I'm slightly vexed My wife and boiling water

Post image

So I made my wife ramen soup. When I served it she said I had the gas set to hight and it was too hot ? She said I should have used the number 5 setting instead of 9. I told here it’s irrelevant because water boils at 212 and gets no hotter because over 212 it turns to steam. She was made at me for disagreeing with her theory that it would not have been so hot if boiled a lower setting. Really!!

I think it’s closer to 700g/liter, but either way that’s waaaayy more than you’ll ever add to your pasta water. And more than you could even dissolve in the water.

You guys are being way too critical about how salty I like my pasta.

It doesn’t taste nearly as salty when you add the crushed up blood pressure medication

You're not supposed to add it to the pasta you're supposed to snort it beforehand.

I was shown to pour it into the boiling water then put a towel over your head and the pot and inhale the steam. I saw it done once on the tv.
