baby, what's in that satchel?

i cooked dinner! penne in pesto with bacon + prawns. this is amazing because:

1. the pasta was al dente
2. the bacon was not burned
3. the prawns were not over/under-cooked
4. dad actually said "good! enjoyable meal."
5. i did not set anything in the kitchen on fire ... as i have done twice before in as many years.

also, no pictures are available because lynne's taken the camera to melbourne, and also, the food is ALL GOOOONE !! huzzah. we ate it all. i am a culinary genius.
