Happy Saturday!
Today, my dad and I went to St.Lawrence Market today for a sole purpose. To get ingredients for homemade pasta. I love St. Lawrence on Saturdays. It's so full of life with the most interesting cast of characters. The food is unbelievable, with produce that I have never seen before. It is a dream land for food lovers. That's the thing- I thought becoming a veggie would limit my food options-with myths of nasty tofu with flavorless veggies as a side. This could not be further from the truth. Becoming a veggie has allowed me to expand into new and creative ways to make meals. I get more excited now about cooking at home than going out for dinner. But I digress...
When we came back to my dad's we were armed and ready for our pasta adventure. We were going to make tortellini with butternut squash and ricotta cheese as a stuffing, with a garden salad and freshly made french baguettes. Excited, we began making the dough and then.....it failed. Like, epic failure. Not only was the pasta inedible, but we put bets on how quickly it would disintegrate in hot water. Nasty! Which is so very sucky, because I was so excited about this!!! Boo urns. Oh well-chudleighs blueberry pie helped ease the pain. :)
peace, love and carrots to all!
