Labor Day Pasta and a Surprise Visit

Today has been a great day. I had the opportunity to meet @20stone and his wife today. They were passing through Coleman and stopped for a visit. Plans were initiated for a possible bread camp. Asado grills and roasted whole animals will probably also be involved. @caliking and @The Cen-Tex Smoker are co-conspirators they just don’t know about it yet.
My daughter came home for a quick visit and wanted pasta. Who was I to disappoint?
We had some appetizers of meatballs in a romesco sauce.
Here’s a progression of pics making the pasta:
I got my daughter in on some of the action.
We did egg the chicken... We just failed to take pics.
Here’s the final plated product.
Hope y’all have a great holiday weekend. Thanks for looking.

This thread looks like a Saveur pictorial. Outstanding, as usual.
And YES on bread camp and roasting whole animals!! I’m currently the foster care provider for the asado X that was fabricated for BC4, so I do expect to be invited#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

Y’all are too generous with your comments. Pasta is quite easy to make when you have the time to deal with it. If anyone is interested here’s a good link for how to make it:

the sauce is a hodge-podge from several things I looked at - just mix cream, parmesan, bacon, and any other goodness together. How can that be wrong?

Always a great cook and documentation. Quite a skill set for sure. Congrats.

Clearly we mistimed our flyby. I won’t make that mistake twice.
Next time I will drop off some guanciale, which will do quite nicely in that bowl.
Great cook, as always.(now only 16 stone)

@20stone Yes, I honestly felt bad about the timing. It would have been great to share a meal. That gives us a reason to meet again.Coleman, Texas

If if I lose much more, I may switch units to kg, though I haven’t been as small as 100 kg for over 30 years.

On a separate note, outstanding looking grub my friend.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
@SGH Thanks my friend. It seems quite a few folks around here have shed some weight. Congrats. We can still eat the good stuff - just not as much of it.Coleman, Texas

Nice work all around as usual. Noodle drying rack has been on my to-make list forevercanuckland

Wonderful cook and photography - as always!
I had pasta last night. The fact that it was dried farfalle from a box was the least of it's problems. Looking at yours just made mine look that much worse.
I have a pasta machine though I've used it only a few times. Glad I didn't waste the effort on last night's fiasco.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
