How far can determination get you? Quite far indeed.
*grin*
Quite far indeed...
Crpytic posts now? We readers demand compensation!
LoL. Just kidding ;)
Posted by: Ash.ox at 2004年03月05日 09:06Look at the posting pattern... wayyy before it was macaroni, then linguini, then lasagna, now fettuccini...
I bet spriralli/fusili is going to be next!
Ash: You want compensation, come on Saturday. COME!
KaZ: Unfortunately, I don't really like spriralli/fusili - if only I knew how to make gnocchi or ravioli... But yes, you made a good observation - I've been craving pasta lately.
Posted by: Najah at 2004年03月05日 10:13Mmmm. Pasta. Me likey.
Mmmmm. Ravioli. Me likey too.
Najah, I take that as a challenge, my good lady.
I will attempt to join thine gathering.
*Ni! Ni! Ni!* <- only for Monty Python fans, sorry ;)
Posted by: Ash.ox at 2004年03月05日 10:36Najah: Ah! A challenge? I shall endeavour!
KaZ: Mmmm. Ravioli. Mmmm. Me likey. BTW, I like pasta. Any kind.
Posted by: Ash.ox at 2004年03月05日 10:38me know it's kinda boring and mainstream, but my poison pasta is the plain spaghetti bolognese.. slluuurrpppss..
Posted by: pickyin at 2004年03月05日 10:46Pickyin: Me too, but do you realise how hard it is to get really good bolognaise? Everyone seems to think that pasta should be improvised on, which kills the beauty of the humble bolognaise.
Posted by: Najah at 2004年03月05日 12:11yes yes najah!!!
the best way is to do it yourself.. right down to mincing the red meat and cubing the veges. curio's tomato pasta sauce is good (me like the one with olives), just add canned tomatoes separately.
i think secret recipe's is not bad though.
Posted by: pickyin at 2004年03月05日 12:21I BEG to differ! Secret Recipe's spaghetti bolognese is disgusting!! Tasted and looked terrible! It was bastardized! At least in Seri Petaling. It's terrible! The best I had so far was in Eastin (Don't ask me why I ordered it there). One of the WORST improvisations to the dish was had at La Manila, Tmn SEA - the cook melted American cheese slices on top. Esthetically-pleasing but mind-boggling! Also the worst thing you can have as a side dish beside your s.bolo. is the famous trio - frozen peas, carrots and corn -I HATE THEM! (cos they're a damn lazy effort at a salad)
Posted by: lolita at 2004年03月05日 13:33Give me a nice, creamy fettucine carbonara, and I will work for you. Graciously, I might add.
My first cat was named Spaghetti Carbonara. I miss him.
Posted by: Ash.ox at 2004年03月05日 15:17Ash: Will a slightly different sauce do?
Fettuccini with a cream sauce base, fused with basil pesto and laced with sauteed chicken, Swiss brown mushrooms, capsicum slices and cashew nuts.
For a review, ask the Meeshlet.
Posted by: Najah at 2004年03月05日 15:19Chinoz's fettucine carbonara! I'm ordering that if staying for lunch tomorrow.. >)
Posted by: pickyin at 2004年03月05日 16:21Najah: EEeeeeeeek. That sounds sinful. I shall have to trudge thru my exam knowing that Meesh has tasted it, the evil woman.
Graaaah.
Posted by: Ash.ox at 2004年03月05日 22:31I will concur that Najah's fettucini is indeed a mouth orgasm.
End.
