om...
I have twin kithen sinks, the right with a garbage disposal. I had a
pot of plain (no sauce etc.. ) cooked pasta that I decided to get rid
of. I ran water while running the disposal unit, but then I noticed
that the water was starting to block up. I removed all the ground up
pasta from the unit, but still the water will not drain. The left
kitchen sink is draining fine.
I tried a toilet plunger, but( and here's the big clue probably), the
water squirts out of the aerator. I opened the cap of the aerator. It
has a central copper pipe, but the water ( when I use the plunger
slowly ) is welling up on the outside of the copper pipe, not from
within it.
Help from the pro's please ... what do I do? Any easy way out of this?

If you don't have it unclogged yet, get Liquid Plumber (drain cleaner) and
follow directions. Now for the cause of the problem. Today's sink faucets
have flow restrictors and don't really let enough water flow to make a thin
enough slush to go down the drain. The solution is to "spoon feed" the
disposal to make sure each small batch is completely through before adding
more. It took 4 clogs in 2 weeks before I finally convinced my wife after
remodeling the kitchen. That was 2 years ago, and not a single clog since.
