What Was In The Bags?

So what was in the birthday bags?

A pasta maker,

and a collapsible pasta drying rack.

My son and I FaceTimed while I made the pasta dough, and ran it through the machine. I had had a pot of water boiling, so I was able to cook (and eat) some as soon as I made it.

Best. Birthday. Present. Ever.

Wowza!

Could you tell the difference between freshly home made and store bought?

Looks terrific. I had to give my pasta maker away as my husband is celiac. Gluten free flour will not stick together to go through the machine. I bet it was delicious.

Totally cool -- have lots of fun with your new toys! (and I am NOT showing this to Larry - he keeps wanting to make home made pasta - I did it when the kids were little and swore it off as too much work - but he's retired now so maybe I'll relent.

WOW! The pasta looks great and we bet it was so delicious.
Way more taste than the stuff in a package ;)
