The Unbearable Lightness of Being Hungry | A Sydney Food Blog

Spaghetti a la The Apartment

November 26th, 2007  |  Published in Uncategorized


Being a tragic multi-tasker, I’m watching The Apartment while I’m blogging. And I couldn’t let this food-related exchange between Baxter (Jack Lemmon) and Fran (the very spunky Shirley Maclaine) pass by.

FRAN: What’s a tennis racquet doing in the kitchen?
BAXTER: Tennis racquet? Oh, I remember! I was cooking myself an Italian dinner.
FRAN looks confused.
BAXTER: I used it to strain the spaghetti.
FRAN (thinks about it and then concedes): Why not?
BAXTER: As a matter of a fact, I’m a pretty good cook. Only I’m a lousy housekeeper.

About

Hi, I'm Lee Tran Lam. When not blogging with my mouth full, I'm usually writing, presenting Local Fidelity on FBi radio, making zines, producing podcasts or continually breaking promises about how I really am gonna get through my book pile one day.

All the good pictures on this blog are by photography ace (and patient boyfriend), Will Reichelt, (all the dodgy ones can be credited to me)!

The lovely banner is by friend and ultra-talented illustrator Grace Lee.

This site redesign was made possible by the next-level generosity and expertise of Daniel Boud, whose code-tinkering ways are only outranked by his seriously inspired way with a camera.

You can read more about my co-conspirators here.

This is a blog I do for pure fun and zero influence – there's no sponsorship, sneaky advertorial or advertising. I pay for all the food mentioned, 'cos it seems the ethical thing to do.
