When I began writing this blog, I wanted it to change the way I was leading life. If I needed to write everyday, obviously I would need something interesting to write about. In regards to that point, today was an Epic Fail. In my defense it has been raining since I woke up this morning and rain can make anyone feel like curling up into a ball and doing nothing.
The excitement of my day consisted of a "Layover/No Reservations" marathon followed by a hot shower and internet surfing. Way to be exciting, I know! However, I did manage to make a sorta cool, sorta delicious brunch-like item.
As a connoisieur of all things foodie, I love "Best Thing I Ever Ate", if for no other reason than to steal cooking ideas. A few weeks ago Susan Feniger was on talking about this breakfast scrambled egg-pasta thing she loves. For some reason, that sounded delicious to me so I tried it out. I whisked up some eggs with parsley, garlic, oregano, and parmesan then boiled some pasta. When the pasta was done I dropped it into the raw eggs and threw the whole thing in a pan with some more parmesan for good measure. The end-result was sort of a version of Pasta Carbonara, and I must say it was pretty good. The eggs make a sauce for the pasta and everything is better with cheese. I probably would have added some bacon too, if I had any. (Remember it was raining and leaving the house was so out of the question.) Feniger's version had fresh pasta, fresh parmesan, and fresh herbs. I'm sure even the eggs were picked from the farm that morning, so her's was probably better. But for a quick carb overload on a lazy Sunday, I couldn't have asked for more.
