A simple dish.....for a simple man

Now I don't usually go to as complex a dish as a macaroni pie. Usually it is much simpler.

A couple of nights ago I made a simple pasta. Pancetta, peas, onions, garlic and oil over a brown rice gluten free pasta. It was delicious.

Simple salute some garlic in olive oil. Add some onions that you carmelize. Then put in the pancetta.
It was nice and fatty so it gave off a lot of delicious grease. Finally add the peas at the end.

Cook up the pasta for six minutes and then add to the pan so it is nice and al dente. Mix it all up and serve with some Pecorino Romano cheese.

Bellisima.

Later for the Grilled Cheese....you need some Il Timpano

Grandma made something similar. We called it macaroni pie. I used to help her when I was a snot nosed kid in grammar school.

I haven't had that in thirty years or more. Maybe forty.



I have to make it when it gets cold out.

For This!

Overheard at Lem's:

Chip Ahoy said...I don't get that sense at all. Not from this poem.

The dead are saying pick up our dispute we died for and continue because even though flowers grow here, if you don't, we won't rest and that means we'll haunt you.*
It's a very good poem. Gave me the shivers.

This is the final version of a moving tribute to the men -- mostly dead -- who fought at The Somme in the summer of 1916. I blogged a preliminary version on the centenary.

It is stunning in concept and well done. Bravo!

OK, this was inspired by Chip's previous post.  Note the very first line and bear in mind that the song is now over 35 years old! The DK's are a special--they managed to piss-off both right-wingers and left-wingers. Band leader Jello Biafra (née Eric Boucher) took on Tipper Gore in the 1990's link, back when Tipper Gore represented the "religious right."

My, how times have changed!

An admirable attempt to paint the song with van Gogh's work.

My 7th grade art teacher had that Don McLean album in the classroom along with one of those boxy portable record players:

I wonder now whether he thought we were little vessels to be filled, or little fires to be kindled.
