pass the pasta

Last night I tried making homemade paste with my Christmas present from dad.

Making the pasta was fairly easy, though I used the semolina, which is rather expensive and not easily found so I may have to try it with bread flour next. I tried making both the "fettucini" and "spaghetti" (they have other names but essentially that is what they are). I tried some of it just quickly boiled with olive oil and cheese. I feel like I should have rolled it thinner, but we'll try some of the spaghetti this week and see how it is.

In other news something is wrong with miss winnie and I will be taking her to the vet this evening. Lets hope its nothing too bad.
