Bucatini all’Amatriciana Recipe

A Classic Roman Dish - Bucatini all'Amatriciana Like many of you, Meg and I watched the Stanley Tucci special on CNN called Searching for Italy. In the Rome episode, he has lunch at Armando Al Pantheon to enjoy their famous rigatoni all'amatriciana, one of Rome's famous pastas. I made it a little different and call it bucatini all'Amatriciana. Of course I had to run out and buy the ingredients so we could make it at home. Not a lot of ingredients and very simple to prepare and absolutely delicious. Let's look at some of the ingredients. Bucatini Bucatini is a pasta that looks a lot like spaghetti but it is thicker and has a whole running down through the strand.

Who’s Afraid of Vrinda Woolwalla?

Text by Harsh Aditya Images by Naveed Hussain It’s late December when my best friend Firoz and I arrive in Calcutta. After a brutal breakup (him) and increasingly frequent episodes of emotional breakdowns (me), we decided to make a quick escape to the city of our dreams before being catapulted back to our respective semesters in Delhi and Guwahati. I guess we had imagined that our tears would feel more poignant against the backdrop of Tagore and romantic Indo-Saracenic architecture. “Remember the friend I was talking about on the train today? I’ve asked her to join us for tea,” I tell him while we’re getting ready in our homestay. “Remember?! Lawl. My ears are burning from hearin...

Academy Awards commentary: CODA and Will Smith supply memorable Oscar moments – The Washington Post

For all of those newsworthy breakthroughs, however, and despite the fact that people were happy to be back in the Dolby Theatre after a two-year hiatus due to covid, the most memorable moment was Will Smith’s bizarre physical and verbal assault on presenter Chris Rock after Rock told a joke at the expense of Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. The onstage ambush, which initially felt staged as a gag, left the live and home audiences in stunned, what-just-happened disbelief. Moments later, when a simultaneously defiant and contrite Smith won an Oscar for his leading role in “King Richard,” he tearfully noted how life was imitating art, referring to his real-life character Richard Williams, father of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams, whom Smith described as “a fierce defender of his f...

Theres a Depressing Link Between Where You Live And Dementia Risk – ScienceAlert

A population-based study in Australia has found that the quality of your neighborhood can be linked to the risk of developing dementia later in life. The research was based on the health data of 4,656 individuals from various states and regions between 2016 and 2020, as part of a larger study called the Healthy Brain Project. These participants were between the ages of 40 and 70, and none of them had been formally diagnosed with dementia.   Breaking down the results, the authors found those who lived in wealthier neighborhoods scored significantly higher on memory tests and lower on dementia risk tests than those who live in disadvantaged areas. The differences were especially large among older adults and individuals with higher dementia scores. "Together, these data suggest that per...
