As I mentioned in my last post, The Elfling and I stormed World Market in search of a birthday present. While there, I couldn't resist a few treats. Nothing really big - a pair of fans for the girls (cherry blossoms, of course!). Till we get to the chocolate at least....but really - I get dark chocolate so it's health food, right?
Ok...so it wasn't all dark chocolate. For years I've tolled a particular restaurant website and on the message board I've read so many accounts of chocolate syrups of yore that for some odd reason I couldn't resist a delighted yelp when I came across a bottle of Bosco. As you can imagine, the first thing I did when I got home was mix up a glass. Oh...my...GOD....it's so freaking good...I don't know why. I tried to compare the ingredient lists between it and Hershey's and would you believe - Hershey's doesn't list their ingredients!
Ah well...whatever it is, Bosco is so good, I bet it'd make even skim milk taste good!
For a lil bit now, I've been promising that I'd make Spaghetti Carbonara and Sunday night I finally did. This isn't a first for me though I think it may have been one of my more sucessful attempts. I used a recipe from allrecipes with minimal changes. For example, I used less onion because E outright hates it and I used Canadian bacon because...well...just cause. I didn't have bacon on hand and it's perhaps a preference. I also reserved a cup of pasta liquid in case things got too dry while I was cooking. I'm not sure it was as creamy as it's supposed to but the girls ate with great gusto.
Served with a lovely salad and a glass of vinho verde it was a lovely meal.
No...I don't know what's up with me and all my linking as of late. I think it's kinda fun, though!
