Hmmmm, I love spaghetti carbonara.

 

I wonder if they were in the pasta business?

 

Another cool post @Topcat7 !!!

Obviously the R R bug has 'infected' you as deeply as it has so many of the rest of us LOL

 

I might have to go and see the 'Doctor' for a 'cure', because it is having negative effects elsewhere, (wallet).

 

Wow, TC-- you're really on a binge!!
