V-Day Giveaway: Praise the Lard Box from Zingerman's

Lovely pork,
Alighting on my fork,
Riding on my thighs,
Delightful to my eyes.

Beautiful to eat,
Obsession, for such, bacon can't be beat;
X-ceptional among all foods,

But, sadly, doesn't go well in booze.
Eeesh, seriously, have you tried a bacon-tini?

Makes your belly go all squeamy.
In that one gustatory arena, pork you fail.
Never fear my dear, 'tis no travail,
Easily, I could consume you by the pail.

Eat for Eight Bucks: Spaghetti in Creamy Pea Sauce with Crisped Prosciutto

Oh Michele, this looks lovely, I'm so going to try it, but maybe with grilled shrimp. All the pea-haters be hatin' in vain. Just try it first you pea-heads! Peas are absolutely great RAW or very LIGHTLY cooked, just as Michele notes. Plus they are cheap, full of vitamins, keep well frozen and cook fast. A perfect food, really. I'm going to try this recipe with spaghetti squash instead of pasta for a lower-carb version. Damn, now I'm hungry!

Wow, we just moved house and are only 1/3 unpacked and I could still make these cupcakes today! Glad to see Michele blogging here too...

Eat for Eight Bucks: Spaghetti in Creamy Pea Sauce with Crisped Prosciutto

I just made this recipe this weekend and we loved it! The pureed sauce takes care of my texture issue with peas perfectly. I think next time I'm going to try it with spiral pasta and serve it as a side dish.

Thank you all for the awesome acrostics. They made for fun LOLs at SEHQ (and probably wherever else Serious Eats is read). There were congratulations to our winner, hootspa:

Robust praise
In circles culinaire for
Porcine pleasures
Without compare
Imbibe! Your
Lardoons culled from
Bellies round with
Unctuous
Richness, pound for pound

The judges said: Points for originality, humor, and the rhymes. Well played!

Eat for Eight Bucks: Spaghetti in Creamy Pea Sauce with Crisped Prosciutto

We had this the other night and my husband said it was a keeper. It was pretty darn good. Next time though I don't think I'll bother using the sieve and just use all of the pea purée.

I concur--these weren't very good. I have to say, I've repeatedly been disappointed by MS's recipes.

Gotta go with the consensus and say Bagel and cream cheese. Add a side of cooked onions and mushrooms to mine, please. Oh, and a cup of fresh squeezed grapefruit juice. :)

Didn't realize that we could enjoy New York brunch food in Texas. Guess it would have to be barbecue beef with lots of sauce on a slice of white bread.
