About
In May of 2010, some towns in Massachusetts were under a boil water order because a pipe carrying water from Quabbin reservoir burst, exposing our drinking water to potentially harmful elements. This recipe shows how difficult it is to make a meal while having to boil water for everything (washing dishes, rinsing vegetables, making ice, etc.)
