We are officially married!! Hooray! Our wedding was absolutely perfect. The weather was perfect, the food was incredible, and we're still eating wedding cake every night! It was so great having all of our out-of-town guests and hanging out at the hotel all weekend! We had a great time and it's so wonderful to be married to the love of my life! It's hard to believe it's all over already! But, now we have a honeymoon to plan for, so that's exciting!! We should be getting our wedding pictures in about 4-6 weeks, so hopefully I'll be able to upload some of them. For now, it's back to work and back to normal at least for a little while.
We've gotten a lot of awesome kitchen gadgets, which I'm excited to blog about. The first one I wanted to mention was one we used last weekend -- a pasta roller for our Kitchenaid Stand Mixer. I always loved fresh pasta, and now I can make it myself! It was so easy to do and didn't take long at all! The basic recipe was simply flour, water, eggs, and salt. I mixed it up in the kitchenaid and kneaded it for a little bit. The dough was a little dry, so I added a touch of water. I was afraid to add too much though andit remained pretty dry. After letting it sit for 20 minutes, it was time to roll it into sheets. I followed the directions on the pasta roller -- splitting the dough into 4 pieces and rolling each one. At first I thought it wasn't going to work, because the dough was breaking apart as it went through the roller. I just kept at it, and after about 4-5 times through, it started looking like pasta dough! It came out in long, thin sheets. Once that was done, the next part was really easy! I just attached the fettucini cutter to the kitchenaid and fed each sheet of dough through it. It cut a ton of perfect, fresh fettucini. We boiled it for about 3-4 minutes and added some sauce that we got from a farmer's market and piave cheese from Di Bruno Brothers. It turned out amazing and I can't wait to make more very soon!
More kitchen gadget reviews to come along with another Stitch Fix box at the end of the month!!
