Our pasta, who art in a colander, Draining be your noodles. Thy noodle come, Thy sauce be yum, On top some grated parmesan. Give us this day our garlic bread, And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trample on our lawns. And lead us not into vegetarianism, but deliver us some pizza, For thine is the meatball, the noodle, and the sauce, forever and ever. -RAmen.
Do you think colander and sieve are interchangeable?
And, finally, I have ordered a proper pasta-cooking pot.
I haven't looked this up so if I'm wrong oh well.I would think the difference is a colander has many holes and is smaller and a sieve has far less holes and can be bigger?I picture a sieve being used in agriculture with grain and corn production.Kinda like a funnel.
I'm watching some cooking show while waiting for the mud-mask on my face to do its thing.
The host made her own pasta - just flour and eggs - and it got me thinking about (and thankful for!) whomever discovered and perfected the process. How many tries it must've taken - just the idea alone - then getting the ingredients right but the prep wrong, or the cooking wrong. Kneading it, flattening it, using different shapes for different sauces. Learning to cook it al dente, to mix it with the sauce, to let the flavors marry and get it on for awhile.
That's amore!
Hedonist - you think that's something? Take a look at the coffee and chocolate industries - both astonishing end products that are so commonplace and delicious, but in their original forms are absolutely vile, and the amount of processing necessary to extract their goodness is totally mind-blowing. The fact that people took the time and energy to go through the R & D to make something good out of them consistently leaves me flabbergasted.
Yes! This gets me too. Who even thought something so tasty and comforting and healthy would come from that initial nastiness?
What else is there in front of us? Second time today - maybe more than that - I go back to "imagine".
Speaking of the how's and why's, I'll also say that earlier this morning while doing my nails, I wondered what cavemen (encompasses both genders, ya feminists ) did when theirs grew too long. Did they naturally get lopped off in the course of survival or did they grow and become cumbersome, leading to some form of what we now call nailclippers?
I bet they used some form of stone to keep those things under control.btw this is fucking nasty.How do you complete the cleaning process after using the bathroom?How do you floss? This is freaking me out and giving me the heebiegeeebies.sheesh

I haven't looked this up so if I'm wrong oh well.I would think the difference is a colander has many holes and is smaller and a sieve has far less holes and can be bigger?I picture a sieve being used in agriculture with grain and corn production.Kinda like a funnel.
i think sieve is a generic term and colander is a specific kind of sieve for the straining of boiled foods. I dont know why I bothered to type this out lol, nobody cares myself included! Hahaha I'm in agreement that "noodly appendage" is offputting and certainly wouldnt do well in a personal ad or dating profile lol

Well a Colander is to drain things and a sieve is to well sieve things

This reminded me of the Seinfeld where Jerry was playing Scrabble with his mom, and Kramer came up with "quone".
"You know, to quone something!"
Yeah, I think sieves have smaller holes.
And those nails! Good god. I don't like long nails in general - those ones up there are nightmare material.

His Noodliness has no need for a dating profile, sir. And his noodly appendages are fully satisfying for the chosen, by the way.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
