Do you have chow laid in?
We always lots of grubstakes in various forms. Odd. Haven't eaten in awhile!
I'll be fine. Plenty of food in stock if needed.
Teenager just texted she will be over to scoop snow soon. Might not help for long with the wind blowing.

My Pancetta Affumicata has arrived: This is a locally-made smoked pancetta. I didn't know about smoked pancetta until recently when I discovered a piece in a local market's deli case. I tried it and fell in love with it. It's not uncommon in Italy although it is rarely mentioned, at least here in the states. Since it's hard to come by in stores, I bought a 2½ pound chub directly from the producer.
IPA
Frankly and I am an Italophile - smoking is best left to Americans. I kid you not. Most smoked things I've had in Italy are just not that great!
Anyway, please take a shot when you slice it. Oh man!
That led to marriage in my case
And I didn't get a invite we need a pic to be legit

It doesn't look much different than regular pancetta, but the flavor is markedly different. It is a subtle smoke, not like BBQ, and what you get is more depth of flavor rather than intense flavor.
We've made smoked garlic (actually, my friend Jeff made it, I was part of the idea discussion) and it, too, is incredibly flavored and nuanced. Both the garlic and the pancetta add a nice, mellow, background note to any dish they're used in.
That came out of the left field!
I was talking about pancetta, bacon and guanciale today at work. Great timing!
Speck! Gotta go get some now, thanks alot!
