my stupid uncultured revelation:
match ur pasta to what ur putting the pasta in
is the food/sauce w a spoon? the pasta shape should be good to east w a spoon
is the food eaten w a fork? fork and knife? pasta that's easy to cut/eat w a fork
First day of classes and my only social interaction so far was with a grower who was just trying to spread the word of his business so I'd say it's going really well
