ALL THREE COULD BE IMPROVED WITH GARLIC, FISH PASTE, AND MINCED SCALLION

There is more going on in the world than Tiger Woods' car wreck or Lawrence Ferlinghetti dying. Alas, the news feeds are quite unaware of that. I am not vested in Tiger Woods, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti's poetry is overrated, especially among intellectuals in San Francisco.
I cannot feel sad about either event. For one thing, I don't give a flying congress about golf. And Mr. Ferlinghetti was old.


CHERRY TOMATOES?!?
---Che brutto!---

A distant third item on the news is the New York food maven who did something "heretical" with Carbonara sauce, and Italians are in an uproar. Let's face it, many sauces NEED garlic and shrimp paste, plus minced scallion added at the end of cooking.
Oh, and go ahead: use bacon.

Extra thick Carbonara sauce: great for hamburgers.

It's totally the breakfast of champions.

Instead of Tiger Woods.

Blue cheese.

Once again: no flying congress about golf. It's an utterly ridiculous game of bougie pretendeurs chasing a little white ball pretending they're athletes, often followed by cocktails away from the masses among equally like-mindless types. And weird togs.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti: great bookstore, dude.
That poetry? Um, whatever.



And chopped green chilies. Seriously.
Cherry tomatoes are good too.
A light bright tang.
