bicycle

Bicycle is the transport we can drive it since as a child. I still remember that I have driven my bicycle to surround the village in my childhood. Don’t know how I can drive the bicycle, because I think that are no one teach me before. In now, there are many types of bicycle and their functions are different. There are some types suitable for children drives or suitable for competition. Normally, bicycle is made up by four main parts. That is frame, front set, seat set and wheels .The bicycle have some basic design to hold up the body of bicycle. The modern and most common frame design for an upright bicycle is based on the safety bicycle, and consists of two triangles, a main triangle and a paired rear triangle. This is known as the diamond frame. Frame are made up by steel and others kind material base to their mechanical properties and physical properties. I just now know that the important we learn the subject engineering material in university. It let me know why this object will use this material to build and no the others.

How to Cook Pasta


Steps

1. Choose which pasta you want to cook. Try to pick one that well suits the sauce. It's best to take the pasta that is a brand of Italy and is made of 100% semolina.
2. Get a good sized pot depending on how much pasta you are cooking. Make sure it is big enough so the water doesn't spill when it's boiling.
3. Fill the pot up with water.
4. Turn the knob on the stove to high.
5. When the water starts bubbling up at the surface (the technical term for this is "boiling"), add up to a handful of salt anywhere. Most Americans do not add salt, whereas Italians add about a handful.
6. Dump the container of pasta into the pot but only when the water is boiling!!
7. Agitate it slightly with a long serving spoon
8. Keep your eye on it as it continues to boil and stir it just enough to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom every 1-2 minutes.
9. When it's been boiling for about 10 minutes (check the package for suggested cooking time), take a piece of the pasta out and taste it.
10. If it's too hard to bite, tastes funny when you bite it, or if you see white in the center it needs to cook a little longer.
11. When it's chewy but firm in the center, it's ready. This is referred to as al dente in Italian.
12. Empty the entire pot of pasta into a colander.
13. Shake out the excess water and then pour back into the pot.
14. Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss.
15. Cover with your favorite sauce and shake it (inside the hot pot).
16. Serve it!
