Among my other skills, I'm a pretty decent cook. From-scratch pancakes are freakin easy and delish. I add a touch of cinnamon, brownsugar, and vanilla (real vanilla, not that fake shitty imitation shit). Or maybe a spoonful of Blackberry Jam. A swirl of Maple Syrup (again the real stuff is 100x better than the fake) after it's been poured into the pan. Couple drops of food colouring for rainbow cakes. Etc Etc.

Cinnamon and vanilla at the same time? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) You sir are a barbarian. You can choose ether cinnamon or vanilla i dont care, but both in the same food is a crime against nature.

and nope, in the area where i live we wouldn't say "mamma mia". we would say something a bit less referrable... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)
Is it really prepared wrong if it is something I more or less came up with?
Melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter in saucepan. add 1/2cup lemon juice. add 1lb cubed chicken, ground red pepper flake, oregano, and basil to taste. cook over medium heat until done.
Seperately, prepare 500g pasta, boiling for 7 minutes or so, to al-dente. Drain well, do not rinse.
Add to chicken, stir and cover. wait 5 minutes, then add 750g white sauce to pasta and meat. Stir and serve.

many dishes were prepared "came up with". there's nothing wrong with that. it's only that if i go, saying, at a restaurant which claims to prepare "italian pasta" or see a web tutorial on how to prepare "the real italian pasta" (albeit the former being a bit more serious than the latter) you should throw pasta on already-boiling water, like we already discussed. THAT'S italian pasta.
then, you can serve it with pretty much whatever you want. that's a whole other matter.

Who in the seven hells would throw pasta in not-yet boiling salted water? HEATHENS!!!
So, the top answer goes for "it's for reliability sake" and that's a bit discouraging, after all, it's not like I time the food I'm cooking, I just taste it, poke it, etc
my heart cannot bear with it anymore, so i'll stop here.

of course. apart for the fact that it's not always explained what does the time on the packaging mean (al-dente? mid cooking?), there's also a bit of variability - ie because gpl isn't the same, a bit too much water, a bit too less... usually i look at it every now and then as well. when it does look decent, then i taste it.

Well i guess your heart would stop if you would know how it looks like when uncle stu germanize his spaghetti. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)
I don't wanna get too political, but since I see it as a common trope against France and my education lacked a more extense world history, where does that trope comes from?
