Sounds yummy! I've never tried making carbonara at home.

The carbonara recipe in the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook is pretty decent. They have you add the egg up front, which isn't technically proper, but works well enough. The trick is to keep the heat down so you don't "break" the egg.

Iffen you don't break the egg, how do you get it out of the shell?

The idea is you need the pasta hot enough to cook the egg when tossing. If you prefer, blend the egg with the cream, add it to the pasta and toss over a low heat for a minute or two until cooked. Not quite the same, but yummy nevertheless.

A little sticky, but that's from extra parmigiano reggiano.

So, we stopped by Wendy's for dinner and witnessed a concoction of bizarre-ness. The capper was this: some guy ordered the Baconator... but he requested that there be no burger and no bacon.

That'd be just an Ator.

I know!

BTW: We had Pancakes with Whipped Butter and Maple syrup, Eggs & Bacon for lunch at the team farewell today.

Oh dear, was it your last day today?

Not Afraid · 02-13-2009, 12:13 AM

Hmmm, should this go on the Bacon thread or the Cute Animals thread? Sadly, bacon wins.

No, one of my colleagues. Looks like we get three send-offs in total !

Truly adorable & obviously very smart. What will happen when he isn't so tiny anymore? Even so-called miniature pigs can be close to 100 lbs. Won't fit very well in the house anymore after getting that big. Hope his humans have thought this out & are prepared to care for him properly.

short answer: Bacon.
