I had a conversation about prosciutto with my foodie friends yesterday over dinner (he's as passionate about food as you are...). Apparently someone they know spent 10 grand on a prosciutto slicer, since the normal deli slicers heat up and "cook" the meat ever so slightly.
The Spaniards and Italians bar keeps seem to do alright with a very sharp knife. To me that seems the best solution, skill!I had a conversation about prosciutto with my foodie friends yesterday over dinner (he's as passionate about food as you are...).

Y'all are making me hungry and all I have to look forward to is a cafeteria lunch
Don't get me started on the prosciutto. The USDA has been giving me the run around, and won't give me a permit. Such a massive PITA.

The Spainards are GOOD. That jamon serrano rack they have is out of sight, and their knifework is second only to a Japanese fishmongers knife work (which is a blast to watch at 0530 when walking bleary eyed through Tsukiji)
Alas, my knifework will not ever be that good.
I won't send you links to photos then Scott, it seems half of the "snaps" I take are of whatever I happen to be eating at that time.

mm, food.

I forgot my lunch today so no choice. Restaurants around here are too jammed packed during lunch. Athens for me next month!I skip the cafeteria here. Boriiiiing. Only trouble is that I know all the close by restaurants too well, too.
Oh well, 2 weeks to Kauai and 6 weeks to Milan.
Been that way as long as I can remember, they always take your cured meats, although I did sneak in an excellent Salami once when I was 11.
My travel plans over the next two start great and slowly decline:
Italy
Dallas
Dayton
Ireland
Germany
Poland
India
Malaysia
Philippines
Japan
Mexico
But I did have some corned beef out of a sealed pack today for lunch.
No one I know has really like Morocco. They all had it down as a been there done that place.early fall: most likely Morocco. I'm thinking of flying into Paris and hanging out there for 3 nights before heading on...
other places still TBD.
Do the taxpayers know they are sending you on exotic travel to strange lands?And mine:
Salt Lake City (work)
I was out there a couple of weeks ago, too. Going out just for the training, and no time in the agenda for sightseeing. Might walk through the square, though.Do the taxpayers know they are sending you on exotic travel to strange lands?
BTW Temple Square is worth the visit. Do NOT write down your address on any guest book if you do not want visitors when you come home. Prior to going you may wish to watch 'The Mormons' documentary that was on PBS. As you are from Illinois there will be a lot of local information that will come in handy when you visit.
This is mine (just work)
Macau, China
Athens
Denver, CO
Amsterdam
Kobe, Japan
Hiroshima, Japan
Macau, China
Caribbean
and I know, at one point or another this weekend, I committed to go somewhere the weekend of the 10th in May. I just forget where
May 11: Mother's Day. I've got something almost every weekend from now until late May.... and it all could become a shambles if we make progress on either of the foreign deals.

Really? I'm going on the recommendation of at least 4 friends for this one.
Mention Morocco and three words immediately come to mind:
"Ishtar"
"Marrakech Express"
