I'll be making Master's favorite tonight, with an addition of some sliced fresh tomatoes. We have some tasty roasted garlic focaccia so I might make some bruschetta to go with it.
If these high temps continue (110+ forecast through the weekend), we may be eating cereal and salads the rest of the week.![]()
A good idea for a cold pasta on a hot day in mini farrelle (I might of spelled it right) with tomato, fresh buffala mozzarella, fresh basil and a little bit of EVO, Its a real Italian summer dish and its wonderful.
We do a variation for lunch on a semi-regular basis: mozzarella, tomato, prosciutto (torn in pieces), roasted garlic (if I have some in the fridge), avocado, basil pesto and a splash of EVOO, served with some bread to sop up the juices. Mmmmm
We've been known to make a dinner out of salsa fresca and chips, too. LOL
Yoghurt, bilberries, crushed flax seeds and orange blossom honey. So easy, so good.
Has anyone here done their own sausages? I'd love to try, but everyone I know that has tried says it's horrible, so I'm looking for some positive encouragement.![]()
My favorite is capresse I miss Italy so much. sounds like we should all get together for dinner and eat till we pop. lol.
I've never been to Italy, but I dream of going some day. It's the 2nd country on my wish list, after Spain.

i cannot stuff anything (the horror!), but i make my own breakfast sausages all the time. i grind my own pork and/or beef, just the cuts i want because i'm very picky about that sort of thing, then add fennel and garlic, mustard seed and whatever other spices i like...shape them into little patties and cook them on the griddle pan. i use the meat grinding attachment that came with my kitchen-aid.
