Why Making Pasta is A Lot Like Making Love

             The water must be almost ocean~salty and as you know, life began in the ocean.

If you’re following instructions while doing it, the results will be boring.

If you get tired of eating it, you’re probably doing it wrong.

It might be the same recipe but it should feel right every time.

You have to remain willing to experiment, improvise follow the idea, and do it with abandon.

Garlic both feeds and fuels the desire.

Talking sweetly inevitably is a good thing. (Talking dirty will sometimes yield the desired results)

Self-confidence is crucial.

Stamina can, uh, really come in handy.

If it is made correctly, an afterglow will sweep over your guests’ faces.
