Sunday gave us time to make and enjoy another great dinner. Brad is really enjoying cooking together. He chops, grates, stirs, sautees, kneads, and basically does whatever task I ask of him to help me get several things done at the same time. We started with prosciutto and melon (Brad had some, and I decided to save mine for my lunch at work on Monday).
We had a yummy spinach salad with peaches and pine nuts with a peachy dressing.
Our entree was risotto with sausage, carrots and sage.
Dessert was a Florentine Cheese Tart.
We ended the meal with a hoarded bottle of Brachetto di Acqui. We have two bottles left! It is SO refreshing in this heat!

I had an astoundingly good lemon risotto Saturday night, and it was a wedding, so it had been made en masse for 150 people, so it can't be a touchy dish.
The other surprisingly good thing was the onions in the antipasto. Two kinds, one similar to my recipe in the SlowTrav cookbook, the other a very tasty version of cipolle agrodolce... I detected garlic in them.
Remember to save room for Italy!

Hi Palma! It was great meeting you and Brad in Assisi. Must have been the week for risotto as I made it, too, but to be eaten cold...it's still hot over here!
I've nominated you for a Schmooze Award! :)

Palma - it looks wonderful. So what are you making next May - is it planned out yet? LOL
I wish I had more Brachetto di Acqui. My tiny bottle will have to be saved for something really special.
