Geez, this reminds me of the time a new bride asked us over for
supper. I walked into her kitchen and nearly shrieked. She'd put a
whole pound of spaghetti into a pan with all of an inch of water. It
stood in a bundle against the side of the pot. I couldn't believe
she'd never seen spaghetti cooked or read the side of the box. After
my lecture, she added a lot more water - before it turned into a
sodden mass. I have always been tempted to replicate this operation
at home, just to see what happens. Maybe she thought the spagh.
absorbed the steam or sumthin.

That marriage didn't last, by the way.
