Mr. Tucci is a fine actor, seems like a decent man and I enjoy his interviews. But he comes across as being very particular about food.

Right now I'm making a half assed flat bread pizza with store bought sauce. The olives are kalamata, the cheese feta, and the crust is naan for fuck's sake. Boring-ass button mushrooms.

I really hope he doesn't find out about this pizza.

What are you hiding from Stanley Tucci?

When I make spaghetti, it doesn't matter if I am exhausted and use a jar of sauce or if I am actually taking the time and making good sauce, I pour the sauce in the pot of cooked noodles and stir it all together. I know this is wrong. I have been told by many this is not correct, and I am aware. That said, I like it and I will continue to do it.

I often put pasta in a pot of water before it comes to a boil. I've heard that this is very wrong, but it usually comes out right.

this IS technically how I bathe.

I try my best to follow the rules set forth by FMs Pepin, and Child. Carry on sharing your atrocities.
I'll alert Ringo if an intervention is needed.

I read he was a shitty tipper, so he should be worried about what we think of him. Cheapness is the fucking worst, especially when you can afford not to be.

Essential Everyday is my jam and I don't give two shits what anyone thinks about it.

I finish scrambled eggs with a teaspoon of marmalade, and anyone who doesn't like it can get fucked.

you sir, are a monster.

I break my spaghetti (or any long noodles) in half before dropping them in boiling water. I recently found out you shouldn't do this.

But I'm not breaking out my stock pot just for spaghetti.

This is much preferred to putting a pile of sauce atop a pile of plain noodles; THAT is the real mangiacake move.
