  • My kids of 7 and 10 ride to school through the city (it’s about a mile away, but my daughter went to another school 3 miles away before.
    When we got to this new school, I rode with them for a month using different routes and shouting “look left”, “stop here”, as they weren’t looking. Once they were able to lead me to school and back without complaints from mybside for a few times, I let them do it themselves. We just take turns kicking them out in the morning to ensure they’re on time. It works, and they will grow into independent people.
    I was cycling wherever the fuck I wanted when I was a kid. I’m fine.
    For the context, we’re in Denmark, and I’m originally from Russia

    Oh, thank you for providing me with this rare knowledge. But what happens while you boil pasta, is pasta turning around and soaking the oil in. I wouldn’t be doing that if it wouldn’t help with pasta stickiness.
    And as other people comment here, oil gets into pasta so you can have a problem with sauce not soaking in, but when I’m making something like bolognese, I sometimes pour pasta into the frying pan with the sauce, so it’s getting there for sure.

    You can add some oil so pasta won’t also stick when you have cold leftovers. I add both oil and salt in the very beginning, because there’s no reason to not do that, and I have a feeling of the right amount compared to the amount of water.
    And I stir once, about a minute after putting the pasta in, because something tends to stick to the bottom in the very beginning. Afterwards, it’s just not necessary.
