This takes me back to that time I dated a British guy who insisted the right way to cook pasta was to put the dried pasta in an empty pot, boil a kettle and then pour it on the pasta (no salt of course). Reader, I married him.
I would like to report a hate crime: โI watch as he pours dry penne into a cereal bowl, covers it with water, and places it in the microwave for eight minutes.โ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ณ
