I also need a pizza cutter. I don't have one, and for some reason I think the year 2010 is the year where I try my hand at making home made pasta-- yup, including the actual pasta dough thingy. And since I don't want to buy one of 'em fancy shmancy pasta making contraptions, I will be content with a rolling pin and a pizza cutter to do the job.

You probably (hopefully!) noticed that I changed my template-- got bored from my old one. I am not yet at home with this one, but it'll do for now. I am actually thinking about moving my whole self into another virtual place, but this will need some time. And this week has proven to be a rather challenging one in this department. So the dotty thing is what me and you get for now.
Here are some photos from today, because apparently I took fifty of them. How is this possible? I keep on asking myself, so go ahead and ask with me::
::A foot of snow on the ground they say, how are my east coast readers doing? I know you guys probably win!
::Brioche-- from the five minute book. (I almost had a heart attack while preparing this one-- the dough wouldn't rise for over five hours. Apparently our house was on the cool side, so some sitting next to a warm oven didn't harm)
:: and here is why I have fifty photos from today.
:: "the question is: are you a cry baby?"
:: Mei's grocery shopping list from top to bottom:: a singing gate, broccoli, pasta, tantrums, one rainbow to be exact, biscuits, and princess things.
Peace.

added part: I just re-read my blog after just publishing to make sure *things make sense. Here's what I learned about myself just now ::
1. *they don't (sorry about that)
2. I need more vocabulary than "things, thingy, thing...etc"
3. It's a good thing I am taking this creative writing class. It hasn't payed off yet.
Here's my request ::
Be patient I'll get it eventually.

Scissors are so important! I took a sewing class recently and the instructor lent me her scissors because my fabric scissors have very short blades ... and I was astounded. I must find myself some of those fantastically sharp fabric scissors ... someday.
Maybe you could put them on a string and hang them somewhere out of reach of kids? But I guess if they could see them, they might go climbing to try to get to them.
Re: pasta -- I tried one time without the pasta roller, just using a rolling pin, and it was really hard. We got a pasta machine in May and I am finally settling into it. We got this one but it was NOT $85 when we got it! It was like $45! So I don't know what that's about, other than maybe it's the exchange rate? here is a cheaper one.
Anyway, I think it's totally worth it to spend some money for the machine, but maybe not $85. Or do you have a gift-giving occasion coming up? :)
I have yet to make anything but the boule and the baguette from the bread book ... maybe I'll try branching out.
Lauren- I am excited about your sewing class. The first three sentences my sewing instructor told us were: "protect your fabric scissors, protect your fabric scissors, and protect them some more!" I am following her advice!
The string idea sounds great, yet provocative... hmmn...
I don't have kitchen space for new gadgets. I know I'll try my hand at the rolling pin pasta first. if it proves to be something I do often I'll invest in kitchen space and a pasta machine (thanks for the links!)
I haven't been using the five minute book for sometime, I was in a bit of a rut recently. Branching out is always good. Post photos if you try something new on flickr or your blog.
Peace.
