Urrppp....
Dinner was good.
Did a salad, a baked ham with Orange Marmalade dressing, roasted asparagus and home-made pasta with a shallot, garlic, peas, and pine-nut dressing.
I was not able to get any
Durum flour in time so I went with AP flour and added some wheat gluten to the mix. Bad move -- the end result was tasty and a perfect al-dente but it was a bear processing the dough. Very very sticky and stretchy. I needed a hard flour, not a sticky one -- this made rolling out the noodles a bit of fun but everything tasted really good and we are both stuffed.
Got one hoop-house up (12X25 foot) and planning four more -- picking up the last of the supplies for this in town tomorrow when I do the store shopping run. The garlic and the flower bulbs are peeking up through the ground and got a bunch of seed starts going in the garage. Fun time of year -- Easter really is a time of re-birth and renewal...
