| Picture if you will a man on a hill. He looks straight ahead, nothing will be said. Taking no advice he shakes his head twice. Once finally set he glares at the threat. With object in hand, he does just as planned. He gives it his all, he waits for the call. He pauses but then, he does it again. Since two did no harm, the third is the charm. |

After digging to a depth of 100 meters last year, Russian scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network one thousand years ago.
So, not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, American scientists dug 200 meters and headlines in the US papers read: “US scientists have found traces of 2000 year old optical fiber, and have concluded that their ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital telephone 1000 years earlier than the Russians.” One week later, Jacob Zuma, President of South Africa reported the following: “After digging as deep as 500 meters, South African scientists have found absolutely nothing. They concluded that 5000 years ago… their ancestors were already using wireless technology.” |

Apparently we have been cooking pasta all wrong.
Enjoy!
Harold McGee, author of Keys to Good Cooking: A Guide to Making the Best of Foods and Recipes, shares a handy way to speed your pasta dinner along. Plus it’s ecofriendly!
Most traditional recipes for making pasta tell you to start out with lots and lots of water and heat it up to the boil before you add the pasta. Turns out that you don’t need to do that. You can save a lot of time, a lot of water, a lot of energy by starting out with cold water and a frying pan. Put the pasta in the frying pan. Pour a quart and a half or so of water on top of the pasta. Turn on the heat and, because the pasta is cold, the pasta won’t stick to itself at the very beginning. When it’s done you have pasta that’s perfectly cooked and you have a thickened liquid that you can use to make all kinds of sauces.
