Recipe Introduction


Oh! You thought I meant ways to prepare spaghetti or recipes for using it? Well, forget that! Get those elsewhere.


List of Ingredients




1 piece of spaghetti, a part of one piece, or boxes of it, depending on need
1 match or lighter, depending on need
1 squeeze type bottle of thick glue, depending on need

Recipe



You can use spaghetti as a tester for doneness! Just use a piece (or part of a piece) of dry, uncooked spaghetti to poke into baked items instead of a toothpick, cake tester, or the old time method with a clean broom straw. If it comes out clean, it's done! It’s cheap, clean, and throw-away!

Another spaghetti trick. With a match or lighter, light one end of a piece of uncooked spaghetti and use it to light all those birthday and anniversary candles! It will reach to the middle of the cake and down into those hard to get to candles as well! Light spaghetti? Try it, it works as you’ll see!

If there are really a lot of candles, give a lighted piece of spaghetti to friends and all of you can light them quickly, without getting burned, too! And, Hey! You could even use pieces of uncooked spaghetti for the candles themselves, if in a last minute bind! (Dye them in colors? Well, yes, even that's possible!)

Of course! You can always break off the used part and save the rest of the piece for another time, too. That’s really being frugal!

Now, aren’t you glad you took the time to read this? I’ll bet you use these ideas more than once in your lifetime, and, you’ll probably pass on these tips to others, as well!

If you get the larger diameter spaghetti and some squeeze type thick glue, just lay down newspaper on the kitchen table, and let the youngsters build log houses, etc. with it. You can watch and help while doing your cooking and baking, and it will get them away from the TV for a little while, too!

Spaghetti’s not just for eating any more! Just don't burn your spaghetti at both ends!
