Pasta, i love you

Matching the pasta to the right sauce

Each shape of pasta is typically matched with a particular sauce based on consistency and its ability to hold sauce.

Baked Mostaccioli	Fresh, light sauces like olive oil or simple fresh tomato work best with smooth shapes (mostaccioli, ziti).
Oil-based sauces and thicker tomato sauces go better with flat pasta like linguine, giving it a fuller flavor.	Linguine Arrabiata
Fettucini Alfredo	Robust sauces, such as Fettucini Alfredo go well with Fettuccine, a thicker flat long shape.
Seafood-based sauces pair well with refined spaghetti especially with spaghetti ala chittara. Being squared instead of round this type of paste offers more surface for the delicate sauce to stick to.	Spaghetti ala Chittara
Penne Arrabiata	Full flavor sauces go well with tube-shaped pasta, like striated penne or shell-shaped pasta, like orecchiette.
Refined dairy-based sauces and spicy sauces go with penne. Their large diameter, combined with the ridges make them ideal to trap thick sauces, giving the pasta a richer flavor.	Mushroom Penne in mustard cream

• Thinner, lighter sauces with fresh tomato sauce, using less oil, go best with the thin delicate finer spaghetti.
• The thickest tubular pastas, such as ziti or manicotti, are ideal for baked pasta dishes as they hold up to longer cooking.

PS: I LOOORVE lasagna!!

IRON(MAN) Life Support System

This device can be used to support a discombobulated head with oxygenated blood and nutrients. This is done via the tubes connected to arteries which pass through the neck. After circulating through the head, the de-oxygenated blood returns to the cabinet by means of “cannulae” which are connected to veins that emerge from the neck.

Ever wondered what happens after you rescue the princess??
Find out in this Cool Super-Awesome video…

What Super Mario taught me

I am sure you have played Super-Mario at one time or another in your life.

What with the sweet music and simple yet addictive gameplay. Life was simple back then with just 8 buttons to press with two thumbs. One didn’t have to be a PhD. genius to learn the controls. Directions keys to move. Button A to jump, B to shoot fireballs at the enemy.

And yet within the numerous permutations and combinations of such simple moves, “Super” Mario was able to perform a series of complex manoeuvres to do the strangest of things.

But did You ever wonder what happened after you rescued the princess.

That would be the game’s end. You stopped playing. Right??

WRONG!!

The designers of video-games realised it long back that they couldn’t let the game end like that. Hence they made it essential for the hero to rescue the princess. Because thats when the real challenge starts!!

Here’s a sneak preview at a game where the hero manages to rescue the princess.

See for yourself, What happens next…

They sure didn’t make games like this when i used to play them…

DISCLAIMER: Events depicted in the video are figments of the game developers imagination. In real life, after the hero rescues the princess, they get together and they live happily ever after.

Nothing.

He could see nothing. He could hear nothing.
Adam was lying flat on the ground. He didn’t know where he was.
He felt so tired. Every muscle in his body was being torn. Each nerve on fire.
A sledge-hammer was pounding in his head every second, blowing his brains to pieces each time it did.

Adam did not know where he was. He tried to remember, but couldn’t. He tried getting up, but couldn’t. Nothing moved. It was as if his body had stopped following his orders. The pain dropped a notch, or maybe it had been paining for so long that his body had got used to it.

“Hello?” Adam said. But, he didn’t hear his own voice.
