After we've used up all the fillings (this time braised beef, potato and herb, chicken, pork and the classic cheese and spinach) and filled the freezer with the tasty pillows of dough, we retire to the comfy chairs for Italian-inspired "snackage" bruschetta al pomodoro, prosciutto melone, salame, Italian cheese and (of course!) a bit more vino -- Lorenzo pulled out a 10 year-old Taurasi "RADICI" from Mastroberardino this evening.
After dolci (vanilla ice cream "poached" in espresso) followed by a shot of grappa or sambuca, we divide up the spoils so the tired but happy laborers can call it a night and head home -- until the spring when we'll do it all again!
Looks good!
