Apart from going out with Darren to get shopping I have had the whole day in today, and most of it working on a quilted table cover that I started some time ago. I made a few errors along the way but actually finished it at about 4.30 pm. I still have the sewing debris to clear away as I have been getting tea for us all, and that is another story!
When Darren and I were shopping I bought some measuring cups, as the recipe I had been sent to make your own pasta without a machine was written in cups. I really struggled with it as it was a bit vague, two eggs and oil. but not the size or amount, so I ended up kneading for ages and was still not convinced it would be a dough that would roll well. I did make it, and so far the three of us have survived, but buying it seems an easier option at the moment!
When Tina and I were in town on Thursday we got a cupcake and muffin book so I made some peanut butter ones! No picture and we haven't tried them yet, the mixture was pretty tasty though! Best go and put things away before I trip over them and do myself a mischief!
Very brave to make the pasta without the machine, I'm sure the fresh ones are far more tasty than shop bought. Well done. Xx. The table cover is ver attractive, lovely colour.
ReplyDeleteMay try making pasta again some time - when I have recovered from the effort! x
