Still figuring out this cooking, thing, but I'm learning to do spaghetti (yes, it's boiling water, but I have this weird phobia about cooking. Gives me panic attacks, so I'm taking things slow.)

Everything was fine until it came time to drain the pasta.. dumping into the strainer, some of the water splashed up and hit my fingers. Sonofabitch! Stood with my fingers in ice for a little bit. No blisters, just a little redness.

The spaghetti (or as like to call it, piles of parmesan cheese with occasional strands of pasta) was good.

Pointless update finished.

for one of those combination pasta pot/drainer things. The pasta goes into the 'drainer', which is actually a liner that fits into the pot. When time's up, lift out the 'drainer'. No pouring until later, when you drain the pot itself, which can be left to cool until then. It's on the list of things I want for my 'singularity' shower.
