Linguine Carbonara

Toast for breakfast because I knew I had a high calorie dinner to prepare for.

Made some baguettes... used a pâte fermentée and everything, but electric ovens suck.

Then I threw together a Carbonara. This is among the simplest dishes to make that I've ever made. Crisp some bacon at some point before you boil the noodles. Simply boil your noodles (used linguine because we ran out of spaghetti) and just before they're finished, in a bowl, whisk in 1 cup of cream, 2 eggs, and some salt and pepper. Then you can add some parmesan cheese to the mixture, or add it to the plates. Drain the noodles, but be quick, you want them tossed in the cream as hot as possible. Once the noodles are coated, plate. No, you don't cook the sauce. The hot noodles are enough to kind of congeal things and make it stick. Add bacon on top (and anything else you want; I added some diced tomatoes as well). Quick easy, and classic American-Italian.

The wife and I had some cosmopolitans for a night cap.  Good food evening.
