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!!

 

Truffle Carpaccio: Macchi Family Serving Suggestions

TRUFFLE & EGG CROSTINI

We have a family country house on lake Massawippi, in the Eastern Townships and it is now the second generation of Macchi boys ( our children, Paolo’s and Mine) making noise in the area.

Growing up, Paolo spent every weekend and holiday in the country with his family, therefor it’s very important for him to do the same with our children since he has such great memories from there.

This past weekend, was the Annual Village Fair , we all went there just like we’ve done every year and Paolo has done at least for the past 25 years!

Every year is the same thing; you have the rides, the games, the petting zoo, the barns with cows and horses, competition of who has grown the largest vegetable and not to forget the horse race, my favorite part!

Paolo Macchi preparing a plate with Parmigiano Reggiano

Hi I’m back and here to stay! Here we are, Monday morning and a whole week a head of us, but since the Canadian thanks giving weekend is coming up it doesn’t feel as depressing as most Mondays do to me.
I have, since I started blogging, been looking forward to talking about this weeks product. It is a product that we all have used or consumed and some just can’t have a pasta plate without it! This product would amongst stone be considered as the diamond, amongst metal it would be considered platinum and amongst the cheeses it is by far ‘the King of Cheeses’, I am talking about – Parmigiano -.

I wanted to give this week a soft start and begin with showing you how we enjoy having this cheese at the Macchi residence!

Macchi Inc.'s Burrata in the Montreal Gazette

Hello everyone!

It’s Saturday morning and Paolo and I are having our morning coffee and finished reading Lesley Chesterman’s article in today’s Montreal Gazette about a tasting she had with Paolo at Restaurant DNA in Montreal, performed by part owner and Executive Chef Derek Dammann.

For the readers that have “been” with me from the beginning, you all know that I started the “blogging” on the Macchi Inc. facebook fan page, not long ago. I then, spoke very briefly about Burrata as my first introduction to our products. Thanks to the huge and positive feedback and everyones comments it made it very easy for me to know what you were all interested in reading about.

Having that said, I would like to thank you all for your support and please continue commenting about our posts and let me know what more it is that you would like to hear about. (more…)
