We’re all right about pasta cooking

I do what she does and I firmly believe pasta is the dandelion of food: no matter how you treat it, it ends up quite nice.

That is not true, pasta can be very bad. I had someone make spaghetti for me, and the outside was mushy while the middle was raw.

...This is an awful skill to have, but an impressive one. Have you witnessed how they did it? I'm curious.

As long as it's not al dente i'm cool with how you cook it.

Not al dente? What is the alternative? Mushy?

Not al dente so basically anything else on the rock to mush spectrum

Mush is gross like when it absorbs too much water. There’s an amazing window where it’s not hard to bite into but not mushy, like rice

Fine line right? I don’t know it’s a gender issue always though. I take certain routes from place to place. I might like the view, or there’s something about a road or off ramp I like. I might prefer a longer route that takes the same time as a shorter one- but you are constantly moving or going higher speed than a stop and go route that is shorter. Sometimes I take a longer route because I know the short route has an unprotected left turn- and I prefer to avoid those where possible. The missus does not like this. The law of most computer programs/OS is that if you watch a random person long enough- they’ll annoy you. “Why do they go here to do this instead of there?” “Why don’t they use hot keys?” “Why do they tab through all the fields instead of shift+tabbing back up..?” And so on.

We all have our ways of doing things- they might not be the way others would- or the way most places would teach to do it- but maybe we prefer the method or the result? There is a certain insecurity in assuming that someone trying to be helpful is undermining your intelligence- but due to society traditionally treating women as helpless or ignorant... a certain sensitivity to the perception that you are being “mansplained” to is understandable.

Very rarely my partner will accuse me of mansplaining- usually she will ask a question like “why are you setting up that electronic device in that location?” And I will say something like: “it generates heat. It needs room for air to circulate..” she may get upset (rarely) and say I am “mansplaining” and of course she knows electronics make heat etc... so I will gently say to her- “I am not mansplaining. You asked a question with one answer. If you knew the answer- why did you ask if that isn’t the answer you wanted?” So I mean... yeah... if someone sees you trying to put a fork in an electrical outlet or something that implies you don’t know something- even a basic thing... they might feel the need to mention it. But men should be mindful that our well meaning can sometimes be a trigger because of other social issues.
