Haha. Yearning, it is a way to test if the pasta is done cooking. You take a piece of spaghetti and throw it against the wall. If it is done it will stick to the wall and if it isn't done yet it will fall to the floor. It's the fun way to find out when it's cooked. Definitely don't throw the sauce on the wall! lol I find that much of life is really trial and error so you just have to see what sticks. You are going to be okay. You're very bright and I bet talented too.
