High School Reunion - Class 1998

I saw one of my best girl friend from high school and told me that we will be having our 1st Reunion come April 12. It's been 10 years since we parted ways and it's exciting to see them all again. Things are being prepared and committees have been organized to handle the event. Aside from catching up, we look forward to finding out what became of our dreams and of us. Memories, good or bad will surely haunt us back and the camaraderie will surely be nostalgic!
Although we may not be complete on the marked date, surely everyone will be remembered. I will surely write something about it when the day comes.

My First Carbonara

Making my first Carbonara was a fun experience. While I was idly looking around the grocery store, I found this handy Carbonara sachet that promised me to be able to do an easy time cooking my first one, and it sure did. I was so excited when I had my day off and I immediately started cooking the pasta. While at it, I chopped bacon and ham and grated (cheddar) cheese. Although the recipe specified to use parmesan, I chose cheddar, for obvious reasons that I cant afford the former, lol. Anyway, all this time I was not sure if I'm doing the right thing. I kept on looking at the recipe to make sure I'm doing things correctly. Finally, after about 30 minutes or so, I had a taste of my very first Carbonara. And I have to say, it wasn't bad. Although the sauce was so rich because of the cream, it wasn't bad after all. I called my best girlfriend to judge my cooking and it passed by her standards. The best thing was, my father and brother loved it! We didn't have to keep leftovers for this because they kept on coming back for another serving. The same could not be said for my mother though, she's not much of a big pasta eater anyway. But coming from her, it passed her standards!
