1 generous portion of Grampa
1 dollop of Sparkling Daughter Amy
1 (and this is crucial, do NOT skimp on this particularly important ingredient) groovy grandson William
2 C unbleached flour
7 organic eggs
Now, let's get started!
Form two volcanoes of the flour.
Break your eggs into a bowl.
Pour the goopy eggs into the flour volcanoes.
Laugh when Grampa's volcano erupts, or, sort of leaks.
Give up on the whole mix with a fork thing, and get those hands involved!
Pasta making is NOT for the weak of heart!
(Or the weak of arms!)
Pasta making IS for Fat Charlie, Sam I Am and Swede William!
Stay neat and tidy at all times, and do NOT dissolve into fits of laughter, aimed exclusively at Grandpa and his pile of gooey, sticky, messy dough, when YOUR batch is working perfectly!
Help poor old weak Gramma. This dough is ornery!
And get the "geetar" - Great Gramma's thingy that makes the flattened dough into linguine - ready for action.
It's PASTA!!!! Only Three hours later! We are geniuses!
Love your writing, yes we do. So glad that you do this too!

Hey, we watched our hoomans eat pasta at that very table, and admired the plates with whippets on them, and heard our mom say "may I have some more please," and enjoyed the laughter and fun and good conversation.
ReplyDeleteGood memories.

My Mom makes her own noodles and you may find them hanging all over the place sometimes! I sure wish my computer had a smell-o-vision attachment. It looks like a wonderful way to spend a few hours with family.
