My friend Jamie told me she was reading my blog and happened to mention that I don't post very often. I know this is very true and set about thinking why is it that I don't post very often lately. The only thing I came up with was this quote:
Joey: I thought it'd be great. I figured I'd have, like, time alone with my thoughts. But, you know, it turns out I don't have as many thoughts as you'd think.
That's right, Joey from friends. Every once in a while I find myself without stories or words for food I've eaten. Don't get me wrong I am the story girl. The people at work probably shuddered when I started in on a random tale. But, honestly some foods are beyond words.
One particular night, as I was gorging myself with copious amounts of dairy that would make a Frenchman double over, I had no words. I honestly couldn't speak as I was entering a realm of taste that was beyond syllables. All I knew is I had to eat this again and it was so worth the 8 hours of lactose overdose that followed.
These are your ingredients and instructions for one delicious appetizer inspired from Postino Wine Bar in Phoenix.
1 baguette sliced into 1/2 inch slices, drizzled with good olive oil and toasted every so delicately.
Mascarpone cheese evenly spread over your toasted bread.
A nice film of fig preserves over top of your mascarpone cheese.
1 thin slice of prosciutto piled right on top like a rumpled blanket.
Drizzle another bit of your olive oil right over the top and sprinkle just a hint of fresh black pepper over the top.
Now take a bite -
sssshhhh
Don't worry, you don't have to say anything. I know.
Just enjoy the silence.

Ashley and I just went to Postino today after work. We both love the Ricotta Fig and Pistachio bruschetta the most, but there are so many good ones.
Jt, I love that one too. It's nice and sweet.
