I have been dying to try this recipe http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=899.0

Today with hubby away was the day. I'd planned to do lots of cooking and some shopping but as is the way with livestock farming the animals decided otherwise and I spent most of the day fencing....  And then the new bull ( in isolation for 30 days) was not eating or drinking. I gave him a change of food and he is eating now and will see tomorrow if we have a bigger problem. Hope not.

So I came  in to an empty house very tired and hungry and decided to put this on.

I like onion so added an onion and chopped with garlic. I also added 1T OOil and cooked 2 1/2 mins 100  while dicing 3 rashers bacon as I didn't know how much is in a tub?
 
chucked everything in and didn't know if MC should be on or off so did a mix of both. 2 mins before end chucked in 2 good handfuls washed baby leaf spinach and a chopped hard boiled egg as I found I had no raw eggs left!
trouble with rural living is lots of cooking is determined by what is available as no shops on the corner, even in the UK. I think mushrooms would be good.
Has anyone tried single cream? (pouring) as I'd like to reduce fat content?

Clean plate, yummy. Enough for my lunch tomorrow too.  I am allergic to Parmesan and cooked cheese so never use it, but often make bechamel take half out and cheese for DH.

So that was my variation on a theme of carbonara. What are your variations?

I am new from the Uk and have been using this forum while waiting to,join.

I need help to find the BEST recipe possible for stamped cookies, please. the stamp says 'homemade'.

Have tried the custard powder ones from here, with cornflour, they were quite good. Then tried Beatties recipe from here and they spread too much and lost the letters. Tasted good though. Think the egg made them spread.

it's fun experimenting and the family get to eat a lot of cookies but some suggestions from the wonderful Bakers on here would be great. Thanks
