A Cooking Adventure!

Hello Lovies:


Tuesday night I had the opportunity to attend a class at Create a Cook in Newton.  It was an event sponsored by one of my vendor partners so not only did I get to spend time with some awesome people, I also got to do one of my favorite things - cook!


It was an Italian feast and I immediately eyed the pasta station as I had never made pasta before.  I have to tell you, it was SO easy!  I will post the actual recipe when I get it, but essentially you aerate flower in a food processor, add eggs and let it rip 'til it forms into a ball of dough.  Knead it out a little, wrap and plastic and let sit for about 15 minutes, quarter the ball and crank each piece through this puppy quite a few times.  

Once thin enough run it through the top part to slice the noodles.  Two keys are LOTS of flour to keep them from sticking and cooking for to al dente for a very short time otherwise 30 seconds too long overcooks them into a gluten-ey mess! 


Some pics of ML and me makin' the magic happen:

Excuse the red faces, it was SO hot in that kitchen!

The finished product! 

Full disclaimer: ML is NOT a cook.  I am the only one who has ever used her gorgeous kitchen so this was huge for her, SO proud! 


XOXO,
KW

Mama's Day Weekend in K-town

I had great intentions of setting this to post earlier in the weekend, but we all know about the best of intentions...#fail.


Anyhoo, headed to the Big K for the weekend and had a fabby time.  HIGHLY recommend Kodomo brand new and SO good, highly unexpected for K-town!  Had a great dinner with the 'rents on Friday night.


Saturday I got a full on dose of Ktastic-ness. Made a schlep out to Stone Ridge for one of these:

(and a hanging basket for Grandma W), a trip to the icky HVM, a trip uptown to Bop to Tottem, stop for some sauce at Dallas and some yummy SW hot dogs followed by some of this Mickey's II with MCS.

This my ALL TIME perfect cone -
small twist with rainbow sprinkles!

Ran around a ton, went to 5P Mass and then went to dinner at Boitson's and we sat outside, was a perfect night!  Dad and I toasted my sister's 5th wedding anniversary (Mom took the pic):

Silly face, amazing his eyes are open!

Went to see Best Exotic Marigold Hotel with Mom and MCS after dinner and I loved it, Mom not so much.  


Sunday was the big show - lots of gifties for mom including some new black Jack Rogers and the Bridier Baubles "Under the Sea" Bracelet that I am glad I bought back in April because it appears to be gone from the site (I bought three!).

We had the usual Deising's carb fest on Lounsbury place did a lot of nothing and then went to pay homage to Kitty and Irene at the bar with the extended "fam"

Slainte Kitty & Irene!

Then we were off to meal number two of the day on Lounsbury for the annual Mother's Day Chinese takeout dinner.  


Back to Beantown for a star turn before the marathon month of traveling begins!


XOXO,

Five Things Friday

Not sure who I am borrowing this from...I think it was originated with Hopsy?  Thank you to whoever you are!


1. The "It" necklace.  SO ridic that this thing is $150 on J. Crew!  I saw this post on JGIWC back in early April and did my own little eBay search...and there are tons of them in the $15 range (plus shipping).  I hate to do a knockoff, but rules are made for bending.  It is really great quality,  just took about three week to get here from Hong Kong.

Sorry for the janky tee/crooked necklace!

2.  Betches Love This awesome Revenge Recaps.   (BREAKING NEWS: Revenge was JUST picked up for second season...cue the choirs of angels.)


3. This shirt - I got in coral a few weeks ago and I think I also need navy and white

4. Realizing while in line at Starbucks this AM that my necklace and  Tervis matched - I never proclaimed to be anything less than a dork!

5. My new email bud K over at Pencil Skirts and Pinot Noir - we are going to have illegal amounts of fun DROOLING over Etsy...among other things! 


(Sorry for no not one but two pics of my chest...wth?!)


XOXO,
KW

Call Me Maybe

(So I set this to auto post today at 4PM EDT and it did not work - anyone know why?)


This is super duper amazing! (via Boston.com ).  I am OBSESSED with this song...what, you didn't know I am really a 14 year old girl?!? 


Can someone hook a sister up and show me how to insert a video?
