pasta!

I'm still getting used to cooking for a husband who must have carbs at every meal. Growing up, my dad didn't appreciate any meal without meat, so I suppose I assumed every man was like that. And then I married Ryan. Don't get me wrong, the guy loves a good steak, but I've found that the way to his heart is through a starchy, bready-filled stomach. Bagels, potatoes, entire rolls of Ritz crackers--he must have it. Once, he made up a song entirely about biscuits. So it was no surprise to me when he asked for a pasta maker for Christmas. We tried it out for the first time on Saturday night, and the results were quite satisfactory. That thing is fun.


       




{sidenote:: my take on the granny-chic look that's happening right now is mostly just granny.}





And when we finished our meal, Ryan even helped me clean up. That's amore'.

  1. You guys look so great in your new glasses. And that pasta looks delish! I don't think I've ever even had homemade pasta. You've got mad kitchen skills, Amelia.

  7. I love those photos--and that pasta looks good!

    i always thought pasta was really hard to make but maybe it is just me being overly nervous and not that culinary talented, especially as I tried to make gnocchi and it turned out so wrong!

  8. Thanks guys! Turns out pasta isn't that difficult, it just takes a lot of patience and some elbow grease. Both of which I let Ryan take care of. :)

    And Ana--yeah man! Let's do it!
