  • 125g per person if you only eat that, 80 to 100 if you eat something else too

    Good brands you can usually find outside of italy with not outrageous prices are Rummo and Garofalo, less good but still okay, and at a generally lower price, you can usually find Voiello or De Cecco

    Barilla is the most common, but outside of their spaghetti I’m not a big fan

    There are a bunch of others, but these tend to be easier to find

    That’s all, thank you for coming to my TED talk



  • Giorgia Meloni is trying to position herself as a mediator between America and Europe, which honestly I think is a fool’s errand, but it is in line with her Atlanticist foreign policy.
    I would have personally preferred a real, firm, statement towards Ukraine’s support but until we’ll have people like Salvini - a Putin’s lover - and his ‘Lega Nord’ party in the government it is infeasible to expect it.

    At the same time FdI (Meloni’s party) has historically been pretty pro-ukraine, so I will be very surprised if something is not going to happen in the next few days.

    Remember that this quote is from Crosetto, the current Minister of Defence, just a few days ago: “Peace, however, must not mean humiliating a free people who have done nothing but die and sacrifice to defend themselves.”

    I’m not in line with their national policies - by a wide margin - but currently Meloni’s party and the Partito Democratico are the only pro-ukraine voices in Italian politics with some weight

    It’s depressing.


  • While she has not been named in the police statement about the arrest, it is believed to be Bonnie Spofforth

    This, I don’t like. If you - the newspaper, the means of information - are not sure about a name you should really refrain from using it.

    It would be not the first time people get their lives ruined by some careless journalist because of a namesake or just an error.

    It’s not that different from “spreading rumors”.

    That aside, in this case, it is probably a rumor from an inside source. Still. Not a fan.
