I had a strange thought the other day while cooking spaghetti. Recently, I organized a retreat for confirmation students at an area camp. We were in charge of cooking our own meals. The Saturday dinner was spaghetti and there was this conversation between a couple of the otyher adults about how to cook spaghetti. The other day while I was cooking, I recalled this conversation and it reminded me of some of the conversations on this board.
Probably for every person you ask there will be a different procedure of cooking spaghetti. Some will break it while others will cook it whole. Some will add oil to the water while some will say that it doesn't keep the spaghetti from sticking or that the sauce will "fall off" of the pasta if it is cooked with oil. Some will insist that it must be rinsed in hot water and others will demand that it be rinsed in cold water. Some say that adding salt to the water will help it boil quicker while others insist that it takes longer for salt water to boil.
Sound to me like a bunch of Lutherans trying to cook spaghetti!:doh: ^_^
