One for me…

My girl told me that she would be cooking spaghetti for her lunch that day so I asked her to whip up one serving of the same…

…for me too.

Well, it so happened that I had bought a pack of premier smoked back bacon…

…a couple of days earlier and she said she would like to use that for her dish. Of course, I had no objection to that whatsoever – as a matter of fact, I would go and buy these things to stock up in the freezer knowing how she enjoys eating them.

Personally, I do prefer smoked streaky bacon – it has a stronger bacon fragrance and I did buy back bacon before but even though we liked how it was not so fat and it did not shrink when pan-fried till there was not much of it left, we were not all that impressed. This one claimed that it was smoked so it probably would be nicer.

Much to my surprise. it was made in Sabah!…

I thought that to the most, it would be packed there only but made some place else overseas.

There were quite a lot of slices…

…inside so this should last for quite a while.

I don’t know where or when the mum bought this packet of spaghetti…

– usually, we would buy the San Remo brand but this one should do fine. After all, it was made in Italy so you can’t get anything more authentic than that.

Yes, it turned out very nice, the aglio olio spaghetti with bacon…

…and the very sweet and crispy (oval) cherry tomatoes that my girl planted in our garden and the pasta was great too, cooked to perfection, al dente.

That sure was a delightful lunch all right.
