This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

My father likes to tell this tale of when he made fried spaghetti because he was a poor student and his buddy liked it so much that he asked how to make them. My father replied "Like normal spaghetti. But you fry them in a pan."

That's what he did. Instead of cooking he fried the dry spaghetti in a pan.

My dad tried frying frozen peas once. Turned the kitchen into Viet goddamn Nam. I still have flashbacks.

I actually love frozen peas because they can easily be thrown into whatever I'm currently making. Especially something like fried rice.

Of course, just frying them alone is probably pretty difficult.

Italians also do it. Although they put tomatoes in and smash them first.
