Important matters concerning the existence of Humanity - BACON

[WT Door]

Tonight’s house pasta:
Paglia e Fieno (“straw and hay”), house style

Half spinach, half regular egg fettuccine
Italian panna di cucina (cooking cream, rather like crême fraiche)
Sauteéed chunks of chicken breast
Smashed roasted garlic cloves (a lot)
A few judicious spoonfuls of homemade pesto to add color and flavor
Massive handfuls of cooked and crumbled Wright’s bacon to add at table
A big chunk of authentic Parmigiana, fed into my ancient Mouli cheese shredder from bella Napoli.

Paglia e Fieno Alla Panna Con Pollo, Pesto e Wright’s!

Cibo Italiano? Let my imagination run… I think a bottle of Est! Est!! Est!! would go nicely with your meal. I will toss in the figs wrapped with prosciutto as the Bacon Lord has previously decreed prosciutto acceptable on this thread. Neapolitan rum babà or tiramisu for dessert? A nice limoncello after that would be perfetto. DW got a limoncello recipe from an Italian Officer’s nonna who was from Amalfi. Heavenly. Buon appetito a Voi!

Grazie mille - I was thinking we would waddle to the nearest gelateria for some limone. Something lemon after a rich plate like this is almost mandatory.

We had a few glasses of an Orvieto Classico.

And ooh - figs with prosciutto. Have you ever had them with a bit of mascarpone tucked in as well? Had those at a neighbor’s summer house on Ischia.

I want to thank everyone who has ever posted in it for making it the happiest, light-hearted thread I have ever seen, anywhere.

Wait! Did you just say there are other threads here? Whaaat?!?!

Mine is orange - yours?
Be quick with your answer so the Dread Bacon Lord doesn’t catch us.

Oops. Silver. It's 50 years old and made of metal.

We just returned from DH’s birthday dinner at Grapes Wine Bar in Annapolis, a favorite of ours. I broke my no-phones-at table rule to share with you the Apple Wedge Salad with romaine, blue cheese, crisp tart thin slices of Granny Smith apples, lightly touched with apple vinaigrette - and copious bits of crisp bacon tucked away everywhere. And yes, the Belgian frites are one of my favorite vegetable servings there. DH had the roasted golden beet salad with piped whipped Gorgonzola cream. We followed this with a platter of Wagyu sliders and shared rum raisin bread pudding. They also have my favorite rosé Champagne by the glass there.
