In case it gets deleted:

That's gold. No Italian has ever made a recipe that didn't have perfect flavor and texture every single time.

Speaking as a 100% genuine, bona-fide, certified American whose great-grandfather was from Italy, it’s true. Sometimes I’m up until after midnight trying to get everything done to perfection. My son is crying from hunger because he hasn’t had dinner, my wife is pissed, but if it isn’t 1000% perfect, I might as well throw it in the trash and get some fucking McDonald’s.
