A night off

I had a busy day yesterday, out of the house, with lots of lovely people.  I was talking all day.  I missed Jbird but I was a little bit glad to have the house to myself for a few hours in the evening as he had a gig.  Socialising can be exhausting at times.  

One of the the meals I love making when Jbird's not around is Fettucine Carbonara.  He doesn't love it - I think I may have made it wrong too many times.  If I get distracted, the eggs are likely to scramble or the sauce will be too thick or too runny.  But made properly, it is creamy and delicious.  I believe my new brother-in-law only orders this dish when he eats at his favourite restaurant.

We rarely have cream (or half and half as I used tonight), bacon, and fettucine in our fridge or pantry all at the same time as they're 'b-list' foods, ones I see as luxuries.  Last night, the moons must have been in alignment as they were all there!  I added some fresh tomato and chives for a little interest.  I wonder if I'd live up to my B.I.L's standards?

YumBo.
