Guess what Dan bought me (us) for my birthday?????

| Super duper slicing machine! |
It's something we've been thinking about buying for YEARS...we love salami and sliced meat and usually buy it ready sliced, but there's nothing quite like freshly sliced - and of course they keep much longer as the whole product than the sliced version.
Earlier on in the year, we asked Zio Vanni to see if he could get us a Parma ham when he came over in April, and he actually brought us a 1/4 ham - and then refused payment. We love him!!!!!!
So, it's taken us until now to get the slicer so that we could do it justice! Parma ham cut thickly is disgusting! It *has* to be paper thin! So, last night we broke out the slicer, and cut the seal on the ham!

| Close up - YUM! |
It's going to take a little while for us to create that smooth edge you need to get whole strips, but we definitely got as far as 2 thin strips - which (both) tasted great!!!
 |
| How professional?!?!?!?! |
This is what the finished product looked like.

| Tasted as good as it looked! |
