What could be better than having a birthday dinner with friends? For me, only a home cooked meal with friends on your birthday. Prosecco and C (C—I'm officially giving you the blog name: Risotto) invited fusilli and I to the villa for an extravagant meal with fine wine, fine dining and even finer company.
To start we had pork lard on fresh toasted bread... yeah, I ate that so fast, no time to take pictures. Next, melon wrapped prosciutto and a delicious frittata. It was tough, but I was careful not to fill up, I could see at least three more courses waiting in the wings.
Risotto made an excellent, well... risotto. The incredible colour is from the beets.
Another favorite — Osso bucco. 
I hope I get this right... chocolate peanut butter bacon pie, with candied bacon on top. Insane? Yes. Delicous? If you like choco-peanut-bacon pie... YES! This wins for the most unusual dessert I've ever had.

We had a great time with you guys, I'm so glad I had a chance to make that crazy pie. I didn't know anyone else who would appreciate peanut butter AND bacon together. Except you!
Happy Birthday B!
The dinner looks delicious.
