Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it.

Carmina's New Version Bacon Carbonara Recipe

Someone once informed me that they don't add any cream or milk in their bacon carbonara. I decided to try what I had in my kitchen. Carmina's New Version Bacon Carbonara Recipe Ingredients: Cooked Bacon (chopped up) Any type of pasta noodles (drained and cooked) Any cheese (shredded) Any brand (butter) 4 Pieces of Eggs (scrambled) Black Pepper to taste Salt to taste Cooking Instructions: Cook the pasta noodles while it was in boiling water being cooked. I went ahead and started scrambling four pieces of eggs in a bowl using a fork.  I had sprinkled some black pepper and salt to the eggs. The pasta noodles were already drained and cooked place it in a container began transferring the eggs, butter and shredded cheese together.  I add the chopped-up bacon mixing it together. It was very easy to those who didn't have that many ingredients in their home. NOT SPONSORED. Subscribe @ Carmina Lifestyle YouTube Channel  a place to look, discover and share.
