I haven't read LJ in like five days, since three of them were spent driving to Montreal and back and we don't generally like being down here on the computers when enotsola's stepdad is occupying the TV, so forgive me if I skim with extreme prejudice. If I appear to have missed something you wanted me to see, please to point it out.

Speaking of Montreal, duh, he got approved for the visa. We now get to dive headfirst into logistics. No, we have not set any dates (nor locations) for either the move or the wedding. Please don't ask. More information as it happens, but don't expect anything complicated. We are not going to have "a wedding" as such.

We would, however, appreciate recommendations for custom jewelers, because we have crazy ideas about wedding rings that are not going to be solved by any conventional jewelry. (For starters, no interest in yellow gold. We were actually looking into titanium at one point, but I'm not sure it agrees with me energetically for this purpose.)

Many of his other results, however, can be applied to everyday cooking. He says that adding oil to water while cooking spaghetti does not prevent the different strands from sticking together - unless you use very little water and litres of oil.

Er, what? I always add a little oil because it helps keep the starchy froth from boiling over. I never heard that it was supposed to make the pasta not stick to itself (which, no, oil in the water doesn't do).
