Hang tight!
Recipe by Chef John
"Spaghetti alla carbonara's creamy sauce is simply a thin egg and cheese custard, spiked with pork and black pepper. Try to find pancetta or guanciale (pork cheek cured like pancetta) for a really authentic taste!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Save money at local stores when ingredients are on sale!
Watch video tips and tricks
4 ounces
guanciale, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 tablespoon
olive oil
1 teaspoon
ground black pepper, or to taste
3 tablespoons
grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
3 tablespoons
grated Pecorino Romano cheese
6 ounces
1 cup
reserved pasta water
When I make carbonara, I always add about a cup of chopped yellow onion to the bacon as it fries. That combination is delicious. I also use chicken broth instead of pasta water, as it adds more flavor, and only add the cheese at the end, along with about 1/2 cup of chopped fresh parsley.
I have never made this before and I think I made a big mistake by upping the servings to 8. There was waaay too much pasta to stir as instructed. Definately don't try to up the servings so much as I did! The people I made it for enjoyed it, but personally I wish I would have stuck with the actual recipe amt.
108 Ratings
Surprisingly, I've never had spaghetti alla carbonara before. So, I don't have anything to compare this to. I know where I can buy pancetta at but it was too far away and I was feeling lazy. So, I used thick bacon. I, like chef John in the video, used whole wheat spaghetti. I enjoyed this simple dish even though I messed up a little and my cream curdled a bit. I didn't lower my heat as low as I should have and I didn't constantly stir. So, do as Chef John said!!! :o)
Very easy, simple ingredients, great to see the video also. I added a little diced onion with the bacon and seared cubed chicken tenderloins with the pasta; it tasted just like a nearby restaurant's carbonara. Wasn't too sure about adding the pasta water, but it was a great tip; made the sauce just the right consistency! Perfect amount for two people. Thanks for the recipe!
Spaghetti alla Carbonara is not difficult to make and requires just a few simple, but standard, required ingredients. It really does not vary much from one recipe to the next. This recipe is a fundamental, basic reference recipe. I find it a little easier to mix the (room temperature) egg and cheese in a bowl and then add the cooked pasta to that mixture (rather than the other way around). I stir in the cooked meat, be it guanciale, pancetta or bacon, at the end. Add a little of the pasta cooking water if the sauce seems a little dry – the dish should be creamy, but not swimming in sauce. I just returned from Italy, where I was lucky enough to enjoy this pasta dish with guanciale, which comes from the jowls of the pig. I admit it sounded unappealing when I first tried it years ago, but only because it was unfamiliar. It is the best and by comparison neither pancetta nor bacon measure up. Unfortunately, it is hard to find here in the states. In its absence I've used pancetta, as I did tonight, other times bacon, and I have to say that if I can't have this with guanciale I prefer bacon over the pancetta. I found this recipe a little heavy on the cheese for my taste, so I backed off on it by about one-third. Nothing innovative about this recipe – but because this is a classic dish, it shouldn't be.
I made some changes to it. added garlic to the bacon and a little bit of white wine. Little Cilantro on top. Came out great! Love this recipe!!!
I'm a cooking novice so I was intimidated at first. However, the video and instructions help more than you'll know. I was nervous about the sauce and about the whole prep, but it was really easy to make and beautiful to look at. I served it with some steamed broccoli and it was a hit. The only thing I did different was that I used thick-cut bacon since I'm on a college budget, but I thought it turned out really well. Apparently so did my family.
Okay...this is very easy. I add alter mine, as reviewing other comments, added a medium onion diced and 3-4 minced garlic gloves, and used non-smoked bacon. I did just used freshly grated parmigian cheese. I also doubled the recipe, I would not in the future double the water... It turned out creamy and yummy... please note... do NOT skimp on the ground black pepper... the result is fantastic as is!!! I can see using leftover chicken instead of the bacon, or even left over steak... I will definitely be making this again!!!

|Attention Skiers and Riders: 6 to 12 Inches On The Way
Weather radar 8:30 pm Tuesday, Jan 6.
In technical meteorological terms, the radar picture above shows a "big honkin' storm" that is bearing down on Vermont ski areas. It starts tonight and goes through Thursday.
When it is all said and done, we will get six to twelve inches of snow according to local meteorologist Roger Hill of Weathering Heights Forecasting. He is consistently the most accurate of weather forecasters in this area.
Roger is also calling for some sleet during the storm: "potentially moderate to significant snowfall northern 2/5ths of state, and 'sleety snow middle part of state...to glazing, icy travel southeastern 1/4 of state' all going back to lighter periods of snow before exiting Thursday."
Check your favorite ski resort's web site for trail reports this Thursday and be ready to jump in the car to head for Vermont. It looks like Saturday should be a very good ski and ride day on fresh snow. Temps will be in the teens this weekend so pack your warmest gear.

Flying Yankee
Glen, NH
Ph: (603) 745-FYRG
On February 9, 1935, at the height of the Great Depression, a new train arrived in New England to lift people's spirits and take train travel in a whole new direction.
It was the Flying Yankee, one of only three articulated streamliners of its type ever built. It operated for 22 years running between Portland and Boston six days a week, with a "commute" time of only 51 minutes.
After 40 years of inactivity, this icon of American ingenuity and railroad history was lovingly restored after being discovered in a Massachusetts railyard by New Hampshire businessman Robert Morrell. The restoration took place at the shops of the Claremont Concord Railroad while spectators looked on.
Today, the Yankee can be found parked parallel to the rails on the south side of the parking lot at the Hobo Railroad Station in Lincoln.

Like all prints in photographer Rob Arra's Everlasting Images series, every detail is in perfect focus, and as you pan across the image you feel like you are actually there. The joy of fans and players flows throughout the image, making this a constant reminder of the greatest moment in Arizona professional sports history! For fans of the Diamondbacks, and for those who fondly recall the greatest World Series in recent memory, this item belongs in a nice frame in a prominent place on your wall.

Wetlands Preserved: The Story of an Activist Rock Club
Wetlands, for many years, evokes a spirit, a community, an ethos. People still rave about the time they first encountered Dave Matthews Band, Blues Traveler, Phish or Pearl Jam at the legendary New York City rock club. Others never visited, but have seen the Signature wetlands bus in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, or have listened to the celebrated live recordings that originated from the club's intimate stage. Still others participated in the Wetlands' working groups for social and environmental advocacy and remain tethered to its influential Activism Center.

If you don't have them, you can get these "canvas" sleeves to use with a t-shirt or other garment for extra protection. They are nice if you rest one arm on the welding table for support. They are about $10 at your local welding shop.
Don't forget to increase the darkness of your lens as you increase amperage of your welds.
Hi-freq. TIG will degrade cotton (as will MIG to a certain extent) and may not adequately protect you from the arc rays produced during welding. (ie: sunburn) But ANY skin protection is better than no protection!
True story: a cig. smoking friend of mine was welding when his jeans started smoldering from a bit of slag. After a bit of dancing and prancing to put the fire out, he felt he needed a cigarette. That is when we noticed the "almost" that fortunately never was. The bit of slag that caused the fire had also melted into his BIC lighter! One can only think of the catastophy that could of happened! The moral to this story is to not leave flammable items in your pockets unless you want your nuggets blown off and/or hair singed (if you don't have nuggets)(or worse)...

I'm not sure of this but I think Osha prohibits cigaret lighter in the welding area and it could result in a fine. (heard it from someone who is not an athority of any kind).To all who contribute to this board.
My sincere thanks , Pete.

i have a nasty scar on my chest [just below left peck] from falling hot slag...
i was doing some overhead welding at work on dirty rusty locomotive carbody where i needed to weld a threaded insert in a channel to allow the roof sections to be secured [home made insert by using a 3/4" flat washer and pressing in a 1/2" nut and tacking it in place and clipping the washer to make it oval to slip in the channel] and it was rustyer than i thought it was and it was in a position where i couldn't really reach [could only burn about 4" of the rod before i couldn't reach] and well, the rusty metal gave way and a big marble sized molten glob dropped down on me.. i was wearing a jacket, but it wasn't buttoned tight around my neck as i couldn't move freely with it buttoned so high, but it hit my neck below my ear [right where the mask ended ] and rolled down my neck, down under my jacket and tee shirt, and i reacted by holding the slag where it made the burn just below my left peck so i had time to untuck my tee shirt from my pants... yeah it left a very nasty burn [2nd degree i guess - still felt pain in the area] but i'd rather have a burn there than have that burn below the belt line
i still hate overhead welding with the stickNick Leinonen
Overhead and Bic lighters
Overhead is never pleasent . Back when I smoked , I had been told that you shouldn't carry a Bic lighter when welding . I thought yeah right , until one of the fitters working with us in the fab shop left his welding jacket hang on the back of a chair close to a positioner ,where we were welding . While grinding one of the fill passes his jacket caught fire and the cheap butane lighter blew up. Scared the dog dodo out of the welder and me . That night after work I went and bought a Zippo . Better lighter and American made in Bradford , Pa.

Safety first
I don't know about the rest of you - I can't find or create enough welding projects! There is one thing I always keep in mind - I was born with a certain numbr of extermities - ears, eyes, fingers, toes, etc and they don't grow back.
I never fried my skin doing my mig projects. I had some very crusty peelings after my first TIG welding poject...
I'm covered from head to toe now before I fire up the machines...
Safety , Number One Job.
All of the Mechanical Contractors I have worked for have a safety meeting after lunch on Thursday or Friday , most of them use a Commerical program covering a certian aspect of safety , like proper tool maintence , electrical cord safety and inspection , etc. It can be a pain in the butt to stand there and listen to the foreman read the weekly message but it does remind you to work in a safe manner , and if you see something that is not safe to notify him about it and he can get it taken care of . At home in your own shop , you are the worker the foreman and the owner of the company , so you are the only one you can blame for allowing an unsafe condition to exist . In another post I asked CamaroZach if he had welding stands , and if he didn't if he would like some plans . He got back to me and I emailed him the plans , simple to build , not cheap and flimsy , and very adjustable . I was concerned in what he was using to support his project , I have seen and read in the newspaper about people using cement blocks and other jury rigged stands who sadly are no longer with us . I admit the are times when proper blocking and cribbing are the only way . But you use wood not cement blocks . So be careful out there and remember the goal for the day is to leave work with all your fingers , toes , and your most important thing your eyesight , at work or at home Be Safe . Dan . P.S. If you want a set of plans PM me with your email address .

Thanks for sharing your experiences with me. You guys are right, all of the TV shows show welding being done with little thought about the example they are setting for people who are unexperienced. I would have never thought of buying some of the PPE that is out there were it not for hearing these stories. I've delayed my purchase of a new welder, in favor of some better safety equipment, and some books to educate me about the risks associated with welding. I am still looking for a new machine, but only when I know a little more.
Thx guysTime to learn & Time to burn...

Just my 2 cents. The UV coming off a stick welder is 20X the sun! The UV coming off a Mig/Tig is 40-50X the sun!!! To put this in perspective, say you spent 8 hours in your shop one day building a project with your mig welder. It would be safe to say that you had you welder running for 4 hours of that day. Any exposed skin has just absorbed the equivalent UV as being outside in the sun for 160 hours!!!!! I won't weld without my jean jacket as a minimum, and that's only if I forgot my leathers at home! 98% of the time I have my leather welding jacket and my Carhart overalls. Just remember that denim does catch fire easily when it's frayed (been there, done that).
Maybe someone here can correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember my Instructor in college (too many years ago) saying that Borox (Borex?) laundry detergent mixed with something else (or maybe it was just straight Borox) will make your cloths fire resistant (resistant, not proof!!).
Let's remember to be safe. To many smart people die each year from doing something dumb, because they were in too much of a hurry to do it right.
And remember UV=cancer (proven or unproven, is your life and the people you leave behind worth the chance).
I'll get off my soapbox now, and no, I don't give change from a nickel for my 2 cents-LOL.The difference between No One. and No. One is where you put the period. John Force

Come on guys you are way over kill on this...he is from Florida. The unofficial welding uniform of Florida is shorts, flip flop sandals, a tee shirt and 2 pair of sunglasses
OK on the serious side. If it can burn it will while welding. You only have 2 eyes and they haven't come up with an aftermarket replacement for them, buy a good shield. Leather lacket with a bib front works great, good gloves, leather boots and heavy cotton trousers or canvas trousers. So with all that protection you are going to sweat buckets, drink lots of water and often. Being in Jacksonville I have experienced the summers and welding...lots of fun.

Danielle Flannery, 22, of Sandusky, was scheduled for trial next week. But at a hearing Monday, her attorney, John Prusak, asked the court to change the date.
"She said she is interested in helping the state in the way of cooperation," Erie County prosecutor Kevin Baxter said. "We're just going to have to address whether or not we're going to use her."
Flannery is charged with involuntary manslaughter, permitting child abuse, endangering a child and obstructing justice, all in connection to the July 30 death of Owen Barker. Police have said she left Owen in the care of her then-boyfriend, Michael Milner, 24, while she was at work that day.

Electoral map 2012 results: Shifting map of U.S. politics
Many favor Democrats, some benefit GOP
Washington (CNN) -- The electoral map is changing, and the 2012 presidential election is proof.
While many of the shifts favor the Democrats, some benefit the GOP.
Four years ago then-Sen. Obama became the first Democratic candidate since 1964 to carry Virginia in a presidential election, and the first to win North Carolina since 1976. Tuesday's election results confirmed that the 2008 results were no fluke. Virginia, which was once a reliably red state in presidential elections, can now be shaded purple. And North Carolina may be headed that way in the future.
It's also safe to say that New Mexico, a swing state for cycles past, has turned blue. And Nevada may be following down the same path in the future. An increase of the Latino share of the electorate, as well as the edging up of participation by younger voters, are partially behind these shifts.
"The biggest geographic breakthrough of 2008 is now consolidated. Obama in his first win captured a series of Sunbelt states that had leaned strongly toward the GOP over the previous four decades: Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida in the southeast, and Nevada and Colorado in the southwest, plus New Mexico, where Democrats had done better," said CNN Senior Political Analyst and National Journal Editorial Director Ron Brownstein.
"The same forces brought all of these states into play-growing diversity and improving democratic performance among the growing population of college educated whites. The same factors allowed the president to win several of them Tuesday night, and to run almost step for step in the others, even in a year when his white performance substantially eroded," added Brownstein.
But not all the shifts favor the Democrats.
"There are some states that have gotten redder. Obama carried Indiana four years ago but lost by 10 points this year, indicating that Indiana may be reverting to its Republican DNA. Sen. John McCain carried Missouri by the thinnest of margins in 2008, but Mitt Romney won that state by ten points," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
The map has changed. And it will again.

Viewer Question: I heard that sexual intercourse becomes painful after menopause. Is this true? How can I prevent this from happening?
Doctor's Response: Just as the symptoms of menopause vary among women, the extent to which individual women experience these symptoms also varies. Because menopause is associated with decreased levels of estrogen, the lining of the vagina may become drier and thinner, often leading to burning, itching, or discomfort during sexual intercourse.

Breast augmentation is a surgery to increase the size or change the shape of your breasts.
This procedure may be done for:
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a breast augmentation, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
may increase the risk of complications.
This is an elective surgery. If you have any illnesses or you are in poor health, you should not have this procedure.
Silicone-filled breast implants are not designed to last a lifetime. They typically need to be removed within 10 years. Your risk for complications increases the longer you have the implants.
You may be asked to provide a picture of a woman whose breasts you want yours to resemble. You also may be asked to look through an album of breast sizes and shapes to help the doctor understand the outcome you desire. Computer imaging may also be used to help determine desired results.
Your doctor may do the following:
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
Leading up to your procedure:
Local anesthesia may be used, but
general anesthesia
is usually used. With general anesthesia, you will be asleep. With local anesthesia, the selected area will be numb.
A cut in the skin will be made either underneath your breast, alongside the area around the nipple, in your underarm, or in your belly button. An implant or prosthesis will be placed through the incision. The implant can contain silicone gel or can be filled with salt water after it is placed. It may be placed between the skin/breast tissue and the muscle, underneath the connective tissue of the muscle, or under the muscle itself. You may or may not have a drainage tube placed around the implant. The incision will be closed with stitches and bandaged. The same procedure may be repeated for the other breast.
About 1-2 hours
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. You may have some bruising and tenderness of the breasts for several weeks after surgery. Talk to your doctor about medication to help manage the pain.
This procedure may be done in the hospital or surgery center. It may be possible to leave the hospital or surgery center on the same day of the procedure, or you may be asked to stay overnight in the hospital. Talk to your doctor about your options.
After the procedure:
Be sure that you follow-up with your doctor. For silicone gel implants, you will need routine
MRI scan
screenings to check for tears or holes in the implant. The screenings are typically done three years after surgery and every two years after that.
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Step inside the magnificent Georgia Dome, during the magnificent 2012 season! After losing for the first time the previous week in New Orleans, the Atlanta Falcons returned home cooking and the victory column in Week 11 to move to 9-1 and secure a virtual lock on the NFC South. This fantastic poster features a breathtaking panoramic end zone view of the remarkable Atlanta domed stadium, where over
71,000 red-clad fanatics enjoyed yet another victory, this one over the Arizona Cardinals. Like all
prints in photographer Rob Arra's Everlasting Images series, every
single detail is in perfect focus - the players and coaches on the sidelines,
the spectators, the scoreboards and video screen, the unique roof architecture, and, of course, the action
on the field, as Matt Ryan begins another march downfield from deep in his own end. An absolute beauty, this
print deserves a nice frame and a prominent place on the wall of any die-hard
football fan! Simply breathtaking, and a rare piece you likely won't find ANYWHERE else.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils

Students studying business at the University of California, Riverside finished finished in the top eight of 28 teams the 10th annual KPMG - Association of Latino Professionals in Finance & Accounting (ALPFA) Case Study Competition.
"In the first rounds of competition in Boston, we bested regional teams including UC Berkeley, University of Washington, University of Arizona and USC," said David Stewart, dean of the Anderson
Graduate School of Management at UC Riverside.
"Getting to the finals of this national competition is an especially notable achievement and has enhanced the reputation of UCR, AGSM, and our accounting program."
The UCR team consisted of five undergraduate students majoring in business administration including, Jose Hernandez, George Moreno, Ismaele Perez, Jacqueline Ugalde, and Lawrence Zhang, and one MBA student, Erin Peach, all from the A. Gary Anderson Graduate School of Management.
Professors Michael Moore and Ted Mock served as faculty advisors for the team.
Additional important coaching was provided by UCR professors Berry Mishra and Erik Rolland, KPMG's Marco Aguirre and Dawna Mason, a former judge at the case study competition.
In the contest, the UCR students were asked to role-play an external audit team providing risk assessments for the audit committee of the pharmaceutical firm Merck & Co., Inc. and judged on their ability to provide critical risk assessments including finding relevant accounting issues.
"These are incredibly bright students and they have put UCR on the map with their performance," said Stewart.
"This is a great example of how we prepare our students for the real world."
The dean said the competition has already resulted in job opportunities to members of the team. ALPFA is the leading professional association dedicated to enhancing opportunities for Latinos in the accounting and finance-related professions.
The KPMG/ALPFA competition has become a popular event that presents accounting, auditing and finance students with the challenge of resolving real-world business issues in a collegial and competitive environment.
The event was held August 9 and 10 in Boston. The team's expenses were covered by KPMG, an international network of professional who provide audit, tax and advisory services.

A former employee has filed a lawsuit against the city of Rockville, claiming "intolerable" working conditions forced him into early medical retirement.
Charles Baker of North Potomac filed a complaint Aug. 12 in Montgomery County Circuit Court.
This is the third time in the past seven months that a current or former employee has filed a lawsuit against the city. Last spring, one current and one former employee filed complaints against the city, claiming they were discriminated against because they are black.
According to the most recent complaint, Baker has worked for the city since 1984. In 2005, he was promoted to chief of inspection services, and in 2008, Susan Swift, director of the Community Planning and Development Services Department, became his supervisor.
Baker's lawsuit claims that Swift "engaged in unabated and outrageous bullying behavior," but the human resources manager at that time, Carlos Vargas, and city manager Scott Ullery each "turned a blind eye"to his complaints about Swift.
Vargas and Ullery no longer work for the City of Rockville.
At one point, the complaint says, Baker worked overtime to finish a report and turned it in, but Swift called him into the office on Palm Sunday (a Christian holy day) to staple the report pages together.
The lawsuit claims that Swift gave Baker an employee review that contained "intentional misrepresentations" and concluded that he was not entitled to his annual salary increase and could face termination upon another unfavorable review. She also requested that Baker be suspended for not completing an assignment when, the lawsuit claims, he had completed it.
The "hostile and intolerable work environment" took a toll on Baker's mental health, the complaint says, and in 2011, he took medical disability retirement.
A scheduling hearing is set for November. Marylou Berg, spokeswoman for the city of Rockville, said the city's policy is to decline to comment on pending litigation.
