Number book and cooking

More cooking from scratch! :) Don't you love homemade pasta? It is the best. I made an entire recipe of spaghetti from scratch this weekend, sauce and all. Here's the recipe for the pasta...

Whole-wheat pasta dough

All purpose flour 1 cup

whole-wheat flour 1 cup

salt 1/2 tsp.

large eggs 2

water 1/4 cup

olive oil 1 tbsp.

Combine first 3 ingredients in large bowl. Make a well in centre.

Add remaining three ingredients to well. Mix until dough begins to come together. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Knead until ball forms. Wrap with plastic wrap and let stand for 30 minutes. divide dough in half use lots of flour to avoid sticking and cut into noodles.

I finally have a pasta maker. It has fallen apart on the third use (that's what I get for buying cheap?) so I'm waiting to buy the attachment to my kitchen aid mixer one day. :)

Have you ever picked up one of these? I did these with my girls when they were small so I needed to get one made for Mikhail.

It didn't turn out real well but I'm still happy with it. I love all the details of their hands. I pulled out Emma's from when she was about the same age and it totally brought me back to when she was little. Here's Mikhail's...

If you look closely you can see his pinkie sticking up and even see his nail in detail!

Here's the project I was talking about in my last post. I made this number book/tag book for Mikhail. He loves flipping through it. :)

And finally here's my last layout for Lotus Paperie.

thanks for peeking
