How to make spaghetti from scratch

Ingredients:::

• 2 cups Flour

• 3 Eggs

• 1 tsp. Vegetable oil

• 3 tbsp. Water

Directions:::

Step 1: Sift the flour into a medium sized bowl and make a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well in the center and add the Vegetable oil. With a fork, gently begin mixing the flour into the eggs till it’s well incorporated. Drizzle the water little at a time and Knead the dough with your hand

Step 2: Place the dough on a flat board. To make it easier to roll out, divide the dough into several equal parts and place the unused dough into a bowl and cover with a wet towel. The next two steps can be done with a pasta machine or with a rolling pin by hand. For this post, i’d be using the hand method.

Step 3: Sprinkle the dough and surface with flour. Place the dough on the flat surface and roll out with a rolling pin. Try to keep the rolled out dough in rectangular form while also makeing sure it’s thin enough to almost see through. Remember that it has to be very thin because once you boil the pasta it’s going to increase in size.

Step 4: To cut the dough, sprinkle some flour over the surface of the rectangle. This is done to prevent the dough from sticking together once it’s rolled up. Roll up the rectangle shaped dough just like i rolledpancakes HERE. Once it’s rolled up, slice into thin strips and un-roll immediately because they have the tendency to stick together.

Step 5: Hang the spaghetti strips on a clean hanger and leave to dry overnight. Store in an airtight nylon or container till you’re ready to use.

ONE LITTLE GIRL: an interesting story of a shoe Addict

She had dark hair, pale skin and almond eyes. And she sang like an angel. Everyone agreed on that too. Until she was 10 our little girl lived in the big city. It was a sprawling, bustling, filthy place. She lived in a hovel. Well, it wasn’t so much a hovel as a rundown garage. And, when the wind blew at night, the doors and shutters creaked and banged and she was very afraid. And every year when the fierce monsoon rains wreaked their vengeance on the earth the floor of the garage flooded and the little girl’s bare feet were cold and wet. One night in a fearsome storm our little girls’ mummy died – “of pneumonia”, they said, but our little girl didn’t understand. And so she and her widowed father and her five brothers and sisters left the garage in the big city and went to live on a tropical ...

How Learning 11 Languages Taught Me 11 Crucial Lessons

How Learning 11 Languages Taught Me 11 Crucial Lessons This article is a wake-up call for all those who dream of becoming multilingual: just do it! Luca Lampariello talks about where he finds the motivation for learning languages, and how he’s learned 11 so far. By Luca Lampariello When people meet someone who speaks many languages fluently, the first reaction is often one of slight bewilderment. Multilingualism is generally considered cool yet difficult to achieve , especially if second, third and fourth languages are acquired later in life. As an advocate of language learning, I of course agree that it’s cool, but I challenge the assumption that it’s difficult. My name is Luca Lampariello. Here I would like to deviate from the well-trodden route to how I learned 11 languages and concentrate on why I learned these languages. Seasoned language learners will all tell you that motivation is fundamental, so where can one find this motivation and h...
