Any Home Bakers Here?

My son the chef says, “If you wouldn’t eat it cold, you probably shouldn’t eat it hot, either!”

There are some things normally eaten hot that just aren't good cold! Congealed fat comes to mind.

The only difference is the real Bento boxes have dividers.

My daughter says they CAN have dividers but don't have to. Hers has a removable divider for the top part and 2 for the bottom. One of the bottom ones has 8 half circle spaces. Not sure what they are for as they seem small for cut sushi rolls and the lid wouldn't go on it you did put those in.

Ladies Eight Jared is a wonderful person. He is always ready to help us.

I realize Jared is a wonderful person.

The comment was not meant to be negative.

It was a comment from my traveling.

I am not a person who would undercut anyone.

I like to make people feel good.

Potatoes are planted.

Potatoes are planted.

I hope to be doing that in a couple weeks. I need to till the potato bed, and I have a couple of varieties coming. New stuff I've never grown: purple and rose fleshed taters.

Potatoes are planted.

Already? The ground here isn't even thawed let alone dry enough to plant anything.

Still a month to go for potatoes here.

Gonna put bread making aside and replenish my pastas today. Used the last of the tagliatelle earlier in the week, and just have one more pack of ravioli in the freezer. I had a lot of extra filling left over from last time I made them and I‘ve already got that out of the freezer thawing. I figure if I get some spaghetti, some tagliatell, some ravioli, and some pappardelle in the freezer, we’ll be set for awhile again.

Does anyone here use a stand mixer to make pasta? I know people do it, but I never have. I use my long rolling pin and the pasta board Ken bought me to mix, knead, roll, and cut because I enjoy the whole process, but it’s getting harder on my mid-back. When I’m in a hurry I have used the attachments for sheeting and cutting, but never used it from start to finish. I’m thinking of trying it today. Anything I should know first?

Cinnamon Rolls are in the oven right now...

I make small amounts of pasta and use a bowl and rolling pin. AND a pasta machine to get the dough thin.
