I am the pasta goddess!


I purchased my beautiful Kitchenaid stand mixer during one of those sales that don't really save you money, but seem like such a great deal at 2:00 a.m. This was the end of June and since then I have made one attempt at bread, that was tasty, but nothing since. Inspired by my old friend, Liberty and her fellow crafty folks, I decided to make my very own, homemade pasta.



I settled on a simple egg noodle recipe included in the booklet that came with my pasta attachment and selected the macaroni maker. All in all other than the pot boiling over the first time because it was too small, they were very tasty! Nowhere near uniform or even really macaroni like in appearance, but tasty! I added a little tuna, egg and pickles and yummy macaroni, tuna salad was born.

I may even take another at some bread this weekend since it is much more time consuming.

makes I am planning to blog through the month of December, you know one of those blog everyday kind of clubs.  I like the idea of them a lot – though I’m not promising anything spectacular, because I tend to get sidetracked a lot, but I am planning to blog at least a little. I wasn’t even going to bother attempting another one of these things – the dismal failures and the guilt, the added stress from the guilt, who needs it really!?! I suppose if I actually made it all the way through I’d feel pretty awesome but it’s all good. Actually, what most excited me about this blog all the month thing was the theme – Zeitgeist – isn’t that just one of the coolest words ever? It just sounds cool.  I am thinking of adopting it as my theme for 2011 – I’m not joking, I like it that much. In case you don’t know (or haven’t googled a defintion yet) here’s an overview of the meaning from wikipedia : is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the ge...

Where I've been... well, nowhere really. I have been trying to stay off the computer and get some studying done. Obviously this is not working very well since here I am, but it is an effort. This new test I am studying for to determine whether I'm cool enough to enter the Education program at Western Washington University is scaring the pants off me. I really wish they would accept my already passing Praxis scores as I have already gone through all the freaking out, stressing out, studying and lack of sleep for that test. I don't test very well. I really never have. I am full of that panicky test anxiety right up until the professor, etc says go, and then I calm down and keep telling myself, you know this or you don't... just breathe goober. I am almost always convinced that I'm going to fail, and fail badly and I can't remember actually ever failing, but it could still happen. So, now I stay up late (because that's the only time it's quiet here) a...
