Cooking up Stories - 1

Pranav and Shantanu's Experiments with Cook :
Normally - both try and avoid cooking. And our only claim to fame in the kitchen till today, has been heating the Pizza's in an oven & relishing them to the hearts contents!

Today Pranav's enthu got us as far as the grocery shop - Target 1 reached.
After a lot of brainstorming, we decided that (for confidential reasons) Sauce Napolitaine was better Sauce Sicilian. Pasta - Step 2.

Brought expensive soft bread, to go with the Pasta.
Target - Cheese Sauce :
Grated cheese using a knife, :P added Mirchi Powder for flavour, kept in a plastic container and into the microwave. 2 mins later - container has warped, cheese has mostly evaporated and mirchi powder gives a murderous intent.
Mission Aborted.

As a night sortie, we decide to move on to more achievable targets - Boil Water. Bonus targets - do it incident free :P, detect when the water is boiling appropiately.
5 mins later, speculations of steamy movements are spotted by aerial eyes, on the plains of water. Quickly moving in, Pranav makes an expert manoeuvre to rain down a stream of Oil, on the surface. Bonus targets achieved. Mission Aims updated.

As per instructions, from Wing Men, who have done this operation before, and more specifically Mohammad, the pasta is sliced at exactly at points indicated. The smaller part, as expected falls to ground into boiling water. 2 pairs of eyes, make remote observations as the resistance weakens and softness sets in. Smiling contently, the two make mental note of their c(r)uisine hours.

In a post-op log :
Pasta was well made, although not as tasty. Dollops of pickle had to me made, so that no Italian or for that matter European, would think it was a pasta. A hi5 later, our heroes close another experiment.
