The pasta will cook in the pan with a lid on and should be left for an extra minute until it's ready. European governments and some businesses have since implemented various measures to try to reduce power consumption ahead of winter.

My first bites of bánh cuốn were hardly intentional — they came from a banh mi shop tucked in Houston’s Third Ward. I’d been working at a day care, and also a stadium’s parking company, and most of what I ate came from this tiny Vietnamese spot. Several weeks after that he just handed me a bag of boxed bánh cuốn, with separate tins for fish sauce and bean sprouts, alongside an edict: enough. Eating streetside bánh cuốn in the morning, in the hubbub of other diners, over a stool and folding table, is basically a miracle. The thickness of your bánh cuốn might vary from restaurant to restaurant, and also your fillings, but you’ll still find yourself won over from iteration to iteration.

That’s never ever going to happen, though, so it’s a good thing I use a moka pot. Specifically, the Cuisinox Roma stainless steel stovetop moka pot, a superior choice that I wish I’d found sooner. Moka pots are easy to use. The Cuisinox Roma is also dishwasher-safe, unlike aluminum moka pots, and induction-compatible. I’ve had my Cuisinox Roma for six years and counting, and no issues so far.

My manager saw that I had bartending on my résumé from the yacht club and asked if I wanted to start bartending.
