Mother's Day Stuffed Tomatoes
"This quick recipe is perfect for impressing a dinner party. It is combination of the goat cheese stuffed tomatoe receipe by Nano2 #64641 and a little love fo' my Iowa-born, ham lovin' madre and grandmadre.
Do not be intimidated by the ingredients. Prosciutto will cost $3.50 at the deli counter - no more than a tank of gas or a mocha. Make sure to ask that they shred it (extra thin slicing) and you'll swear it looks like a pound.
Possible variations: cream cheese for the goat cheese; a 1/8 pound ham & 1/8 pound salami for proscuitto though I have tried neither."

When I'm not stuck in a law book, I'm jogging, playing soccer, cooking, or causing general havoc in the greater Seattle area. I learned to cook because I didn't like the cruddy food some jerk was serving me every night in my bachelor's pad... ooo, wait.. uh, i mean, some dashingly handsome, devilishly charming guy serving me food every night.
