Re: SPAGEHETTI WITH BACON AND CREAM SAUCE

Hi Martin....

Boy, you hit the nail on the head..... this is one of my very
favorites!!

One of my favorite stories from a trip to Italy was when I was given a huge platter of Carbonara while waiting for the course I ordered....they felt bad for me as what I ordered wasn't ready when the rest of the table got their plates, and they brought this huge platter, not a plate!. I only ate a few bites, knowing that four courses on equally large platters was forthcoming, and they came over with forks and made me take huge bites!! It was delish! But still to come was a mixed grill, a salad, a pasta, and dessert!  After the antipasto, and wine and breads, of course!! Guess they thought I wasn't plump enough!!!  

And, in the south, we had dinner one nite at our hotel (and again,
was 'force fed' as they thought I didn't do justice to my dinner, and the next day went sightseeing, and were not hungry enough to go to the dining room....they called us around 9:30 to see if we were coming to dinner!!!!!  

Thank you for making me rekindle great memories!!

Have a wonderful day...and thank you for your wonderful newsletter!

Hugs,

Vicki
