What do you feel?

This pendant was given to me by a shaman artist when I was about 17 years old.
It happened like this.
Me and my parents where walking on a alternative market where different stalls where offering their services.
There was the tarot reading, Reiki etc etc.
There was also this little stall full with beautiful jewelry made by a shaman artist. And when I saw this
pendant I really wanted to have it, but no way I could afford it. They where asking about 150 guilders for it, which for a 17 year old is a lot of money. The artist saw that I really liked it, and asked if I wanted to hold it. I said yes. She told me to keep it in between my hands. A little later she asked me:” What do you feel?”

I told her I felt an energy coming from the bottom of my belly going up.

She was surprised and happy I could feel the energy from the pendant and she gave it to me as a gift.

I wore it for a few years and then I took it off, I can’t even remember why.The other day I found it again and felt that I should wear it again. So I cleaned it and now it is hanging around my neck once again reinforcing my inner strength.

Carbonara

Some people use spaghetti or bucatini.
I do prefer short, raw pasta that collects the bacon pieces and the egg better.

This recipe is very simple, but timing is essential when making it.

Start by frying some bacon in olive oil. Don’t make it burned. Just cook it for a couple of minutes: it only needs to get pink and cooked, it does not have to be crisp at this point. So stop the fire and take the pan away not to make it burn.

Also, while doing the bacon this way start with letting the water boil and cooking the pasta.

At the same time prepare a couple of eggs like if you would do an omelette – it is not necessary to mix it very throughly – it is fine if the white and the yellow part of the egg are not mixed completely:

You can add a bit of salt and pepper to it.

At the same time, grate some parmesan cheese:

When the pasta is nearly cooked (half a minute before you think it’s gonna be “al dente”), turn the fire back on softly under the bacon, so the oil gets warm again. As soon as the pasta is “al dente” dump it quickly with the bacon and the oil, start mixing it so the oil makes it all aroound the pieces of pasta like a glue. Also dump the egg in the pan at this point. Just keep the fire low and keep mixing.

Mix the parmesan cheese too:

Just keep stiring, the egg needs to go everywhere and the past has to absorbe it a bit. keep stiring, don’t let it be stuck to the pan or form blobs.

Making Carbonara #6

Add freshly grated black pepper:

Serve and eat while it’s warm!
Enjoy :-)
