Okay. You know all of those cooking tips that suggest that pasta be boiled "with water as salty as the sea"? Lies! All lies! I cooked up a bunch of pasta the other day with some newly-mixed Red Sea water (and to a 1.026 SG, natch), and it was far too salty. I must say that my epicurial expectations were simply crushed. I offer my experience as today's Public Service announcement.
