I Love Kitchen Gadgets

This is a recent purchase from Williams Sonoma and it is one of my favorite kitchen appliances.

The Phillips Pasta Maker comes with 4 discs that make Penne, Spaghetti, Fettuccine,  and Lasagna Noodles.  The recipe is so easy, 1 scoop of flour to 1/2 water.  Even I can do it!

Then it extrudes the pasta, how easy is that?  Fresh pasta cooks up faster than dried pasta, about 4 or 5 minutes.

” Happy Birthday” to my Brother.  Have a wonderful day.

Thursday

Our neighbors chickens are really producing some beautiful eggs. I can't wait for our hens to start laying. Some of these eggs are almost the size of goose eggs.  Love fresh eggs!

Our neighbors chickens are really producing some beautiful eggs. I can’t wait for our hens to start laying. Some of these eggs are almost the size of goose eggs. Our chickens are 2 months and they will start laying at about 6 months. Love fresh eggs!

I used some of the eggs to make a spinach, onion, mushroom and cheese frittata. I also plan on making an angel food cake this weekend.

I have been watching a pair of House Finches building a nest in the evergreen just outside the window in the great room.   How exciting to see that there are 4 eggs in it.

The little chicks are really growing up!  They are enjoying being out in their temporary yard.
