First experience with making spaghetti (true story).

I was 18. Wanted to make spaghetti. Bought a box of Ronzoni No. 2 Spaghetti.

Followed directions that were on the back of the box.

It said :

Bring large pot of water to a rolling boil. Drop in Spaghetti, cook 12 to 13 minutes or until al dente (whatever the heck al dente was).

So what does Melody do?? She puts a big pot of water on the stove. She brings it to a rolling boil. She takes the box of spaghetti and she puts the box in the water.

Know what happens to a box of spaghetti in a big pot of water???

Not pretty!!!!

No where did it say on the box 'TAKE OUT SPAGHETTI AND DROP INTO WATER"
