Ptomaine Wednesday- Thursday edition

I did not cook on Wednesday, because I was home for all of about 20 minutes. I did try a new recipe tonight, from Rachael Ray-Spaghetti a la Carbonara, which I figured my family would like because it's bacon and egg pasta. I was right.

This 30 minute meal takes all of about 15 minutes, and it makes the house smell fantastic. We all wished I had made more. Here is the recipe, you should try it.

The coolest thing about tonight's dinner was that I got to use my new cookbook holder that I received in a blind gift exchange. I think this may be the best kitchen gadget, ever. When I opened the box and saw that it was just fairly thin wire, I doubted it could support heavy cookbooks, or worse, floppy paperbacks- but it does.
