How to cook pasta...

Ma normally doesnt cook on sundays..Its either me or pa, khichdi or pulao, or we just eat out..Today, I was in the mood for sum Italian...So I thought i'd ask pa to take us all to a nice italian restaurant so i cud munch on penne with white sauce and mushrooms and sundried tomatoes...But since i was out d entire day, and guudu s having her exams, my idea was turned down...And what followed instantly was a voice frm across d room..'khichdi or pulao?'...but thankfully pa came to our rescue...and he was going to cook us a nice italian pasta..I was happy to help..but cudnt have done it myself since i was too tired..

No doubt d pasta was decent considering it was his first attempt at italian, but the sight of him cooking it inspired me like sooo much..tht i cudnt resist myself frm posting this aaj hi..And i sit here wondering, do all men cook like dis?? Is it like sum signature way of putting all d ingredients together, sum magic dat u'd do wid d spatula..lol

Ma said she wish she had a pen and a paper den so she cud like note down d new secret recipe to his pasta..lol I do remember like the crucial steps and i guess its time i reveal dem..And ladies, u cn actually copy d recipe..pa woudnt mind..

Step 1: Boil a lot of water in one of those pot things...*mind u a lot of water* cos u dont know wat if the pasta s like too thirsty today??

Step 2: Skim over the directions *in case u forgot the necessary ingredients such as water or heat*

Step 3: Dip ur finger in every 2 mins..the moment it hurts like hell..its time to add d new ingredients

Step 4: Simply mash your thumb with extraordinary force to open up d packet containing the penne...*u dont really have to use d scissors, dey are meant for kids for their crafts*

Step 5: U look rite and den left..see if sum1 saw ur muscle power when u opened it..was too easy aint it??

Step 6: Its almost impossible to boil d pasta without spilling it over..and once half of it goes inside the water, u can conveniently scoop up d rest with ur hand and put it in

Step 7: Its tempting to stare at d bubbles...so u dont put d lid while it boils

Step 8: Just ... dont stare too close, or for too long. Eventually, you will need to remove this hypnotic mess from the stove. Dump it into the sink to drain. Don’t bother with one of those girly colander.

Step 9: Time to add the cheese and milk...funny..plastic melts the same way!!

Step 10: Put all d masalas u know...Afterall indians are famous for innovations...lol he almost picked up d chat masala frm d fridge..

Step 11: Time for the penne to go into d indian plastic..lol..no d sauce!

Step 12: U serve it to every1...u knw how eagerly ppl wait for dinner...
