The melon was perfectly ripe, and the ham was delicious. We ended up eating half of the melon with ham as an appetizer and a couple of hourse later we ate the other half as dessert with port wine and a sprinkling of sugar (melon au porto).
The veal chop that Walt cooked on the barbecue grill was tender and tasty. He seasoned it with thyme and salt and pepper. The pâtes, called coquillettes, were tossed with radish-leaf and parsley pesto, and a good amount of finely gratedParmesan cheese, plus a drizzle of EVOO, as they call it — extra-virgin olive oil.
yummy
ReplyDeleteAhhh, grilling out on the terrace! Summer melon! Good things :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking and delicious sounding lunch!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ken. After taking six Rx’s last night, I’m feeling somewhat better. Four days to go.

Are you taking that new covid pill? A girlfriend just returned from Hawaii and she felt she must have gotten the virus on the plane. She took the new pill and she was able to return to work that same week! Sounds like you have had a quick reduction in symptoms! That's good news.
DeleteI'm liking the sound of that combo! Maybe I'll get some ham and a melon later today for my dinner!
ReplyDeleteI will be catching up here next week. Lewis has had an odd reaction to a new pneumonia vaccine and will be in the hospital for another week. We are hoping he will have a full recovery from an inflammation of his brain. He is getting a series of plasma replacement treatments.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear that, E. Please give Lewis my best wishes for his recovery.
DeleteOh, ouch for Lewis. Best wishes for him and full, fast recovery.
ReplyDeleteTempt him with slices of perfect summer melon. :-)
I think I could use some melon, ham, and later on some port, too! Lovely.
