“Putin is a man who can bring peace to many in this world,” he added, describing the Russian leader as “a phenomenon; simply a phenomenon.”

Albert ain’t wrong. For a lot of years my dad did the same thing, and it’s taken me until my mid-20's to start appreciating all the little things that turn spaghetti into a legitimate meal.

Stop this bad habit. Finish the food before you serve it to them. This is how they will come to appreciate good, well finished food.

Clean off the rim of that plate!

This won’t work well for you, because you put damn oil in your damn pasta water.

Stop adding oil to your pasta water.

Instead of putting sauce on top of cooked pasta on the plate (like most Americans serve spaghetti) - you are supposed to put your cooked pasta into a pan with the finished sauce to cook and integrate. Once you toss and cook for a few mins usually on medium - pasta is ready to serve - top with whatever.

Explain.

I once had a roommate who thought that all of the spices in a recipe were optional garnishes- nice if you had them, but not necessary to the finished product.

MMA fans are desperate that their latest, greatest hope for legitimacy is about to get his ass kicked by an old boxer.

Thats your reply? A semantics argument?

You are aware that boxers are commonly referred to as “fighters” and a boxing match is typically referred to as a “fight,” correct? And even technical or defensive boxers are known as “technical fighters” or “defensive fighters.” And he’s 49-0. If Laura had called him one of the greatest knockout artists or sluggers,…

What about if they serve them spinach around Round 7, that seems to liven up Popeye/Bluto matches.

I think I saw that move Conor in Wolf of Wall Street.

Man, did Big Oil put you up to this? Lots of oil talk.

If we are talking pasta - most people need to learn to finish the pasta in the sauce (post boil) in pan - because so many people dont do this. It looks better and tastes way better. Can always sprinkle herbs after, but this is more important.

Props to the video editor for putting McGregor working the bags in super-slo-mo so we’d actually be able to see his lightning hands. Should’ve set it to some obscure indie pop, though.

It’s hard to think about Mayweather being “one of the best fighters in history”

Or, it’s because he has never been a professional boxer before?

I’m having a hard time believing that the McGregor video is in any way serious, unless ... is it possible that McGregor is trying to lure Mayweather into a false sense of security? I don’t think that’ll work, but it could at least be an explanation.
