Ayer’s Cliff Fair

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 & 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!

After we got home we gave the kids a bath, fed them and put them to bed.

And then it was our turn to eat =), we had some close friends of ours coming over, opened a bottle of wine and then Paolo was in charge!

Eggs and truffles have always been a match made in heaven!

Here is how Paolo spoiled us with this absolutely delicious snack.

EGG & TRUFFLE CROSTINI

• Simply slice some bread,
• Spread some truffle paste
• Add sliced hard boiled eggs
• Garnish with some truffle carpaccio
• Sprinkle some chives for color and taste.

Buon Appetitio!

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

Paolo’s Parmigiano reggiano plate

This is so simple but yet so good, a perfect snack on a evening when you just want a reason to open up a good bottle of wine.

All you need is to break up a few pieces of parmigiano reggiano and drizzle some balsamic vinegar on top, in this case we used an aged one which I personally would suggest, the sweet vinegar is a nice contrast to the saltiness of the cheese.

Buon Appetito!
