I love my friend Elsa. She loves me. She can do lots of impressive things like sailing a boat, a real one, on the sea. I wouldn't go so far as call it a yacht, but she (the boat) is called the Mai Tai after the cocktail. This alone lets you know that Elsa is a person of the quality. However, being Dutch, Elsa favours the Amsterdam method of pasta preparation which is snapping spaghetti in half, vigorously stirring it as it boils until pale grey and gelatinous then rinsing it without mercy under the cold tap in a colander. Serve with low fat margarine.

Elsa won't mind me saying this because her unique style is legendary and she doesn’t care.

Do you have friends that are cruel to food?

Adventures! My phone is in French and keeps thwarting me. Such a bossy phone but I only type English on here, really.

Should have had them first. Would have made the spaghetti more tolerable.
My married into family is American and boils water in the microwave. That's an abomination.

I do that! In my defence, my kettle has broken and I only heat up a tiny bit of water in a mug for an instant black coffee...

Oh dear! I'm as bad as Elsa! Maybe that's why we're friends...
