Love, love, love soppresatta! This looks truly heavenly, all the better for that good spinach and some great mustard.

I picked up a wasabi mustard at the Farmers Market last Saturday that may just have this written all over it. Truly love your combination!

The daughter and I recently returned from Italy and France, where she was enchanted to find goat cheese in little logs similar to the Laughing Cow rounds we find here. We bought a net bag of them to take off to the Champs Elysées for a standing picnic at the finish of the Tour de France. Your beautiful combination takes me right back there. I've got a 3-day baguette going to make it this weekend. Thank you so much!
