Fresh Handmade Pasta

slightly thicker then spaghetti but nice and chewy. :)

The brainiac (Computer) crashed and have to restore it to factory default, which means all my website bookmarks from donkey years ago till now are all wiped out.  :(

Luckily I wrote down a few on my notebook ( the paper kind phew!!). Going to include it here so if anything else crash or burn, I'll have the recipe here.

Ingredients for the dough only:
1 egg (about 30g)
100g AP flour ( I used 50g semolina flour + 50g All purpose flour)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
Herbs (I didn't include any)
1 tablespoon water (I used 1/2, then add more if it's too dry)

-mound the flour and creat a well  in the centre, put the egg, water, salt, oil in the centre. use a fork and mix from the centre going outwards until a dough is formed.
-form a ball and rest the dough for 30 mins.
-roll the dough flat then cut in strips.

Making of a Minion

made a minion for my niece by '"agaration"" (guess work, that's why the eyes are not the same size :P) The minion has his own mini size minion :) I love those transparent shoe boxes from Daiso! Great for keeping and carrying around projects I'm working on.

 I have been using smaller czech glass flowers to make the markers but they are out of stock. Lucky found these three petals ones. (listed on etsy)

Amateur Mint planting

I bought a potted mint plant.  Plants usually don't last long under my care (orchids, basil, parsley..all went kaput...), but mint is suppose to be hardy...but just in case...I cut 4 sprigs off the main plant and planted them in soil. yup me bad, thought they are like Rosemary plant. The photo on the left shows the poor things in the morning after their soil ordeal. Found out I have to put the them in water and let it root before planting them back in soil.  The photo on right shows them looking all minty  again...phew...

Kimbap Goodness!

Things fall apart (reminds me of the title of a book we read in school)....can't seem to roll them tight enough and little pieces of food start slipping out when i cut the rolls! Made the kimbap with two kinds of seasoned rice, one with sesame oil and salt (receipe from Maangchi) and another with vinegar , sugar and salt (receipe from BeyondKimchee). Both taste good :)
