The first time my friend Jean learned how to cook spaghetti she did a lot of guessing.
She was out camping with some Girl Scouts.
There were no cookbooks available.
The trail pack excluded cooking instructions for spaghetti.
She had seen her mother cook spaghetti before but never really paid attention.
She told the girls to boil a pot of water.
Then, she instructed them to break the spaghetti noodles in half and put them in a pot.
