From time to time I am disappointed. Usually in myself, but substandard ingredients defy even accomplished cooks. Is that feta on the salad? 

Spinach salad with goat cheese, walnuts and cranberries with a raspberry vinaigrette.

I'm putting some of this on myself. They had chopped pancetta and sliced pancetta - same company. The sliced looked meatier, but I've always gotten the chopped so that's what I did despite the clues. Dang it. 

I actually like the company's stuff and their story. It's La Quercia, a company in Iowa that is trying to do Italian cured meats in America on a higher level.

I think I'm old enough that people don't ask any more. Daughter and SIL moved recently and I didn't even get a call!!

That might not be a good thing. 😆

Nah, it was a great thing! They got help in other ways.

Couple thing recently.   First go at making Burnt Ends, used lean stew meat, made some broccoli cheese snacks,  (you really gotta appreciate broccoli taste and texture,  but they are good), and calzone/strombolli/pizza pocket things.   I forgot cheese on the first batch and I forgot to vent the second batch.   Used refrigerated rolled pizza dough, stretched it out to fit a large square air bake cookie sheet, cut them in 4 squares stuffed to each person'srequest of toppings.
