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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

you need to add salt to the boiling water, but if you are trying to cut your sodium intake don't do this. also please make pasta sauce from scratch. don't buy pre mixed, just buy plain "passata" and add your own stuff. its a million times better.
As someone who frequently makes sauce from scratch, a hunk of ground beef or Italian sausage and a jar of Rao's will absolutely get the job done on a busy weeknight when I can't be bothered with chopping up a bunch of veggies. Plain passata and your own stuff is not "a million times better".
It's literally only better if you have skill and, imo, time. You can't make a good tomato sauce in like 10min from scratch, fight me
Right, it takes most home cooks ten minutes just to mince the garlic and dice an onion, carrot, and celery for mirepoix
So you want the person who can't even cook pasta to do his own sauce?
I don't remember the exact numbers (and am not a doctor) but the vast majority of the average person's daily sodium intake comes from processed foods, not home cooking.
Yup. Table salt or spice mixes are usually nothing compared to the frozen food that's 30% of your daily intake per serving.
