my favourite easy meal:

  • tagliatelle in boiling salted for water for 5min (1min less than the time to al dente on the box)
  • drain most of the water, add olive oil and minced garlic (use a garlic press), turn up heat and stir 1 min
  • take off heat, mix in grated “pizza cheese”

this is sort of a freakish variant of aglio e olio that's easier to prepare and more spicy. it's even better if you add chili flakes at the same time as the garlic

Is glue stronger than wood? No!

Daydreaming about a world where we get the most extreme judgement in the Google monopoly rulings and Google actually gets broken up big time, what a wonderful thought

On the other hand I'll need to get to work, how? idk, I guess I'll take the bus

There's always a bit of panic here every year when the snow comes

We just got first snow here and every time I look outside it looks like a Christmas postcard with snowtopped roofs on all the houses, the morning sun shining bright, glistening in the snow
