Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: La Quercia's Cured Meat Experience
I like to serve prosciutto thinly sliced, arranged beautifully on a plate...then grabbing the entire pile and stuffing it in my mouth.
Need help: office party food ideas
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! You guys are amazing. Seriously, seriously amazing.
Not only did you all give me ideas for our office potluck, but for my own holiday party!
So on my office party list (someone else is bringing the meat and cheese platter. Dammit!)
1) Puff pasty tart w/tomatoes, parm and oregano
2) Roasted/candied nuts
3) Mexican dip. (I made it last night. I'm not gonna lie: I ate half the pan in one go. I am a little ashamed of myself.)
EVERYTHING ELSE: party at my place. I'm extra excited about the spinach "brownies" and the different savory tarts.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
Pork adobo cooked old school: charcoal fire, clay pot, no soy sauce: just cuts of fatty, fatty pork, homemade palm vinegar, REAL garlic (tiny and powerful), bay leaf, peppercorns and a handful of seasalt. It was AMAZING.
