Better Pasta

http://siracusa.tumblr.com/post/17646045922/better-pasta

Nothing is so perfect. I like pasta. I’d like to help people make better pasta. It pains me to think about all the poorly prepared pasta being served and eaten in America. My advice will focus on plain old store-bought dried pasta. Nothing fancy. You’ve probably made some yourself. I’m specifically not. Here’s my advice, in no particular order.

Sort of amazing that such a user-unfriendly key sequence became a mainstream thing. Reblogged this from parislemon.

Other than her church, the Waffle House was about the only place Rose felt comfortable going alone since Stan, her husband of 65 years, passed away last year. They used to eat at the restaurant together. From time to time she’d retell how the two of them met, a long and winding story involving a Ouija board and a flirtatious secretary rival.
