Can we save the world by cooking pasta more economically? You can certainly save a few pennes. Read about it in my recent article in National Geographic. (You'll need to enter an email address but don't need a paid subscription)

last day of term  daffodils yellowing  in the breeze #haiku #micropoetry

I stop running  the wind  rushing past me #haiku

outstretched fingers  the first buds  of spring #haiku

owl hoots  echoes in the hollow sky #haiku

hands in gloves  the cormorant slips  into the river #haiku

@whiptailjournal along the bypass bumper to bumper dandelions

@thenewsmovement @LaMiaMammaLND @EmmaLBentley @nehagohil24 Thanks so much for picking up on our article. I totally agree with the chefs... I'd always rather eat their delicious looking home made pasta than the energy efficient pre-soaked pasta

slap of the skateboards  I slip my phone  into my pocket #haiku #slabsquare

peck, pick, peck  watching the girl watching  the pigeons #haiku

pushing through  the darkness  crocus morning #haiku

@IgniteFutures @NTUSciTech Thanks so much for coming in. It was a really good session, and great to see the students rise to the challenge

@EqtNet @JoePajak @ConversationUK What about pre-soaking the pasta. This saves even more time.
