    I remember watching Mario Batali making pasta on his TVFN show and

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Whole Wheat Egg Noodles or Dumplings
    Categories: Five, Pasta
    Yield: 1 Batch

    4 tb Ground flax seed
    2 c Whole wheat flour
    2 lg Eggs
    1 ts Salt
    1 ts Baking powder *
    Water as needed

    * Why put baking powder in noodles, anyway? Egg noodles
    tend to be a little lighter in texture than regular pasta,
    and it's baking powder that gives them that boost.

    Combine flax seed, whole wheat flour, egg and salt in a
    medium bowl. Add and mix in 1 tablespoon of water at a
    time, until the dough is no longer sticky.

    Roll the dough out in a rectangle shape, as thin as you
    can. If it shrinks back, let it rest for about 10 minutes,
    then try again. Carefully roll it up like a jelly roll.
    Using a very sharp knife, cut it into 1/2 inch sections.
    Unroll the pieces, put unto a baking sheet with flour on
    it and let it rest/dry until you are ready to use it.

    P.S. These freeze well in ZipLoc bags.

    Hello Janis,

    I found this online somewhere, and it really the best whole wheat pasta recipe I've found.

    Makes about 1 lb. pasta

    Enough for 3 or 4 persons.

    Ingredients:
    6 ounces Whole Wheat flour
    3 ounces All Purpose flour
    3 ounces Semolina flour
    2 eggs
    1 egg white
    6 Tablespoons water

    Most pasta recipes one finds online call for all-purpose flour
    and large eggs. Milk, olive oil, or water are added to make dough.
    The usual ratio/proportion is about 1/4 cup to each egg.
    For a whole wheat dough, I make it a 50/50 split between all-purpose
    flour and whole wheat flour. Plus salt (opt).

    All-purpose split with whole wheat, all-purpose, and semolina
    would work great, depending on who is being served.

    For 3-4 persons, best to go with 2 eggs,
    one and a half cups flour, salt.

    For 5-6 persons, best to go with 3 eggs,
    2 and one-fourth cup flour, and salt.

    [..]

    Spaghetti was so good for dinner this evening :)

    Macaroni!
    Penne!
    Chianti!

    A taste of Little Italy.
    Jets and Saints in Super Bowl.
    Geaux Saints!

    For Life,

    Hi Dave!

    I found this online somewhere, and it really the best whole wheat pasta jk>> recipe I've found.

    Makes about 1 lb. pasta

    Ingredients:
    6 ounces Whole Wheat flour
    3 ounces All Purpose flour
    3 ounces Semolina flour
    2 eggs
    1 egg white
    6 Tablespoons water

    Is Prism back "on the air"? I try every morning asnd get dumped unceremoniously out on my ample fundament.

    As hard as it is to believe, I am STILL having problems on my daughter's space that she set up for me to run filegate.net... :( I think I am lost for the
    first time in my computer-life. I am running two instances of BBBS over here.

    _This_ one is on my local box where I am typing right now - It is the main node running with the BBBS/Li key file I paid for from Kim Heino for IIRC 15 nodes.

    The second instance I am running is using Kim's default free 3 nodes you get for free with BBBS, and I am running that instance on the site my daughter set up for me on Digital Ocean as a point off my 1:261/38 address. So eventually if I get things going correctly, when you see 1:261/38.75-76, that is my "nother node" <grin>.

    I remember watching Mario Batali making pasta on his TVFN show and
    thinking "That looks very similar to what my Grandmother taught me to
    make when I was a pre-teen.

    Ah.. another man brought down by bane desires <g> He did seem like a decent cook, in the few shows that did watch.

    I liked the above recipe I posted since it really did make very good whole wheat pasta, which there is no doubt is so much better for you than that made with standard all-purpose or even bread flour.

    Now seeing your Grandmother's recipe, I do want to try it to see the difference.

    Hi Sis!

    Ron and I hope you and your family are doing well! Long time since we've all seen each other, but sadly I would think our cooking picnics are done due to Covid, et. al. :(
    Maybe someday... we'll see.

    It makes really decent noodles and dumplings.

    Title: Squirrel & Dumplings
    Categories: Game, Breads, Potatoes, Vegetables
    Yield: 6 Servings

    4 Squirrels; skinned, gutted,
    - cut up, soaked in salted
    - water overnight
    6 md Potatoes; peeled, diced
    3 md Carrots; scraped, sliced or
    - diced
    pn (ea) basil & oregano; a big
    - pinch
    1 tb Parsley flakes
    Salt & Pepper
    Arrowroot to thicken gravy

    MMMMM---------------------------DOUGH--------------------------------
    2 c Flour
    2/3 c Shortening or lard
    3/4 ts Salt
    5 tb Ice water
    1 lg Egg

    Cook squirrels in large pan, using enough water to cover.
    Salt to taste (about 1 tsp). Cook 2 to 3 hours or until
    tender. Remove squirrels from pan, cut up, roll in flour,
    and fry in shortening over medium heat until browned.

    To the broth add potatoes, diced and carrots. Return
    broth to heat and let simmer until potatoes are cooked.
    Broth should thicken with the cooking of the vegetables.
    If not thick to your liking add some arrowroot until
    desired consistency is reached. Taste broth and adjust
    seasonings.

    Mix together all ingredients for dough, using fork to cut
    flour through other ingredients. Work gently 1 minute with
    hands.

    Roll out dough on floured surface to about 1/4" thickness.
    Cut in 1" or bite size pieces and add to boiling broth and
    vegetables. Add parsley flakes and salt. If not enough
    salt is added, dish will taste bland.

    Add browned squirrel back to the broth. Cook 30 minutes on
    low heat.

    VARIATION: Roll the pastry out like pie dough and make
    one large or six small pies.

    The pandemic is (mostly) over. The real problem with the picnis is that
    the black camel has knelt for far too many of our participants. And we
    age out, even if we're still around. I'm currently the embodiment of the
    Duke Ellingtion classic "Don't Get Around Much Anymore". (except locally)

    This is from my first ever picnic at Pat Stockett's in Alabama. NMearly everyone who was at that event has fallen from the twig.

    Title: Alligator Sauce Piquante - Picnic
    Categories: Loo, Exotics, Reptile
    Yield: 2 Servings

    1 lb Alligator cutlets
    2 c Buttermilk or soured milk
    1/2 c Cornmeal
    1/2 ts Thyme
    Salt & Pepper
    Fat for frying
    10 oz Can Milder Ro*Tel Chopped
    - Tomatoes
    1 Bay leaf; opt
    1/2 ts Thyme
    1/2 ts Marjoram or oregano
    1/2 ts Garlic powder
    1/2 ts Cajun seasoning (Emeril's
    - or other) *
    1 cl Garlic mashed
    Tabasco sauce, tt (UDD
    - would use Trappey's)

    * Tony Chachere's (green can) works well - UDD

    Soak alligator cutlets in milk for at least 4 hr. Drain
    and dredge in cornmeal that has been seasoned with thyme,
    salt, and pepper.

    Heat fat and fry cutlets until done and crisp on both
    sides.

    Meanwhile, bring Ro-Tel tomatoes and bay leaf to a boil.
    Add remaining ingredients. Reduce by about 1/3, season
    with Tabasco to taste.

    Drain cutlets on paper towels and then put on a platter.
    Cover with sauce and serve.

    It was dark when I cooked this, so the identities and
    amounts of herbs are open to some question.
