Pasta alla whimsy

I've been really neglectful lately and haven't blogged in forever, so naturally I thought "what epic blog post can I create to distract them from the fact that i've been slacking" the answer: post pictures of me having a glorious time on some exotic island.  Unfortunately I didn't have time to hop over to the Caribbean so instead I'm going to show you the odd concoction I made for dinner tonight!  

Note: I was feeling rather whimsical when I made this, there was no recipe...First I cooked up some bacon, and while that was going I chopped up some red pepper and onion ( I also wanted to mince some garlic, but I couldn't find any...).  Just before the bacon was done I started boiling a pot of salted water for the pasta.  When the bacon was nice and crispy I put it on a plate in between paper towels, got rid of about half of the grease from the skillet and then poured my vegies in to cook.  

When the vegetables were soft and delicious (aka done) I put them in the pot with the drained pasta (which was done at this point) and this is where it gets weird...I didn't really have a plan in mind so I just poured in random things I thought might taste good.  I started with a little garlic powder (in lieu of the fresh garlic i didn't have) and then I poured about half a cup of whole milk in (thinking I would make a sauce).  It didn't thicken up as much as I'd hoped it would, so I grated in some parmesan and mozzarella.  After crumbling up the bacon and tossing it all together I had a strange yet delicious meal...it ended up being sort of like macaroni and cheese, which wasn't at all my intention but I guess that's what happens when you use macaroni-ish noodles and melted cheese.  

Do you like whipping up random meals too?  I'd love to hear about it, comment with you're favorite concoctions!
