Mozarella, pesto and prosciutto sandwich
It’s funny how autumn seems to have sneaked up on us without us being here. When we left the country only four weeks ago it was still middle of summer. Bright and hard light, but now that we’ve come back the light is all of a sudden so much softer and has that autumn quality to it. What is it really that makes you realize that autumn is upon us? What is it exactly in the light that changes? Yes, the sun is going lower in the sky, but I don’t think that is the only thing that really changes, is it? It feels different, it smells different too!
I love autumn; I truly do. I love autumn storms and rain and cold weather and snuggling up on the couch indoors… 
Ok, after a few weeks of bad weather I do long for sunshine again, don’t get me wrong, but I am truly an “all-weather” girl. And an “all seasons” girl too. Although, maybe they could make the seasons a little shorter. Three months is really too long for bad weather, so maybe we should have seasons that last – mmm – let’s say 1,5 to 2 months max. O, we could have a slightly longer summer, that’s no problem, but for the colder seasons 1,5 months would be sufficient. And while we’re on the subject; can I then also please have a real winter? The ones where you have ice and snow and not just boring rain and grey skies? (because that I do NOT like!)
O well, I guess so much for wistful thinking…
I have nothing fancy for you today, just a little snack to enjoy with delicious ingredients. A good piece of bread, some homemade pesto on top, add some chunks of buffalo mozarella and top with a slice of prosciutto ham and a bit of basil. Now that is a good lunch anytime of the year!

I like your simple lunch Simone! As for the weather…move here to Australia! LOL! It’s mostly warm all year round and our winters are nowhere near as cold as the European ones!…
Ive been dreaming of Autumn since it last left…my favorite season of all! I too have said ITS ARRIVED without it even having a glimpse of arriving here in the South. I’m eating and decorating that way though. This is the perfect lunch!!! YUM!
I love your photo, I could almost taste the crusty bread and the salty prosciutto..
This is such a beautiful simple lunch. I am so jealous of people that get to experience a true fall, it is our hottest time of the year here.
Who can resist some good prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella!
That is the kind of bite my husband thrives on. He can’t get enough mozzarella and basil.
We ran away from the Northern US & snow (tired of staying home & shovelling) to the south. now we miss the snow so much esp. during the christmas time.
Noting like fresh bread with home made pesto:-)
[...] kind of lunch, although obviously you can spice any sandwich up to looks something like this or this… Just let your imagination run wild. But having pasta for lunch; I don’t know… it [...]
