    I really love it when Michelle said while eating pasta, "I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little proud of myself".. Its like telling you that validation or encouragement coming from oneself is enough to keep you motivated in doing the things you want or love. 😍😍

      She shouldn't use oil, nor wine when cooking the guanciale (not pancetta), do not put in herbs and the she needs tomato sauce not sliced tomatoes; when the water boils you need to put in some salt or else the pasta sticks.... But the pasta you made came out pretty good it seemed, it's just not amatriciana!!!! try again! you're great

    My brother did the google certicate thing and he said it's pretty rigorous, especially if you don't have any experience in what you want to change your career to. They say they absolutely do not alow you to miss any of the lectures or tests but if you show that you're a good student and haven't missed any for a while and u happen to be sick, they might let u off the hook once, but wouldn't plan on it just in case. It's going to be supperrr tough if u already have a full time job, but it's definitely doable. And the career coach u get he said is pretty awesome and helpful!

    • @TheSilverpictures
      @TheSilverpictures 3 роки тому +22

      I am currently doing the Google UX design certificate course, I agree it is rigorous, the content is quite heavy and takes some time to get through it. But, at least for my certification even if I miss a deadline I had the option to extend it and submit my assignment regardless. Also the entire course is pre-recorded and I do not have a career coach or a mentor.
      Pro Tip- If you have some free time on your hands and can give 1-2hrs to the course at least 5 times a week you can complete it within 2-3 months, I have a full time job and I am currently on my 7th month and will need another month to complete the course. Plan accordingly. :)

      @@TheSilverpictures thank you for adding on to the comment! 😀 Yeah I would assume each course is a little different so I think this comment will definitely be a help to many! But overall sounds like an amazing opportunity for those seeking to change careers but might not necessarily have the time or budget to go back to school. Good luck to all who are pursuing this!❤️

      I did the data analytics course from Google Career Certification and it was easy. I did it while doing a part time job and college. If you miss a deadline, they let you restart the due date. It does get harder as it goes on but sounds like it’s one of the more easy courses. Btw, I was able to get a job as a data analyst right after (not through google directly but by what they taught me).

    @desidaam5120 3 роки тому +4

    Hey mesh I’m italian, your pasta looks good but it’s definitely not an amatriciana. To make amatriciana you need to use tomato sauce, the pasta is supposed to have a lot of sauce. Also the secret to make a good amatriciana pasta is to let the sauce cook as long as you can, my mom let it cooks for at least 1 hour.
    First you sauté with olive oil the onions and the guanciale until the onions get yellow, then you add the sauce with some water and let it cook, then when the pasta is ready you need a good amount of pecorino Romano (if you can’t find it you can also use parmigiano reggiano) to give that extra flavor.
    A big kiss from Rome 😘

Then add the pancetta and cook together, finally mix it with the pasta and sprinkle some Parmigiano on top.

    Love your videos so much! Especially appreciate the creativity in the shots-like the footage of you sitting in the subway!
