Happy Memorial Day

 

          Happy (or dreary, rather) Memorial Day! I've always looked forward to Memorial weekend, considering there's no school, and my little town always puts on a cute parade with a cookout and ice cream afterward. However, this year it rained and rained, the parade was cancelled, and the idea of leaving the house was less than appealing. I did manage to throw together a little patriotic brunch for my family on the porch before cozying up on the couch to watch Back to the Future, and some  Southern Charm.

Homemade Pasta

 

           I love pasta of any sort, from a box- even from a frozen dinner. However homemade pasta not only tastes better- but it's also much more fun to make, feeding the dough through the machine, and hanging it on the rack to dry. There's a pasta making day at my Nonna's house every week, and whenever my brother and I can make it, we love to go. For once, the work that goes into it is equally as pleasant as the reward.
