Dinner Dialogues: Vol. One

Carl: "The pasta has to be both tender and firm."

Me: "Like a breast."

Carl: "Yeah, exactly. I like to bite it to test it."

Me: "God yeah."

Just for clarification...my response was, "Yeah, exactly. I like to use a little teeth." But, in the interest of not totally undermining Fench's work, it was an ingeneous analogy comparing pasta being done to breasts. From now on in our humble abode, al dente will be replaced by "al breaste". Man law?

if al dente = al breaste, then does French need to kill an eighth of maker's mark before he can eat it? zing?

Wow...but in fairness, I'd have to kill the fifth of Maker's before even opening the box of pasta. In order to eat it, well, we're talking at least three shots of Jameson.
