Cheri and mld4ds,

Interesting to know how you cook pasta with butter or vegetable oil which different as mine...

I add pasta into unsalt boiling water. This is a simple. Remember that every salt are including foods.

At restaurant, they required me to use salt and vegetable oil. What kind of dumb resturant owner required us to use expensive Olive oil in the boiling pasta...oh, boy...

At home, it depends on how paste tastes without using salt or veg. oil so I will know better next time to boil. After boiling, I always use olive oil on cooling-off pasta.

Sometimes no salt and veg. oil. For your impatientnce, use with salt and veg. oil, there is no big different...
 
I'm bad at :

Accord Public Healthy law, there´re MUST have to add iodine salt on any cooking foods/breads. That´s why it´s not necassary for me to add extra salt into boiling water. There´re salt & pepper on the table if my famliy want to use extra on their dinner. I have problem with thyroid that´s why I use iodine salt. I am patience person... :D

Butter??????

I, as the former restaurant cook, never use butter in the boiling for pasta. Just use a dash of salt and 1 T vegetable oil. Butter???? you may have wasted butter since it does not have favor. Just use vegetable oil....

Hun; not everyone cooks the same as you, Some people use vegetable oil some use butter, some just use salt, or none. Butter makes the noodles soft and easy to cook. I've too worked in the restaurant since I was 14 years old and Restaurants are not always the same as preparing their foods. ;)
 
Hooray about this topic. Thanks, Cheri. Here's mine:


sewing. I cannot sew, not even to get in order to save my life
washing the dishes. If I wash the dishes while you are at my place, don't eat any meals on the dishes unless Nas washes.
skateboading
creative
working/socializing with grumpy or moody people. I'm no good with these people or assholes.

I'll add some more later.
 
I'm bad at:

dealing with people who have anger problems

skateboarding/rollerblading

climbing up steep rocks *covers my eyes*

keeping people to entertain, me thinks I'm king of boredom
 
I don't use butter nor oil for boiling my pasta. Instead, I boil pasta in chicken broth (made with instant chicken granules). It adds a lot of flavouring to the pasta itself. Sometimes I save the chicken broth to make minestrone soup.

What am I bad at?

1) Speaking and controling my voice pitch. I prefer to sign, but yet, I do speak with my family and so on. Sometimes I don't realise that I am speaking too softly or too loudly.

2) Exercising... besides hiking, I rarely exercise any at all.

3) Keeping up with my projects, such as my homepage, my garden, my readings, etc... I would go weeks without doing anything then one day comes and I end up spurgling all the time to do work on that project.

4) Cooking for an Asian family. I suck in cooking Asian dishes. And they don't like my German dishes either. And I'm a supposedly good cook, according to many of my friends and my bf.

5) I used to be bad at paying my bills, but now it has improved vastly within the past year.

6) I CANNOT NOT go travelling. I MUST travel. Whether it is a good thing or bad, it depends on perspective. My mum said to me once: "But you just went to France last year!"

7) I have a very limited patience when it comes to energy vampires. I tell them off as to not enable the situation. Sometimes the results aren't very pleasant.

8) I'm extremely moody when I am hungry or sick.

9) I am very bad at remembering people's birthdates, just like Cheri. I need to put together a birthday reminder thing!
 
I am bad at:

--Mathematics. I am STILL struggling with numbers. Thank goodness I am done with my mathematics for my college degree (the last math class was last Spring, YAY!) I am only good with the multiplication tables of zero, ones, two, threes, and fives-- that is ALL. Forget the fours, sevens, and the TERRIBLE nines! The calucator is the most wonderful invention in my world.

--.... boy I am having a hard time to think of what I am bad at...

:dunno: Maybe my husband will have an easy time to point out all things *I* am bad at. ;)
 
oh, i just remembered

im bad at reading. especially long posts in AD. i have to turn off the tv (as im hearing) and focus to be able to read the long posts in here. and that still takes me about 5 to 10 minutes. i have a hard time focusing, i get distracted easily.

Ditto! I cannot believe that I forget to mention that one in my list. Ever since I have (now had since I sold it out) a jeep and job, I cannot stay in one place any longer than one year. I went to different places during summertimes/winter break/spring break to keep myself sane.

We soon will move to Sweden, many new places in different countries are right there for us to visit.
