I'll have you know that I have homemade meatballs in my arsenal. They are frozen -- which is going to really hurt when they hit you from ten paces.

Please, let's not hurt any meatballs here fellas. They never hurt anyone.

You've got a lot of nerve interrupting our little chat. C'mon CD, I've got some sausage in the freezer. Let's whack 'im.

Just look at his avatar. His mouth is open, obviously saying something, but his paws are at his side. On the other hand, I can't even type this without waving my hands in front of the monitor.

He even said that the braciole was better the next day, when it wasn't fresh.

My balls can take down your sausage any day of the week.

Bigga-byta-mia, I love the layering of flavours in your entry. I'm a huge fan of carmelization and hearing your beef and vegetables singing themselves sweetly to brown goodness made me drool. With melted cheese on garlic bread, too! Mmmmm.

I just realized that Gore wants to whack bigabyte with his sausage, not me. I'm cool with that, but I'd rather not join him. NTTAWWT

I'm a bit disappointed in Bigabyte's entry. I expected a Baker would've made some Cannolis for an Italian TD.

bigabyte · 02-02-2013, 12:31 PM

Truth be told, I had bigger plans for the sandwich, but a number of factors prevented me from being able to invest the time to prepare the sandwich the way I wanted.

The original plan was to take the Beef Ragu on the Garlic Bread (as pictured), but then top it with a Gorgonzola Sauce, and place some Roasted Red Pepper, Carmelized Onion and Sauteed Mushrooms on top of that, and then sprinkle on some fried Pancetta pieces and a light drizzle of Balsamic glaze.

Sadly, I couldn't get to the Carmelized Onions later in the afternoon, or for that matter I wouldn't have had the time to do any of the remaining cooking steps later on to pull that off. Heck, I couldn't even find the time to bust out a camera and tripod for the final shots!

Oh, the joys of a house full of rugrats and mongreloid animals!

Oh well, even with just the Provolone, it was a great meal. The boys were raving about it. My wife didn't get to try any as she had to leave, her loss!

Al Czervik · 02-02-2013, 12:31 PM

I take off for a couple days and this looks like it's turning into the Italian Dustup...

bigabyte · 02-02-2013, 12:39 PM

Oh, and one of the dogs dug his face into the pan of Beef Ragu while we were eating. I guess it was technically my mistake for leaving it on the cart in the kitchen, which is low enough that he can do that.

I was pissed. But, I guess it's my fault and I can't blame him. Although he sure got an earful last night!

Agreed... I'd much rather see sweater kittens dusted up with ragu than balls and sausages.

Wow, and I thought CD was just going to pelt you with canned meatballs.
