ah aussie country food…
no choice in Longford?
(Last night at smart Giorgio's in Armadale, snooty melb) I ordered
penne carbonara
thinking that's the tubular pasta I can handle better than spaghetti.
What reached me, however, lacked tubularity, and I ate awkwardly
mismanaging many mouthfuls.
Guess I should have sent it back, saying Bring me penne!
Was the waitress tattooed? I didn't check.)
