it's super easy to make homemade pasta. takes a bit of kneading, a bit of resting, and semolina flour. once you're over that: you realize how ridiculous it is that we all eat dried pasta, or pay $4/$5 a pound for fresh stuff.
Happy October! These muffins are delightfully Fall-ish, perfect for the brisk weather we've been having this week. It got down into the 30's last night!

I decided to make a pound cake on Friday -- my first time baking a cake from scratch. How hard could it be?
Espresso and walnut cake from Julian Day's book Classic Artisan Baking, frosted with a homemade ricotta (yep, I made the ricotta too)-mocha frosting and dusted with cocoa.

If there was ever a time to make candy that boosts your immunity, now is the time! FYI you do not need a MagicalButter machine to make these gummies: www.suziethefoodie.com/how-to-make-your-own-candy-diy-imm...
Very happy with how this turned out..it's a very smooth feeling soap and I love the color from the carrot juice (I wonder if it will fade a bit as it cures). This is unscented, however the wheat germ oil scent is pretty prominent right now, smells
good!
the frosting is my own recipe, not really measured... just tasted as i went a long.
8 ounce cream cheese softened
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
about 2-3 cups confectioner's sugar
about 1 cup chopped and finely chopped pecans
beat cream cheese and butter together
add vanilla and sugar
beat until combined and fluffy
stir in pecans
made enough for 24 cupcakes with a little left over

**No bananas were harmed in the creation of this icing or cake.
Do you like the taste of Banana Popsicles? How about Banana Medicine? Or those Marshmallows that are hard and yellow and sort of shaped like a Banana?
Do you love and respect bananas too much to eat them?
