Prosciutto, Nectarine, and Fontina Panini
"The rosemary in the focaccia is what makes this sandwich special. Do yourself a favor, if you cannot get the bread, use whatever you have, but add some fresh chopped rosemary in the sandwich, you will not be sorry! The idea for this recipe comes from Yahoo! Shine. Sandwich is still pretty good room temperature, but does heat fairly well, so is a good candidate to take to work or lunch!"

Great flavors! This was a huge hit with my family. Substituted focaccia for a rustic rosemary italian bread and it worked well.

<p>We may live without conscience and live without heart;</p>
<p>We may live without friends; we may live without books,</p>
<p>But civilized man cannot live without cooks.</p>

<p>He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving?</p>
<p>He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving?</p>
<p>He may live without love -- what is passion but pining?</p>
<p>But where is the man that can live without dining?</p>

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
