Sapicay Meat-a Ball-a!

Our friend Dominic swung by to visit and let our pooches play together.

I was cooking meatballs in a spicy marinara sauce for dinner.

You know, cause I wan-na have-a sapicay meat-a ball-a!

We invited Dom to stay for dinner, and he agreed... how could he not??

Well, it was not even 6pm yet, still pretty early.

Soooo, I thought - why not make our own spaghetti?

What else do we have to do?

Out came the pasta maker:

and lotttssss of flour!

We passed the panels of pasta through the roller a few times,

gotta get it just the right thickness!

Then, at last, the skinny panel gets made into little lovely noodles!

We made piles of spaghetti, it looked like a lot by the time we were done.

Cooking only took about 5 minutes! And it was the perfect amount for 3!

The meatballs were ready!

And, the finished product!

Beautiful!

Yummy!

You know it's good when you're 2 segments into your favorite TV show and none of us

have really heard a word of it because we're too busy saying,

"Mmmmmm" with every bite!

I think we'll be making home made pasta a lot more often!

P.S.

Happy Hannukah!

We had my Grandmother's Menorah going, and said our prayers!

My hands were covered in flour,

and I wasn't ABOUT to stand aside for someone else to have that much fun!
