Oh my goodness, Eggs Benedict with Prosciutto.



Foodies beware, this dish will knock your socks off, and is easy enough to create.

Ingredients  you will need are:

  • Eggs
  • English muffin
  • Fresh asparagus
  • Thinly sliced prosciutto
  • White vinegar
  • McCormick Hollandaise sauce
To start, get the water boiling in a saute pan (so the egg doesn't touch the bottom), add one capful of vinegar* once water is rolling,  break egg in teacup and slowly put into water. Let the egg stay in there for about 4 minutes. In the interim, toast english muffin, add butter to muffin, steam asparagus (I cut mine up pretty small before so it takes about 3 minutes), start hollandaise. Once all the ingredients are done, compile like I have and give a sprinkle of cayenne on top and WA LA! 
*Vinegar helps keep the egg intact, a little trick I learned from my father in law.

Rustico Kitchen!





We went to Rustico Kitchen for a Spicy Italian meal for our 3rd wedding anniversary. We had such a blast and really good food and wine. I have been meaning to blog about it so here it is.
The menu consisted of:

  1. Homemade Cavatelli pasta with a spicy tomato sauce
  2. Lamb chops with the chef's Daddy's sauce, which consisted of a mixture of delicious ingredients I can't remember off the top of my head (tomato based) 
  3. Milan-born and vivacious Micol Negrin made it a very enjoyable and educational class with cleaniness being top priority. (note: she was not on the menu)
  4. A multen lava chocolate cake with a fresh whip cream topping. 
  5. 2 classes of wine, one white for the pasta dish and one red for the lambs. 
My explanation is not doing it justice and I would say you should try it out to get the hands on approach to cooking. We definitely make a better homemade tomato sauce that will knock your socks off.
