catching up

ok, here are some pictures i took for the blog, but never posted....

i made sugary- cheesy-nutty goodness wrapped up in puff pastry for the superbowl. (no party, it was just me and jake). it was so good with slices of apples and baguette. (those are supposed to be footballs on top!)






it looks gross close-up, but trust me, it tasted pretty awesome.

i got a new pasta maker for christmas. (thanks, mama!) unfortunately, i left it at my in-laws, so i didn't get to make it until they came to visit a couple weeks ago. jake took pictures of me using the new machine, but they turned out terrible, so here is the finished product. i ate two huge bowls (fettucine with proscuitto and peas in cream cheese sauce--soooooo good!)
