So you're cooking dinner for your family. I love to cook. Kids demand spaghetti, sausages, Italian all the way. Garlic bread and so on. (Later you make your own burger. But on to the question..)
You're making the pasta. Which you like. A lot. You're about to test it. You pop one in your mouth and the LC angel in you says "you did what?" I mean, you gotto test for al dente. What to do!
You spit? Or swallow?
I had to spit. Did not make sense to risk a steady weight loss even if it was "just one little piece." It sounds weird, since I doubt if it would have made a difference. But to taste a tiny bit of what I can't have, was making less sense.
So.. whuzzup with you?
Best Regards,
Steve

i'll give you a real answer instead of attacking you with accusations of eating disorders and bad parenting (holy [censored] usenet can be sooo annoying!!) LOL
I just cut a piece of pasta in half and if I see a bit of a white core inside, just a bit - I know it is done. For the kids over-done is fine anyway I just don't want under-done so if there is too much white I keep cooking.

I just bite a bit off the end of a strand.
Plus I cook only Dreamfields.
