Pasta Salad

As Shakespeare once wrote in one of his plays, "What kind of a sick motherfucker doesn't love a good pasta salad?"

Pasta salad is one of the easiest and tastiest things that can come out of a kitchen. This pasta salad is simple to make.

Step 1; boil water and cook up some multi-color rotini you bought at the goddamned grocery store. See how it comes in 3 different colors? That represents the italian flag. Hallelujah, holy shit. Its supposed to be Red, White, and Green, but it really comes out more like Orange, Yellow, and Green. Oh well, doesn't really matter.

Step 2; Drain and cool your pasta. Run that shit under cold water. Chill it out. Next, add olive oil and balsamic vinegar to taste. Sprinkle on some basil. Fresh basil is better than dried basil, but it doesn't really fuckin matter. Unless of course you're a chef or some kind of snobby foodie person. You can add little cubes of mozzarella if you're into that shit. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on it too.

Step 3; Add some cut up tomatoes, red peppers, green peppers, black olives, or whatever else you like, in any combination you like.

Step 4; Refrigerate for a few hours. Let it all get nice and cold.

Step 5; Eat it.

And there you have it, pasta salad in a nutshell.

Pizza review: Cibo e Beve

This review was dictated utilizing my amazing voice recognition software. I'm leaving it as is because it pretty much sums up Cibo e Beve's overpriced pizza quite well.

me I decided that I was going to go on a pizza plus I was going to try to figure out where in Atlanta Georgia is the best pizza so I've been going all these different places and I recently had the opportunity to go to TiVo eBay which is on Roswell Road Sandy Springs Georgia for a sonic Italian restaurant I didn't really think that their food was very good um its for the pizza goes um you pay 10 dollars or 60 dollars um it's 10 dollars at 2:10 end

As you can see, you pay $10+ for a small misshaped overcooked pizza. The pizza I was given had lots of bubbles in it. Bubbles in your pizza means that no one was really paying much attention to it while it was cooking. Then, as you can see, the cheese is all super burned on the top. The dough itself for the crust may have been good but it was hard to tell, since it just tasted burned. Toppings were burned. Cheese was burned. Sauce was dried out due to burning. I managed to crunch through one and a half slices before I gave up and asked for my check.

 Thankfully, I went here after 10pm, and all their pizzas are $10 after 10pm, otherwise this piece of shit pizza would have cost me $17. Even so, $10 for a pizza smaller than my plate that was just straight up neglected and burned was more than I think it was worth.

Ironically, you'd think this was some sort of good restaurant since they tout themselves as Chef created recipes and all that crap. They also cook the pizza in one of those specialty pizza ovens. Impressive, until you get the actual product. I've honestly tasted better frozen pizzas I've gotten from the gas station or Walmart. Save your hard earned $$$ and order something else besides this mess.

Overall impression: Tasted EXACTLY like one of those frozen pizzas that got left in the oven for 10 minutes too long.
