Just call me a regular pastafarian

So last saturday Talia and I went down to the St Lawrence market and went to the farmers market there. It was a lot of fun and we sat some really amazing veggies. Sadly Talia had gone grocery shopping for us on thursday (when we usually go shopping) so we had all our veggies for the week but despite that we still picked up some stuff. Some fresh pressed apple cider (really non filtered apple juice) with 3 types of apples and 2 types of berries (I think). It tasted really good.

We also picked up some green onions, asparagus, and some pickled cauliflower. For a snack as we were leaving we also grabbed a small bag of sheep cheese curds which were really tasty.

Leaving I remember Talia very clearly stating that we would be going down there from now on to get our veggies.

The last thing that we picked up some a back of red whole grain flour. I dont remember the exact type but they were selling small bags and premade pasta. Now you may remember that a while ago I got a pasta machine and sadly I havent used it as much as I would like so went I saw the pasta and the flour I decided to get a bag and make my own pasta.

I also remembered that my parents had this cool little book on pasta so over easter I found it and asked if I could borrow it. I'm fairly certain that I'm the only one who has ever used it so they had no problem lending it to me.

So pasta usually had egg in it but we dont eat much egg so I just replaced it with a little extra water. I also decided to only do a half batch since it was kind of late (8:30pm when I started) and I didnt want to be working too late.

 A little salt, some water, oliver oil and of course the pasta and some time cranking away on the pasta machine and low and behold... bow down to the whole grain flying spagetti (actually linguini) monster....

I am drying it on the string I usually use for drying herbs (see the dill in the corner). Gonna have it for dinner tomorrow. Hope it tastes good.
