IF YOU PUT OIL IN YOUR PASTA WATER

[~~~~Closed~~~~]

Alton Brown is The Man. (and is related to Pope Gregory XIII)

Alton Brown also looks like Medeo's dad, so much so that it's kinda spooky.

And Chef looks like a piece of chopped liver.

Chef is a peice of chopped liver.

if you ask the girls I know, who tend to be brutally honest about those kinds of things, then no...it's not all just as good...being that my current career is heavily dependent on the correct cooking of pasta, I'm gonna have to say that your analogy is flawed on both ends...sort of like my ugly pet frog...he has a club foot...and he's lost one eye....

Sorry about your frog.  But my experience (limit: one person(s)) dictates to me that it may as well be all the same, because I'm usually in a haze of sexual stupor when it happens anyway.

[LMNO]

Your survey sample is, how you say... limited, at the very least.

Yarrrgh.  

Well, I'm relatively new to the practice.

Don't worry...your town is FULL of horny drunk sluts...if you're 21, try the Croc, Neumo's, or the Rendezvous...if you're not 21 yet, well, you're basically screwed cuz Sea-town is not very all-ages friendly...all the all ages shows are full of pissed-off bitter pseudo-punk chicks who are really just interested in meeting Brian from the Catheters...

[Felix]

The town's in-crowd is highly shit-based.  They're greyfaces who steal our women and our life. =>.<=

I feel a watery anger coming on.*

[Delusion]

actually about a tablesppon of vegetable oil in a pan of boiling water helps your pastacook faster :P

and CHEF, I'm with guido on this one.
PS your keyboard is broken, there's no lower case, are you speaking in acronyms all the time or shouting?

MY APPLE ][ RULES J00.

from what I understand, everyone who isn't part of the in-crowd feels taht way...and actually, there are two in-crowds....you could loosely label them as the Cha-Cha crowd (about whom your assertions are entirely correct), and the Crocodile crowd (about whom your asssertions are only partially correct, since that's where the really cool kids tend to gravitate to)...but by the time you are of legal drinking age, I'm sure it will all be different....

There is very little I enjoy more than becoming enlightened to the inner workings of a completely alien and unidentified social network.

Neat-O.

[East Coast Hustle]

hey...I'm trying to help a brother get some...and it's not either of our fault that you don't know what we're talking about...why don't you move out of the sticks?    

[doubtless incident]

you people are nuts. i put pasta in my pasta water.
then i put curry sauce on the pasta and call it dinner.

Putting oil on pasta after pasta is cooked: tasty and yummy

Putting oil in water with pasta while boiling: stupid, pointless, and a waste of good oil...

you are using good oil, right? Cold-pressed, extra virgin olive oil? none of this canola bullshit...

Grandpa had an Italian restraunt/bakery for about 50 years and I spent a lot of time there,
so even I know that the only oil to have in a kitchen is cold-pressed, extra virgin olive oil.

And he never added oil or butter to the water when he boiled pasta.
He kept a spray bottle of olive oil and sprayed a little bit on the pasta after it was cooked.

I would kill for some of Grandpa's homemade ravioli right about now.

*bows to the mistress*

Indeed she is a god, for she hath accumulated the cullinary wisdom of the centuries, handed down from time immemorial.

I even use olive oil for making popcorn.
