the day has smoothed out and i feel pretty good, made one of my favorite things for an early dinner.........about 3/4 of an inch of light pasta, you could use vermicelli or angel hair, broken into 1/3s.......cooked to just before el dente........then drain and put in a fry pan with some pre-melted butter.....til just a hint of brown.......then add 2 eggs that have been heavily whisked together with a spot of milk and about a 1/4 of a cup of romano cheese grated.......and stir constantly until the eggs set.......lovely........then about 8 i had a late supper in the garden.......some blue cheese,figs,oil cured olives, a few hot peppers and some crackers with ceylon tea and a bit of aged brandy.......just enjoyed the evening.....and i feel great...........
