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.
