Spaghetti Carbonara

Spaghetti Carbonara happens to be my most favorite pasta dish. It is actually my only favorite pasta dish. Many years ago I ate the best Spaghetti Carbonara ever in a fabulous chateau-like hotel in the South of France, and then kept trying to make it taste just like it did on a cold March night. I've recently been quite successful as a result of watching a french chef tackle this dish. So, long story short, we had spaghetti carbonara on Friday night to kick off the weekend and I was quite happy to have Kate declaim that it was a favorite dish of hers. Who knew! Especially she has just removed hot dogs, peanut butter and chicken soup with meatballs from her list of approved foods.

Saturday after soccer she went off to a bar mitzvah in Tribecca. Luckily we had dinner with friends who drive Kate to her bar mitzvah and then even luckier were able to pick her up when the party was breaking up. That was lucky because our Cinderella lost her shoes and came padding down the street barefoot. We heard this morning that the shoes had been found!
