    I must add that I save all my bacon grease/fat and pour it into a ramekin (little container) and keep it in fridge for stuff like cooking eggs or doing steak on my cast iron skillet ...

    carbonara ... delicious shit.

    any particular recipe you used?

    Pretty much just made it up on the fly:

    2 eggs and 4 extra egg yolks
    Freshly grated parmesan cheese, like a cup, probably more though. I add a ton of it at the end when I’m mixing everything.
    Freshly chopped garlic, as much as you can handle. I like a lot. Throw it in the pan at the last minute as the bacon finishes cooking. Don’t burn it.
    8 pieces of thick cut bacon, chopped into quarter inch pieces, don’t over cook. Don’t want super crispy bacon.
    Shit load of parsley finely chopped. This and the parmesan add a great herbal/earthy flavor profile.
    Red pepper flakes. More than you think you’ll need. The heat balances out the other flavor components. Goes great with the white wine too.
    White wine. Just use something cheap. I used a nice bottle, which is pretty wasteful for cooking. Adds great flavor though.
    Extra virgin olive oil to augment the bacon fat as needed (dump in all the bacon grease, don’t be a bitch). I only needed a touch.
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Linguine noodles

    You could sub/add lemon juice with the white wine for acidity. I just didn’t have any on hand. You’re gonna want the white wine to drink with this meal anyways.

    Holy shit.

    I'm hoping to bonk a coho tomorrow and grill that fucker up for the game. I'm thinking your fud sounds a bit better than that. And I could get up later.

    Hmm.

    Salmon is my favorite food. I like this pasta but it doesn’t compare to fresh seafood.

    I could survive happily for a good long while on salmon and red cherries.
