I had prepared a well-thought out, long post for today, but the cyber gods laughed at me and erased it right before I posted.  Boo!  To make a long story short, my topic today was all about my adventures in the kitchen- the latest of which is making homemade pasta.  It is definitely better than store bought and was actually fun to make, too.  I found my recipe in a 80′s version of Good Housekeeping and found it easy to follow with simple ingredients (mainly all-purpose flour, olive oil, water, salt, eggs).  I am too lazy to repost the recipe, however, if you do by chance want it just let me know in the comments section.  Sorry to be lazy, but running after a 4 (almost 5) year old and taking care of an infant has drained me of energy today.  Just trust me though- making your own pasta is well worth the effort.   The best part?  You don’t need a fancy machine or hand crank to make simple noodles.
