Dear Liz,

You have known since about the age of seven that pasta shells (you know, the hollow ones) fill up with boiling water when cooking. Thus, if you bite into one to see if it's cooked, the boiling water transfers itself to your mouth. And the thing about boiling water is that it's, well, boiling. Do you think you could stop doing it ?

Thanks
Liz

And irrelevantly, ( can someone recommend me a decent whodunnit? )
