Washing Up
Do not serve " long, stringy noodles with sauce, such as spaghetti, linguini, angel hair, etc.," Break then in thirds of fourths before cooking-- much more manageable.

My mother did that when we were kids. I think that is a good idea for children or for anyone with motor control problems. I guess it's useful for anyone who doesn't want to make the effort to eat carefully. It is some people's preference to have shorter pieces of long pasta. Also, someone might be cooking the pasta in a smaller pot, so shorter pasta is easier to get into the pot. But an unqualified "Do not serve", hmm.
Yes indeed: cover those pots. As those daring nighttime paddles, know this: even if a 1000-foot freighter can see you, there's not a damn thing he can do about it. When marine architects design 100-foot freighters, making them so they can turn on a dime in not Job One.Chief's Tip of the Day
It is best to paddle your canoe across a busy river, where lake freighters run up and down every fifteen minutes or so, in the daytime. Trying to cross in the dark of night, with no flashlights aboard, makes for some seriously vigorous paddling when a 1000 foot freighter is bearing down on you, and you know the pilot can't see you. I speak from experience.
Cooking tip: Save yourself time and money by covering pots of liquid that are supposed to be brought to a boil. We often forget the little things when in the middle of a large cooking job, be it in the home, or elsewhere.
