PUCCI GALORE

Your wife is part Italian and part saint to be married to you she would need to be. I always wonder what would have happened if my Mother had not twigged what your game was given you the heave-ho! So you ran off to Argentina and waited for me to grow up. Anyway that is history.

Now - I know Alitalia is going down the pan but I would love to know what this GUCCI Glamour with whom you appear to be well acquainted will serve you. If you muddled your post up - and we are patient about this - and meant your wife - even though you split your infinitive again and we are in a war of recipes.

I cook fresh spaghetti, I beat two eggs, add Creme Fraiche to the eggs, freshly milled black pepper. I add 100gm of cooked pancetta (the most delicious baconon the planet) freshly grated pecorino romani and pour that over the pasta. I turn the pasta over a low flame until the sauce is not but not cooked

Voila - Pasta a la Carbonnara dalla Regina dei Celli.

My pasta is not home made it is shop bought from Peck in Milan and a dear little shop in BLQ. I get to fly over and back the same day and I am given Champagne.

So

GAME, SET, AND MATCH TO LA BELLISSIMA PUCCI della BRITISH AIRWAYS

What - apart from your Phil Envy has this to do with him eating chicken en route to CAI??

HIDDY

Oh dear.

I know your game. What happened to the PM you said you were sending?

Hiddy,the beauty of your sauce recipe is that you can get home late, open a pack of (quality) shop-bought pasta and grab the other ingredients from the pantry and have a wonderful meal prepared in the time it takes the pasta to cook. The version I know also has a chilli pepper added to the oil and removed before serving, and the recipe actually specifies dried pasta in preference to home made - you end up with gourmet fast food.

Shop bought pasta has its place in any well stocked kitchen.

HIDDY

Of course you are correct James S - After all, even Italians don't eat home made pasta every day.

I just wanted to shut her up.

If you weren´t HM PUCCI yourself, I can certify this recipy to be worth a PUCCI Culinaire all by itself

HIDDY

Don't be fooled - She read it all off the label you know.

With culinary skills like this, shouldn't it be PUCCINI GALORE?

PUCCI GALORE

Darling with charm skills like yours - shouldn't you and shouldn't pcflier213 both be Muccinis Nouveaux!

If you accept please update your profiles and send a PM saying "Ya Boo Sucks!" to you to HIDDY. You should also let Moomba know - but we say nice and polite things to him as he is a very nice, very polite person.

As to HIDDY - my husband has been trying to shut me up for the last 20+years - if you think that you can achieve that with a pasta challenge that you know you cannot win - you are much mistaken.

Now this Chicken has to fly and fry some passengers.

Phil the Flyer

Yeah, and I bet he hand 'Hands of God' as well. I would have thought pork s---ds would have been more up your alley.

macabus

I am truly honored and accept your benevolent offer.

As a Nouveaux Mucci, I will uphold revered traditions and adhere to the sacred code of conduct.

James S

What is the code of conduct? I know flattering Pucci is they key requirement (and she is clearly a fabulous cook)... anything else?
