So flip it foreal. Let it cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle on the cheese. When it melts, slide you crepe onto a plate and roll a fatty. Drape your prosciutto along the top of the crepe. Share with your man with some wine on a rainy afternoon. (PS, this would be great served with a side salad of greens with fresh lemon juice.)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-95" title="La Bellota, (ghianda)" src="http://prosciuttopatanegra.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/bellotas.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Con il termine <strong>ghianda</strong> si indica il frutto delle querce, alberi appartenenti ai generi <em>Quercus</em> (Europa), <em>Lithocarpus</em> (Asia e Nord America) e <em>Cyclobalanopsis</em> (Asia) nella famiglia Fagaceae. È un frutto secco indeiscente del tipo achenio, rivestito solo parzialmente da una cupola e contenente di norma un singolo seme. Ha una forma pressoché cilindrica. Le caratteristiche morfologiche delle ghiande constituiscono un importante elemento diagnostico nella determinazione a livello specifico del genere <em>Quercus</em>.</p>
<p>Le ghiande rappresentano una importante parte della dieta di molti animali inclusi: uccelli (come ad es. le ghiandaie, i piccioni, alcune papere e molte specie di picchi, piccoli mammiferi (es. topi, scoiattoli). Altri mammiferi di grossa e media taglia come maiali, orsi e cervi si nutrono di ghiande che possono rappresentare fino al 25% della loro dieta autunnale. Le ghiande contengono, in percentuali variabili a seconda della specie, una grande quantità di proteine, carboidrati e grassi, minerali e vitamine.<br />
Un tempo venivano utilizzate quale alimentazione per i maiali dato l'elevato potere nutritivo del frutto.</p>
<p>La bellota (ghianda) è l'alimento base di maiale iberici con il quale se produce il famoso <a href="http://www.spanishtaste.es/ita">prosciutto iberico spagnolo di bellota </a>(ghianda) Pata Negra o Patanegra.<br />
Durante la montanera (ottobre a gennaio)il maiale mangia molte ghiande. Questa è il responsabile di quel sapore che è così caratteristica del prosciutto pata negra bellota (ghianda).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pata Negra è un tipo di prosciutto spagnolo, il prosciutto iberico o "<a href="http://www.spanishtaste.es/ita">jamon iberico</a>".<br />
Il prosciutto iberico che è fatto con il maiale alimentato con ghianda (bellota) è il prosciutto pata negra di più alta qualità.<br />
Pata Negra vuole dire "zampa nera".<br />
Ha questo nome perché la maggior parte dei prosciutti iberici hanno la zampa nera (pata negra), ma non tutti.<br />
Ecco perché, quando si desidera acquistare un buon prosciutto iberico <strong><a href="http://www.spanishtaste.es/ita">Pata Negra</a></strong>, dovete essere di <strong><a href="http://www.spanishtaste.es/ita">Bellota</a></strong> (ghianda).</p>
<p>Questo tipo di prosciutto solo rappresenta circa il cinque per cento del totale della produzione di prosciutto.</p>
<p>Il contenuto di grassi è relativamente elevato rispetto al tipico "jamon iberico" dando così un ricco gusto.</p>
<p>Le migliori varietà di pata negra è nutriti e ingrassati gamma di ghiande e boschi di querce da sughero sud lungo il confine tra Spagna e Portogallo, in Estremadura e Huelva.<br />
Il più popolare è il Patanegra di Jabugo che è da Huelva.</p>
<p>In Spagna, è conosciuto anche come "<a href="http://www.spanishtaste.es/ita">Jamón Iberico de Bellota</a>".</p>

<p>Ricetta velocissima ma gustossima: si preparano dei rotolini sovrapponendo una fettina di lonza di maiale, una fettina di crudo dolce di parma e mezza sottiletta. Formato il rotolino, lo fissiamo con uno stuzzicadenti, e lo aromatizziamo inserendo un rametto di rosmarino al suo interno.</p>
<p>In una  padella soffriggiamo uno spicchio d'aglio con un filo d'olio, togliamo l'aglio e facciamo rosolare i rotolini. A cottura quasi ultimata spalmiamo un cucchiaino di senape rustica su ogni rotolino, lasciamo cuocere altri due minuti e impiattiamo.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We've cooked a lot of recipes using scallops (one of my favorites, yet to appear here, is scallops with pancetta <a href="http://cookingandcoding.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/imgp1004.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-72" title="imgp1004" src="http://cookingandcoding.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/imgp1004.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>and pea shoots), but this is my new favorite.  We were inspired by a fabulous dinner we ate at <a href="http://www.harvestvine.com/">the Harvest Vine</a> - one of the best restaurants in Seattle.  This recipe combines the buttery flavors of prosciutto melted into the sweet flesh of the scallops, over woody oyster mushrooms.  By the way, oyster mushrooms are, in my opinion, one of the hidden treasures of the supermarktet.  At least here in the NW, we can get them for about $8 per pound, which is a steal for such a great tasting mushroom.</p>
<p><strong>The Scallops</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>2 Large (U16) Scallops (About 1/2 pound)</li>
<li>2 slices prosciutto, preferably imported from Parma or Serrano</li>
<li>Salt and Pepper</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Preheat the oven to 450°. Prepare the scallops by removing the foot (the tough tissue on one side of the meat).  Salt and pepper liberally on both sides.</li>
<li>Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high and add enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan.  Wrap the prosciutto slices around the scallops, tucking the ends so the wrap is tight.</li>
<li>Once the oil has barely started to smoke, add the scallops to the pan, and immediately place in the oven.</li>
<li>As the scallops cook in the oven, the fat from the prosciutto will slowly baste the whole package.  When done, the scallops will be caramelized on top and the prosciutto will be slightly crispy, about 5 minutes.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>The Oyster Mushrooms</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>1 pound oyster mushrooms</li>
<li>2 cloves garlic</li>
<li>1 shallot</li>
<li>1 tsp thyme</li>
<li>1/2 tsp paprika</li>
<li>1 tbsp butter</li>
<li>salt and pepper</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Cut the mushrooms of the main stalk, and rinse.  Mince the shallot and garlic.</li>
<li>Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter.  Once hot, add the garlic and shallots.  Cook for about a minute, until soft.</li>
<li>Add the oyster mushrooms, thyme and paprika.  Continue cooking for 5 minutes on medium heat, then reduce to low for another 10 minutes.  The oyster mushrooms will be done when they have darkened in color and began to caramelize.  Finish with salt and pepper to taste.</li>
</ol>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>Preparazione:</strong></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Spellate e pulite la faraona, cercando di toglierle quanto più grasso possibile. Tagliatela a pezzi e tenetela da parte.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Pulite i pomodori secchi dal sale e teneteli in un piatto fondo con dell’acqua tiepida ( che cambierete spesso) in modo che perdano quasi del tutto il loro sapore salato.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Pulite e lavate le verdure, tritatele non troppo finemente e fatele rosolare in una capiente casseruola con poco olio a, fiamma media.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Quando il soffritto avrà preso calore aggiungete la faraona e pochissima acqua. Proseguite al cottura, a fiamma bassa e scoperto, finche l’acqua no sarà evaporata girando spesso la carne, in modo che cuocia su tutti i lati.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Quando l’acqua sarà evaporata sfumate con poco vino bianco e proseguite al cottura.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Nel frattempo spellate i pomodori e tagliateli a pezzi, <span> </span>fate lo stesso con i pomodori secchi che avrete scolato e asciugato in precedenza. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Aggiungete i pomodori alla carne, speziate a piacere e coprite. Proseguite la cottura fino a quando la faraona non sarà cotta e il fondo ristretto ( ma non troppo).</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Poco prima di servire aggiungete il prosciutto cotto a dadini (se l’avete intero) o a striscioline (se lo avete affettato).</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Accompagnate con del riso bollito o con del cus-cus.</span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Bruschetta, Prosciutto</strong> and <strong>Parmigiano</strong> are three of the most important foods in the Italian diet. Despite Americans consume a great amount of Italian food we often pronounce them wrong. How many times to you take a stab at ordering "Brushetta" in a restaurant instead bru-sket-ta or a sandwich with "prosquitto" instead of pro-shoo-toe...and we really offend the people from Parma, Italy with our "Parmesean cheese", which is nothing but a cheap phony imposter. The real name is protected and legally, it refers exclusively to the Parmigiano-Reggiano DOP. Every wheel of their cheese is tested by a master with nothing but a hammer and his ear! After they pass inspection they are branded with their logo certifying their origin and authenticity. Remember that the next time you see Kraft 's Parmesan, shiny green can sitting in you cubbord. I think we need to question our eating habits...real cheese is refrigerated, right? So why do we buy it on a shelf next to dry Mueller pasta? <a href="http://accolla.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/180px-kraftparmesan.jpg"><img src="http://accolla.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/180px-kraftparmesan.jpg" alt="" title="kraftparmesan" width="180" height="240" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-74" /></a></p>

<p>This was really good and simple.  Changes in green.</p>
<p>Source:  Food &#38; Wine Magazine</p>
<p>2 tbs. olive oil</p>
<p>5 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, finely chopped <span style="color:#1ce34c;">(3 oz package)</span></p>
<p>2 large garlic cloves, minced</p>
<p>1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1 inch cubes</p>
<p>Salt and freshly ground pepper</p>
<p>2 tbs. balsamic vinegar</p>
<p>1 pound arugula, stems discarded and leaves chopped <span style="color:#1ce34c;">(I used 1 bag of arugula; I did not think this was enough after it cooked down)</span></p>
<p>1 pound plum tomatoes, chopped</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1.  In a very large skillet, heat the olive oil.  Add the prosciutto and garlic and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the garlic is golden brown, about 4 minutes.  Transfer to a plate.</p>
<p>2.  Season the pork with salt and pepper, and add them to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat until well browned on the outside and medium within, 3 to 4 minutes per side.  Transfer the pork to a plate and keep warm.</p>
<p>3.  Add the balsamic vinegar to the skillet and cook until nearly evaporated, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.  Add the arugula and toss until wilted, about 2 minutes.  Add the tomatoes and the prosciutto and garlic.  Cook over high heat for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally; season with salt and pepper.  Transfer the arugula to a platter, top with the pork and serve.</p>

<p>This was so delicious and felt really fancy!  (Much fancier than drive through does ;) I think it had to do with the decadent drizzle of olive oil on top...mmmmmmm.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ingredienti:<br />
- tre sogliole, da ciascuna delle quali si ricaveranno due filetti per lato<br />
- sei fette di prosciutto, dolce, tipo Parma, meglio S. Daniele. Ciascuna tagliata a metà per avere più o meno la larghezza del filetto di sogliola<br />
- due o tre foglie di alloro<br />
- un rametto di rosmarino per ogni rotolino<br />
- uno scalogno, uno spicchio d'aglio, prezzemolo<br />
- mezzo bicchiere di vino bianco, mezzo cucchiaino di Maizena<br />
- 30 grammi di burro<br />
- olio, sale, pepe</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/saledolce/2835834776/" title="Rotolini di sogliola prosciutto e alloro di saledolce, su Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3250/2835834776_fa806f0db1.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Rotolini di sogliola prosciutto e alloro" /></a></p>
<p>Dato uno sguardo al risultato finale, andiamo a ripercorrere le fasi di preparazione.</p>
<p>Su un tagliere stendere la fettina di prosciutto, e metterci sopra un filetto di sogliola. Con il coltello ritagliare la fettina di prosciutto in modo che non sporga troppo dalla sogliola. Ora spennelliamo con un pò del burro, che avremo fuso, i filetti di sogliola. Un pizzico di sale, una passata dai pepe sui filetti, e possiamo passare a formare i rotolini. </p>
<p>Nel centro di ognuno piazziamo un rametto di rosmarino:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/saledolce/2835823566/" title="Rotolini di sogliola prosciutto e alloro di saledolce, su Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3096/2835823566_b23f884edd.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Rotolini di sogliola prosciutto e alloro" /></a></p>
<p>I rotolini poi cuoceranno in forno per 10 minuti a 160 gradi.</p>
<p>Nel frattempo prepariamo la salsina di alloro che li guarnirà: si prepara un trito di alloro, aglio, prezzemolo e scalogno. In una padellina, con quattro cucchiai d'olio, facciamo soffriggere delicatamente il trito per 5 minuti. Ora sfumiamo con il mezzo bicchiere di vino, nel quale avremo disciolto la maizena, e lasciamo sul fuoco dolcissimo finchè non addensa.</p>
<p>I rotolini di sogliola andranno disposti sul piatto e irrorati con la salsina, come nella foto sotto che ritrae (nuovamente) il piatto finito e composto.</p>
