 mortadella and cheese paniniMortadella and Cheese Panini

  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt, preferably goat’s-milk
  • 1 small scallion, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly grated white horseradish (or drained jarred horseradish)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt
  • Eight 3/4-inch-thick slices of peasant bread
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
  • 1/2 pound thinly sliced mortadella
  • 1/2 pound Robiola Bosina cheese, cut into 4 equal slices with the rind, or fresh ricotta

To make these sandwiches, use 6-by-4-inch slices of dense white bread from a peasant loaf to accommodate the hearty filling.

1. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt with the scallion, horseradish and mustard. Season with salt.

2. Heat a panini press or griddle. Brush both sides of each bread slice with oil. Arrange 4 bread slices on a work surface and spread with the horseradish yogurt. Layer the mortadella and Robiola on top and close the sandwiches with the remaining 4 bread slices. Set them on the preheated press or griddle. If using a griddle, top the panini with a large baking sheet and weigh down with heavy cans. Cook the panini over moderate heat until browned and crisp outside: 3 minutes in a press, 3 minutes per side on a griddle. Cut the panini in half and serve hot.

floating-de-icer-100-wattPond De-Icers

Used to keep a “breathing hole” in the ice that covers a garden pond during the winter months. This allows toxic gases, caused by the breakdown of organic waste products in the pond, to escape and oxygen to be replenished. Depending on how many fish are in the pond, the thickness and nature of the ice, and how much debris has accumulated, failing to keep a breathing hole can result in stressed fish, disease and even total “winter kill”. Our de-icers are friendly to both fish and bird. It will keep and area of the pond ice free while providing a lifesaving supply of drinking and bathing water for birds. Just $86.
