Hmm...a dish of significance indeed...the next time its made, tasted or watever, i doubt ill ever forget the stories behind this dish......a creamy sauce, bacon, egg yolk, mushroom, linguine/spaghetti, whipping cream for cooking.............Amazing dish....So expensive and seemingly difficult to prepare dish was made simple at the hands of a "well-known" chef amongst our group of friends downunder....
I will never forget how i was pleasantly surprised at the simplicty in steps of making this special dish i have always known about in restaurants..gd Italian restaurant to be exact.....
It was really in the freshness of ingredients and timing of mixing the ingredients....When i first picked it up, i did a terrible job, no where near my 'shi fu''s standard....but after several tries, i remember him saying "it's really quite nice, better than mine"... of course, i knew that he was jus being really polite, encouraging and simply gentlemanly not to put me down.... It was this dish that kinda marked a beginning of deep friendship between us......a dish that ssssoooomehow will always be remembered together with the stories alongside it.....both happy and sad ones....
Not long ago, this same dish somewhat and somehow entered my life in a significant way again...but it took a very different meaning this time....less of a happy occasion...in fact it marked an important turning point in my life....a sad one... A now very gd friend of mine approached me to making this dish for his cell...at 1st i was afraid to walk down memory lane...but then again, I definitely would help out and it's also been a long time since i touched it.....So, we did it.. it was quite an experience..quite fun in fact....and interesting to see how the ingredients do matter! =P
The end product was commented to be quite good...thank God..i was somewhat proud of myself.. *hee* i felt encouraged, but yes, it did not fail to bring back some memories of where and from whom i picked up this relatively simple skill....And now, it will not cease to remind me it is a dish that marked the end of a dear relationship between 2 people...who love each other but had to learn to love God more, and put Him above all else in their individual lives 1st before embracing a rship....
It hurts...indeed, how a dish so delectable yet simple can carry so much joy and pain at the same time...Still, how much it will always mean to me, i pray will never die....Through it all, God, be my strength...be my song...be all that I am always....
