italian cheese with meat

Possibly the least inspired recipe title ever, this was one of the best cheese fondues I have ever tasted, and was the appetizer for Greta Barbour's July 2008 Supper Club. The service for the appetizer included spearing a slice of green apple, wrapping a piece of proscuitto around it, spearing on a piece of salami, then a square of baguette, and dipping the entire thing into the fondue. It was a big bite, but was delicious. I guess it will teach me not to judge a recipe by its title.

The rest of the meal was also excellent, and I should post the complete menu, but GB didn't hand out the recipes yet, and I may have had a little too much sangria to remember everything. I know there was a tasty pasta salad, a beautiful cucumber tower salad, and key lime pie for dessert.

Better than all of that, though, and even though we were a couple of members short, last night's Supper Club was host to one of the more intimate, personal, and frank conversations I remember having with the girls since we got the club together in August of 2006. I won't go into the details here, because I want to get this first post up and talk to everyone a little more about how we want this blog to work.

The appetizer was delicious and really could have carried the night, but GB outdid herself by following it with an excellent dinner - don't forget the yummy yellow squash with goat cheese and cracked black pepper - I think it was either baked or broiled.....which was it GB? And the White Sangria? so summer-y and so good.
