New pasta platters

It was pasta night. I know. Again. It was mushroom because they needed using.

I am also enjoying using my Christmas gifts our potter friend, Trish. These photos don't do them justice. I will just have to use them more often and take more photos. Practise makes perfect.

I admit that after a long and hot day in the office, I began to think that I was nuts making pasta from scratch and sweating standing over a hot gas stove. Unlike the day before, at the end of which I was on a high, yesterday was a slog. Not in a bad way because, at least by the end of it, I felt as though I'd accomplished more than a promise of more.

That's good.

And I'm going to have to up my plating skills to show these pretty platters to their best advantage.

Until next time, be well

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:

• re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
• and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.

I blog to the Hive blockchain using a number of decentralised appplications.

• From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.

• Join Hive using this link and then join us in the Silver Bloggers' community.
