Do you believe in ghosts? I believe in spiritual presences, that sometimes may be sensed.
What is your best recipe? Spaghetti alla Carbonara.

This recipe combines cream, eggs, cheese and bacon on spaghetti.
Serves 4

1 lb spaghetti
3/4 cup heavy cream
3 eggs
½ lb bacon, cut into ½-inch dice
salt and pepper, to taste
¾ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Preparation:

Fill a large soup pot with cold water and add a handful or so of salt. Stir and taste; it should taste like seawater. Cover the pot and heat the water until it boils.
Add the diced bacon to a cold sauté pan and cook slowly over a low heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until crisp. Remove/drain grease from pan. Discard grease
Drop the spaghetti into the boiling salted water and cook according to package instructions, about 6 to 9 minutes or until tender but still firm to the bite.
While the pasta cooks, pour cream in bacon saute pan, add some parmesan cheese, salt and pepper; heat until a line of tiny bubbles forms around the edge. Turn off cream. Separate the yolks from whites, only use the yolks for this recipe.
Drain pasta, toss in saute pan, add egg yolks, and mix. Serve right away, with additional grated cheese if desired. [Should not sit or it will stick together].

What is your most favorite smell/scent? I like lavender and any citrus scents. But I also enjoy sniffing other untraditional smells, like freshly sharpened pencils, or books [as blogged here]

What subject was your favorite in all of your schooling? Why? I always enjoyed art, drawing, etc. because I have been drawing since I could hold a pencil. But in elementary and middle school I really liked geometry, especially the part where I had to draw a shape to solve a math problem by measuring angles, sides, etc. I also enjoyed Latin and English. The first one because it took me closer to my ancestors [I used to imagine ancient Romans speaking among themselves]; English because I finally learned to understand what The Beatles were singing about.
