Of course, I'm Canadian, so I'd have to defend my own country's
maple syrup as superior, but I'm sure Vermont's is quite adequate
for the ordinary palate ;-).

I can handle the sauce part fairly well (having spent a few
long Saturdays carefully simmering them from fresh tomatoes),
and I like to think I have some modicum of skill, but this is
the first time I've heard the *water* might have an effect.
Now I know I'm but an amateur.

What kind of water is just right?  I've lived in Guelph, Ontario,
much of my life, where the water is extremely hard but very 
little treated and so relatively devoid of mystery chemicals.
Pray tell, where must I go for the water I need to improve
the state of my pasta?  Will only bottled Italian water combine
in the right way with the One True Durum Wheat? :-)
