The Pasta Guy
Ever lived with someone who fancied themselves as a bit of a Chef? Lorelle sent in the story below about her Pasta Guy....
"My first experience of living with an unknown housemate was in Melboune "Oz" with a Lithuanian guy who fancied himself as a great pasta chef. He truly believed that the only way to test the spaghetti was 'al denté' was to throw it at the wall and see if it stuck there sufficiently!! Unfortunately he wasn't nearly so particular about removing the weeks of dead spag FROM the wall!! UUuurrgghh!!"
Now I'm not sure what's wrong with throwing the spaghetti at the wall to make sure it's done, but I draw the line at leaving it there for weeks on end....

I live with a chef and i love most of his cooking. My only problem with him is, well he loves to use herbs and spices. The more the better i think his motto is. And most of the time it works out well, until he put capsicum flakes in the pumkin soup. I love his pumpkin soup, i could live off it forever, but i can't eat capsicum, chilli, anything hot like that. I never have and he simply wont believe that the stuff will make me sick. Im getting to the point where i will eat a chilli in front of him and make him deal with me for when im violently ill for the 24 hours, i don't know what else to do. And we go halves in the food so its not like i can tell him he can't eat it.
