By the time I get finished cooking, I’m always too hungry to remember to get a picture. I tend to remember it when I am looking down at a half eaten dinner. <\/p>\n
The menfolk have obviously decided that if they want anything other than a sandwich, they are going to have to start doing the cooking themselves. I’m hoping though that the opening of our local farmer’s market this coming saturday will help to bring back my desire to cook and create. <\/p>\n
The sweet boyfriend came over on saturday night and cooked for me. We tried out a recipe he’d seen on television that morning which had piqued his interest. Of course, we adjusted it slightly, but not much.<\/p>\n
Spaghetti alla Carbonara<\/em><\/strong> Boil the spaghetti in salted water. While that is going on fry the bacon and garlic until the bacon is crispy, drain on paper towels. In a large bowl mix eggs, half & half, and parmesan. Scoop hot drained pasta into egg mixture and toss about. Toss in bacon\/garlic bits and a goodly amount of pepper. <\/p>\n *the original recipe called for 8 oz, he said that they used a pound on the show. I bought a package of center cut and we used whatever was in the package, I didn’t check the weight.<\/p>\n Served it up with a caesar salad and garlic toast. Scrumptious and simple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By the time I get finished cooking, I’m always too hungry to remember to get a picture.
