Bucatini, which is essentially spaghetti with a hole in the center, is the traditional pasta used. I won’t pay four times the cost of spaghetti to be a pasta shape purist.

This tasted great. I used the Lee Bros. recipe. It’s not the most eye-appealing food though, especially after a night of drinking.

Colombian chicken and potato soup. I have consumed two exports from Colombia in my life and enjoyed both greatly.

Eastern European condiment made from roasted red peppers, eggplant, garlic, oil and (sometimes) with hot peppers. $2-3 bucks a jar.. Great with feta and olives in a pita for a instant exotic meal.

A few clever directorial touches here and there, but the acting was crappy, and the structure reminded me of old HS filmstrips. This is what bugged me most: why would a movie about broad sexual deviance—unrated version at that—make you wait an hour for a single brief glimpse of tits?

The taste of malt liquor won’t win accolades from snobs, but hell, it’s palatable enough, and the 40 oz. bottle is a near perfect dosage delivery vehicle. Getting a buzz is the idea in the first place. Nothing beats a relaxed experience that doesn’t have to strain for adjectives to describe it.

If you’re so fussy and refined, tell me you never ate junk food in the past year.

I know this film is a critic’s darling, and I have a crush on Gong Li, but I can’t get through the tedium.
