Pass the Pasta

フレッシュなパスタが最高!!

もう買わないメリッサが。手作りが早いと安いしやっぱこちの方がいいね ^^
自分で自分の食べ物を作ると幸せよ!ボックスパスタよりもっとやわらかいとちょっとうどんの食管みたい。やばい!作り方も簡単し「じゃ、パスタ買うか?」もう思わんよ。...会ってるかな..?
 左下から:パスタ生地、小麦粉のふるい、生パスタ麺、アルカリ水、パスタローラー
Starting from the bottom left: Pasta dough, flour sieve, raw pasta noodles, alkaline water, pasta roller

いただきます!!
あ、でも今フランス語のテスト勉強中やし「Bon Appetit!」と言おうかな?


Okay, in case I've lost all Japanese writing skills...

Homemade pasta is the best ! It's faster and cheaper, which is good :) 
To make you own food yourself is pure happiness. These noodles were softer than the box pasta you can buy at the grocery store, and it kind of had the texture of udon. (I wanted to say "chewy" but I can't remember how to ! >_<). I don't think I will ever think of buying pasta again. This was just too good ^_^

DONE !

Classes are DONE ! Term papers are DONE ! Year-long-History-course midterm is DONE ! And now I have time to be crafty :)

I did a bit of reconstructing and upcycling today. Some knitting, reading, and listening to salsa as well. It was what I longed to do all through last week when was bogged down with writing and studying. What a release !

Took an old t-shirt with formidable colours and added a bit more material from an old t-shirt to make it into a dress. I'm thinking of adjusting the shoulders too and changing the neckline to a V. We'll see. I'll make something from the leftovers of that Tee another day. No waste ! :)




Restructured a male dress shirt into .... something that fits me. Forgot the before picture, but it was basically a massive tent. 


Next up, lots and lots of baking :D And pasta making.
Don't tell Jojo, but I'm going to attempt to knit him a Christmas sweater this year. 
Including his name, soccer balls and candy canes.
