Greetings!
Brrr...
As I'm writing this, the
temperature outside is a frigid
0°F and dropping. What
a way to start the New Year!
But when there's a chill in the
air, a cold in your head or an
ache in your heart, a bowl
of chicken soup is very soothing.
Good for body and soul! To that
end, below is a recipe for a
quick-cooking and delicious
Chicken Noodle Soup, as well as a
recipe for Shrimp Bisque. Both
are sure to warm you
this winter! ****
Since
it's a new year, I've decided to
make a change to my
monthly drawing for a
$25 Gift Certificate. I'm
throwing out all the names and
starting over! So if you entered
in the past, you need to
enter again this month
to qualify. In fact, from
now on you will have
to enter each month for
a chance to win. Previously, if
you entered once, you were
automatically entered in future
drawings. I might change it back
to that in the future, but
for now if you want to be
entered in the January drawing
be sure to sign up
right here!
And congratulations to Anne of
Beechhurst, NY who won the
December drawing!
****
Here's to happiness and
prosperity in 2011 for you!
Till next time,

Homemade
Egg Pasta
2
cups/500 all purpose flour
1/2 tsp/2.5 mL salt
2 eggs, beaten
2 tsp/10 mL Original
Grapeseed Oil / Canadian
Link
3 to 4 tbl/45 to 60 mL water
Combine flour and salt in small
bowl; mix well. Make a well in
the center and add eggs and oil;
mix thoroughly. Gradually add in
the water, 1 tbl/15 ml at a time,
until dough is stiff but easy to
roll. On lightly floured surface,
knead dough until smooth, 2 to 3
minutes. Cover and let rest for
30 minutes.
On floured surface, roll half of
dough out as thin as possible
into rectangle (about 18 × 15
inches/46 × 38 cm). Sprinkle
lightly with flour. Starting at
shortest side, loosely fold dough
over into thirds. Cut crosswise
into slices (1/4-inch/6-mm slices
for fettuccine or 1/8-inch/3-mm
slices for linguine). Unfold
slices; if desired, cut into
shorter lengths. Repeat with
remaining half of dough.** If
noodles stick, toss with extra
flour and allow to dry separately
on waxed paper. Shake off excess
flour before cooking.
Makes about 1 pound/454 g
uncooked pasta; 6 cups/1.5 liters
cooked (1 cup/250 ml per
serving).
*Try other flavors of Grapeseed
Oil or a Watkins Liquid
Spice instead of oil.
**To roll and cut pasta using a
manual or electric pasta machine,
follow manufacturer's directions.
Food Processor Directions:
In food processor bowl with metal
blade, combine flour and salt. In
measuring cup, combine oil and
eggs. Pour into tube and pulse
on/off until mixed. With machine
running, add cold water 1 tbl/15
at a time until dough forms a
ball.
Pasta dough or fresh noodles can
be stored in plastic bags in
refrigerator up to 3 days or in
freezer up to 1 month.
Cooking Directions:
Add to broth as directed in above
recipe. Or, bring 3 quarts/liters
of salted water to a boil; drop
pasta into boiling water. Return
to a boil and cook, uncovered,
for 5 to 10 minutes or until
pasta is tender, stirring
occasionally; drain. |
