Maybe you almost got divorced but you remembered when you saw your wife for the first time and you called the whole thing off; maybe you got fired but it feels good to be free. And you’re walking, and it’s raining, and who knows what the night has in store. If this is you, or you are me, a girl in her 20s, you are listening to “The Downtown Lights,” by the Blue Nile.I love this record, and this band.

TasteFood: Roman restoration of a classic Italian pasta

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:08:45 GMT

Pasta carbonara is the Roman’s answer to comfort food. It’s composed of a humble trio of ingredients — eggs, cheese and noodles — which, with the elemental magic of heat and water, alchemize to create a glistening bowl of pasta that’s as restorative as it is comforting. Crispy pancetta is a traditional ingredient in a carbonara, and its rendered fat adds salt and flavor to the dish. While less traditional, sweet peas add brightness and balance the pork in this recipe.This carbonara comes together quickly, so it’s important that your ingredients are prepped before you begin cooking. The most important element is the egg and cheese mixture, which coats the hot noodles and creates the slick sauce that binds the dish. Add the whisked eggs and cheese to the hot noodles away from direct heat, stirring constantly to thoroughly coat the noodles. The heat from the pasta will help to cook the eggs, and the stirring will prevent them from scrambling. It may ...

DEAR JOAN: Where have all the birds gone this spring? I have not seen my two hummingbirds for six weeks, despite changing out the food every week, and we have not seen any songbirds. We do have some crows but not that many to account for the scarcity of our bird life.Is this widespread in the area? Any idea why?— John M. Bonds, CupertinoDEAR JOHN: I’ve been writing this column for more than a decade, and I get at least one of these questions every spring. You’d think I’d have a better answer, but “because nature” is the best I’ve got.While it’s unsettling for your yard to be suddenly devoid of bird song, the birds are out there — just not in your neighborhood. It might seem like a dire warning that something’s wrong with the environment, but it’s more likely that it’s just nature at work. Our unusually wet winter and spring have created an abundance of wild flowers and insects, and birds are taking advantage of that.Other factors could be in play. If you or your neighbor...
