#  "...But oh, dem bacon and dem egg..."

	-- Jack Kerouac, reading from "On the Road," with accompaniment
	   of Steve Allen on free-form baby grand.

     Calvin Trillin, roving "real food" critic and author ("Alice, Let's Eat"),
proclaimed it a national dish.  The late Charles McCabe of the S.F. Chronicle
wrote whole columns about it.  I just eat the stuff, understanding viscerally
its cultish appeal.

     So send us your carbonara recipe mods, garnishes, etc.  It's hard to
imagine improvement on something so simple:  bacon, eggs, and pasta.
But there's always preparation variants; like, do you cut up the bacon
before frying it, or after, blah-de-blah.  Hunger pangs striking ...
