Macchi family mini-vacation in the Eastern Townships

I am re-posting this post because the Annual Ayer’s Cliff Fair is on this coming weekend!

“I am back from my 5 day vacation and wanted to share some pictures with you from the Annual Ayer’s Cliff Fair. Never mind the 20” low profile tires, you should have seen the tires on these tractors! Kids loved it and had a great day and when they are happy we are happy =).”

If you plan to bring your family please come up and say “Hi” if you see me!!

 

MrsMacchi's New Profile Picture

I made a post yesterday asking for help with my decision of my profile picture, and I have to say thank god I did! Because the outcome was not what I would have chosen,, which was picture #1,  but it was what my photographer Vadim Daniel chose though, Vadim I bet you’re happy now . Between the comments here on the blog, the Facebook fan page and my personal Facebook profile, picture number two was the winning picture without any hesitation.

MrsMacchi's recipe with Grana Padano

Previously today I showed you how you can really enjoy having parmigiano on it’s own without hardly any preparation! I will now show you one of my favorite recipes, with my favorite parmigiano cheese, The Grana Padano. I really love this cheese, it is similar to the reggiano but creamier. This cheese is off course a cheese that we supply our clients with here at Macchi Inc. It is important for me to let you all know that we do not import our cheeses ourselves since we  do not have any cheese quotas. What we import here at Macchi Inc. is the Citterio brand, bottarga and truffles and in the future hopefully we will import more.

Baby spinach salad with strawberries and Grana Padano

This is a perfect light salad with lots of flavour, assemble in a bowl: Baby spinach leaves, sliced strawberry’s and some Grana padano shavings. For this, all you need to add is a little  cracked black pepper, evoo and some balsamic vinegar. There  is no need to add any salt because the parmiggiano brings all the salt you need to the dish. Buon Appetitio! As usual, let me know how you liked it or if you made your own recipe, don’t hesitate to share it with me.
