I love to make my own pasta.
The pasta dough has to be rolled very thinly. You should be able to see your skin through it when you place the rolled pasta over your hand.
The amount here will give me two dinners for 3 people (6 portions) I tend to stick to tagliatelle or angel hair pasta as I don't have a pasta machine, its easy to roll and slice. (I think Santa maybe bringing me a pasta machine???) one must be careful when one opens cupboards or maybe Hublets should hide things better hahahahahaha.
There are a few different recipes for pasta doughs, each region of Italy has their own way of making it. Some simply just use 00 flour and water. I prefer it with eggs and an equal amount of 00 Flour and Semolina and little Extra Virgin olive oil. The semolina helps the sauce stick to the pasta and the Extra Virgin Olive Oil makes it lovely to roll. Only a tiny bit of Extra Virgin Olive oil is needed, you get a smooth finish when you've kneaded it and rolled into a ball.. Wrap it up in clingfilm and it will keep in the fridge for 7 days.
The taste is sensational. The dough takes 10=15 minutes to make, you need to knead it though, kneading is important, great for the arms.
Its that simple, place it in the fridge and cut off the amount needed and roll it out, cut it into strips and place into boiling water until desired texture. Drain, and add a little of the pasta water to your sauce.
Yesterday my sauce was sliced garlic, anchovy fillets in oil, some dried chilli peppers all cooked in the anchovy oil and a knob of butter. As I cooked the pasta I threw in some broccoli heads. I then tossed them in the anchovy sauce and served the pasta and sauce with grated parmesan cheese. simple. perfect. tasty.
Served with flagons of wine... hahahaha

We don't see the Rufous-sided Towhees very often because they are rather shy birds, keeping mostly to the edge of clearings where cover is close by. However, like this male, sometimes they do come out into the open for short spells, to forage under feeders.
It's always great to see these handsome birds, but I just wish he'd have picked a "prettier" place for is snacking. LOL!
A year ago, I was in Calgary, Canada, producing a six hour miniseries, a new, invigorated and expansive version of Little House on the Prairie. I am still working on it in post production and the first two hours will air on ABC on March 26.
During the six months of prep and production I documented the "Making of the Movie" and posted daily images on Fotolog. I have culled through the six hundred or so images I posted during those six months and will be posting my favorites (some of them not previously posted) in the coming several weeks.
Second fawn of the season found in the back yard. After a couple of picks the fawn decided that the woods was not the place to hide so off it went. It turned the corner into the grass of the pasture and it was gone, hidden from sight.

Another shot from a visit to one of my favourite glens, there will be quite a few to follow as the deer were so accommodating.
The wild deer are almost tame in part of the glen and it is a true privilege to be able to see these beautiful deer at close quarters.
This lovely hind was very comfortable in our presence making this an extremely enjoyable experience.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.
I am having (slow) fun making a roomset for my Sindy dolls. I am using one floor of a 1980's Pedigree Sindy house but I am not using the pre-printed card walls.
I painted an extremely discoloured plastic Sindy shelf/room divider with Annie Sloan chalk paint in "Duck Egg Blue".......I am thrilled with the difference it has made to it.
