So tomorrow is my birthday and I am so excited! I got a bunch of my presents already from Dennis and my parents. Dennis got me a Ronco Rocker knife set which is AMAZING. I can't wait to find something to cut! My mom got me a really purdy purple dress with a matching necklace that I plan to wear out to dinner tonight. My dad got me a bunch of stuff to make my own pasta!!

In Italy, we made our own pasta dough and then used this crazy contraption to flatten it out and cut it into noodles. You can do fettucini or angel hair on this one. You hook it up to this little vice grip and you can put it on any flat surface. Then you crank it all through by hand. So authentic! :)

Then there is the pasta drying rack, where you lay out the pasta once it has been cut up and let it dry out before you cook it... kind of like a clothes line.

I also got a pasta cutter, which is like a mini pizza cutter to make the jagged edge on the little raviolis and other pasta.
Neato!
So now I will be making delicious homemade pasta for anyone who dares try it. I need some practice though so I will announce when Meghan's Kitchen is open for business. Maybe I should come up with a better name for it though. Signorina's Cucina! (Misses Kitchen in Italian) I'm open to suggestions!
*Sonya walks into the lab to make some copies*Jay: Do you think i should ask her what her underwear says today?
*He and I laugh, he leaves the room*
Me: Jay started reading my blog today for the first time.
Robin: Oh really?
Me: Yea, that's why he made that comment about what Sonya's underwear says today. Did you not get that?
Robin: No!!!! So that's why he said that!
Me: So what, did you just think he was an old perv before?
Robin: Yes!
Jay: You should have never shown me that blog.
