p is for prosciutto

pork and i have a strange relationship. i'm really quite ambivalent about it. (truth be told, i have no idea what it thinks of me.) bacon and pork chops are fantastic, but the ham+melon thing makes no sense to me, and pancetta is odd in more ways than one.

despite all that, i'd heard such goooood things about prosciutto that i decided to give it a try by making up some super sandwiches: two slices of swiss, one thin slice of prosciutto wrapped around three spears of asparagus, and a squeeze or two of honey mustard. arrange on pre-toasted multigrain bread, and broil in the oven until the cheese melts.

you'll be tempted to just stare, basking in its beauty and aroma... but please don't forget to eat it!
