Carbonara.. Now u see it... Well u dun...

After watching "I am Legend", acting on impulse, my bf and i decided to cook our own dinner tonite. I have been toking abt trying to make the carbonara after seeing how simple it was form Jamie Oliver's show... So out of memory, we went to NTUC supermarket, grabbed a couple of ingredients and head straight home to fire up the stove.

As simple as it looks on tv... within less than an hour, we finish preparing and cooking our bacon and mushroom carbonara... And it taste pretty decent too!! Though i found it a little too eggy... while my partner tot it was too creamy... Basically it was a little rich and i would say it is best served warm. But tt's coming from 2 person who actually preferred tomato based pasta sauce in the 1st place. We just tried carbonara My brothers found it okay... Maybe the portion was a little too much. we cooked for 2 but i think there was enough for 3... regular eaters... Still, it was rather successful, for cooking something without a proper recipe... i din even really know how much of wat to put in... haha...it all by "feeling"...

To accompany the carbonara, we also bot a bottle of Hardy's Chardonnay... It's pretty easy to drink and fruity too... finished the entire bottle in a meal. hehe...

It was only at the end of the satisfying meal that i found out in horror that i forgot to take a picture of my beautiful carbonara.. So as u can see... i can only show u the empty plates and bottle of our little cooking adventure... But i hope in the near future, i can supplement with a picure of my second attempt and i would like to add a grill salmon fillet on top of the pasta... hmm...
