Pasta Part 2

Now it is time to roll out the dough! Grandpa brought his pasta maker from OH and showed us how it was done. You roll out the dough and then start sending strips of dough through the machine to flatten and knead it. Once it was at the right consistency you put on another piece of equipment to cut the dough into the pasta you desire. We made fettuccine. Place in boiling water for 3 - 5 minutes and it is ready to go. What a fun lesson and a delicious homemade meal. Thanks Grandpa!

Pasta Making with Grandpa & Nana

Grandpa gave us an education on how to make your own pasta. He showed us how to make pasta by hand. Each of the kids got to work on their own dough. After it was all rolled up in a ball we refrigerated it for a few hours.

Spring Piano Recital 2011

This past Sunday Gabby and Matthew participated in their spring recital for piano. Mrs. Patterson had the children perform in age order and Matthew was the first to perform his two songs. He did a wonderful job!

Gabby was the 4th student to perform her two songs. She was so composed and played so beautifully. It amazes me how composed and confident they are when performing in front of a group of people. We are so thrilled! They both did an amazing job.
