Please do Jo and then will you recook it and let us know if it is like
it was the first time it was cooked? Scott in CA .....
JO Wrote ...What I want to know - when you have finishing experimenting
of course - is whether, if you leave the cooked spaghetti on a plate to
dry again, it goes back to its original dry weight?

What really gets me is that WW classes 1 cup of cooked pasta as small
serve - I'm hard pressed eating 1/2 cup!

But what does it weigh? Does it weigh less? Perhaps that is the answer
to
eating more and not cheating snorfle

Shona who actually likes cooked then re-dried spaghetti in NZ

No need. Ive left sketties in the colander to dry out overnight so they
are
easier to remove.... they return to a slightly smaller size than
original.

Scientific Experiment (long), not OT

(Kate=A0T.)
I decided years ago not to bother with raveling, I use my serger. Yes
it takes a little time to serge all the raw edges, BUT it is less time
than clipping all those raveled edges. Less of a cleanup also.

And to make removing the serger stitches even quicker, you can make a
sandwich of the FQs, serge once around, and only have to remove one run
of stitching after washing.
Anything for a quickie!

I am a dedicated pre-washer and have been interested in the threads
about clipping corners to keep fabric from raveling (unraveling?) in the
wash. Today I acquired 22 FQs and decided to make an experiment out of
the washing process.

No wait, I already don't pre-wash. Right then, nothing to see here,
move along, move along.


I don't pre-wash either. I like the washed wrinkly look when things
shrink after the quilting.

Cea, that's a GROSS VIOLATION of the Too-Easy Rule!

Only the larger forms of pasta go in the lingerie bag. Sketties and smaller
sneak out thru the holes in the bag. Manicotti will not.

On my server this showed up right after Amy's spaghetti on the ceiling

You can guess the bizarre image I got in my head!

The bait is sooooo tempting. But my last experiment was with free FQs; remember
I said I had "acquired" them?

I'll have to set up a whole research team to "acquire" the flannels. But, then I
could pay them with the chocolates you would send. This is going to take a while
to sort out.

[Polly, don't hold your breath, or your project, waiting for the results of this
next scientific experiment.]

You took the bait so willingly Anne. I now await the results of
your Fantastic Flannel FQ Experiment. If it happens before August,
you get British chocolate. After that date, you get Russian
chocolate.
