"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Dad also got this recipe from Jerry, his co-worker at the Headliner Salon in SLC. He use to make it for special occasions and everyone always loved it! He would buy the tortellini and the prosciutto at an Italian deli in SLC (my Mom doesn't remember the name).
