Got the pasta drying rack half full of sheets of pasta. Need to go for a walk later, buy some white and red wine, white for today, red for tomorrow.

I tried making pasta eons ago, before there was special equipment. I failed. I can make good pastry and scones though. Wink

I also cooked very complicated French recipes from a Cordon Bleu book I was given. I remember one recipe that involved chicken, wine, spices and breadcrumbs. We had friends over for dinner (formal dinner occasions back in the 70's) and my female friend was a Teacher (Cookery). The main course looked like your normal "Maryland Chicken", but it had taken 48 hours to produce (layer upon layer ... cook, coat, refrigerate, etc) and one bite and my friend (her husband and mine) were VERY impressed! She asked for the recipe it was so impressive.

Wish I still had the book The Author's first name was Robert, second name began with a C, I think. Title was something like Cordon Bleu Cookery by Robert C.......

Making good scones and pastry were drilled into our heads like the times table. You never forget.

And I had to do art which was mostly boring as batshit lettering. Would have loved to have gotten a grounding in cooking and touch typing. Cannelloni was tasty enough but next time will roll it out a bit thinner, maybe to setting 5 or 6 instead of 4.

I liked sewing - hated cooking and wouldn't have minded doing woodwork, but it was a girl's school and woodwork wasn't on the curriculum.

Now girls have the option to do whatever subject they please.

Cooking can be pleasant at times, but it's not on my favourites list. I learnt to make healthy, but plain meals for my family and it hasn't extended much past that.

Smoker is heating up.

Wild boar ribs and some camel fillet sitting in brine in the fridge in the shed, they will go into the smoker as soon as the main chamber heats up, half an hour or so later will put some apricot or peach wood in the fire compartment which creates the smoke.

The offset smoker I have (like all offset smokers) is a hot smoker—it cooks the food in the main compartment and flavors it with smoke.

Is Demi lonely and you are trying to encourage the other mutts about the area?

Everyone knows it is what they use in Movies and TV shows. So not real. ROFL

That's a classic French Tarte aux Pommes. The apricot jelly glaze makes it look spectacular.
