Our neighborhood does this on a big text thread!

Here’s another Manet I adore - A Bar at the Folies-Bergère. Great painting made even better by the Bass beer bottles on the bar!

Occasionally, my sisters and I share on our text thread of photos of works of art we love. I’m a huge fan of Édouard Manet and Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe is one of my favorite paintings of his.

Spaghetti With Carbonara Sauce Recipe This foolproof recipe for silky, guanciale- and cheese-sauced spaghetti carbonara uses a double boiler to prevent egg yolks from curdling.

I use Serious Eats' carbonara recipe, which, if you follow to the letter, will transport you to a Roman piazza.

Whether it's de rigueur or not, tonight I'm whipping up that old Roman favorite - rigatoni carbonara. My sister and a pal are coming by. Easy peasy makes everyone happy. Also looking forward to a chilled dry martini followed by some wine.

Half my FB posts were about food. Is that a thing here?

Thsnks for the compliment!!!

I love, love, love Stanley Spencer. I've been to a tiny museum in Cookham on Thames with loads of his painting!
