WTF Is Life All About Anyway?

That is the question I was asking myself as I was driving myself home from another miserable day on the road. You see, I am a cabinet refacing salesman, like it or not –And I don’t like it. Today, I heard the same response three separate and distinct times. “No”, “No”, and “No” once more. But I asked you: “is there anything other than price that would stop you from buying today?” You said “No.” And still you said “No.” when it came time to buy. You fucking liars, you.
But I can not blame Mr. Joe Citizen for not electing to purchase my over-priced bullshit cabinet refacing. Do you know how much that shit actually costs?

You see, it’s my fault. My fault for ending up here in the first place. I chose to be here. No one put a gun to my head and said “die the slow death of a meaningless cabinet refacing salesman.” On the contrary, it was my slow, long progression of fuck ups that lead me here, and my continued incompetance which keeps me here still.
Fuck you if you think I am full of self pity. I’m just telling you like it is. Maybe this is my epiphany — Did you ever think of that?

I know this website is called the Italian Cooking Club, and right about now you are thinking “WTF does this have to do with Italian cooking, anyway?” I’ll tell you what it has to do with Italian cooking, nothing. And I really don’t give a shit because it’s my website.
Look, here’s the point: Life must be taken by the balls. It must be tackled, mastered, conquered, devoured and any other bullshit verb you can think of.

Selling (or failing to sell) cabinet refacing to people in order to feed my family has taught me this great lesson. VERITAS. The truth. You have to look in the mirror and see the truth about yourself, or else you are doomed for sure. What’s your truth?

So when I show up at your front door with two big bags full of cabinet door samples, remember one thing: You can go ahead and tell me “no”, but I know the truth. And the truth is, I know where you live.

VERITAS.

Italian Cooking On A Caloric Budget Or How To Eat Italian Food Without Getting Fat

admin — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 15:06:23 +0000

The holidays are long gone. Valentines day will be here any minute. There is an extra five or ten pounds we picked up along the way and we still haven’t figured out how to loose weight without starving ourselves. I refuse to eat junk diet foods that taste horrible. Or have one of those meal plans delivered to my house. That may be well and good, but it ruins your social life — Trust me.

No, I choose to eat great Italian food (in moderation) and still achieve my goal of loosing those unwanted pounds.
I already know your first question which is ‘Isn’t pasta fattening?” Well yes, if you eat a barrel full of it. Pu a cup or cup and a half a dinner time will be just fine. If you ever have the opportunity to go to Italy. One of the first things you will notice is that there are hardly any fat people walking around. That is because Italians eat a very balance and well rounded diet. Sure they start out with a SMALL Dish of pasta, but they also est a lot of vegetables and proteins all in reasonable portions.
So if you want to loose weight and you want to have a life, do what the Italians do. Eat a great Italian balanced meal. Don’t skimp on what you eat, just moderate the amount of each course. Take a nice half our walk after dinner and you will be amazed at the progress.

Welcome To Ciao Paolo’s Italian Cooking Club!
