MacKenzie Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 First time for this bread but it went well with the spaghetti and the Grana Padano cheese frico. Grilled tomatoes from last summer made for a tasty sauce for the homemade spaghetti. Comfort food I used the recipe found here - http://www.food.com/recipe/the-easiest-bestest-focaccia-bread-ever-27968 Grano Pandano cheese with toasted fennel seed frico.

Cookie Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 I don't know which you do better MacKenzie....KK food or pics of KK food. Both are excellent.
MacKenzie Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Posted April 3, 2015 Thanks, Cookie. All I know is that grilled food tastes great and I certainly enjoy doing the pixs. I'm cooking on a non KK grill but that is coming to an end shortly
ckreef Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 A lot of words I've never heard but it all looks really good. I've made homemade Spaghetti before - that's a pain in the butt. Great cook.
tinyfish Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 Very nicely done!! The more time I spend on the forums makes me realize that you people know how to cook. So far I've mastered the eating part...lol.
tony b Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 MacKenzie, you just keep WOWing me more and more! Probably only a handful of folks on this forum even know what Frico is, let alone make them! And, homemade pasta and focaccia, too! You go girl! Ckreef, homemade pasta is sooo much better, it's worth it. I don't think it's that much of a PITA at all - only 2 ingredients - eggs & flour; mix it, rest, roll it out, cut it - easy, peasy, especially if you have a good pasta roller. Here's a decent, cheaper one as an intro if you're not sure you're going to be doing it often - http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-1049-Pasta-Machine/dp/B0009SS6BI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8. Here's the one that I have and love it - http://www.amazon.com/Marcato-Atlas-Wellness-Pasta-Stainless/dp/B0009U5OSO/ref=sr_1_3?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1428074048&sr=1-3&keywords=imperia+pasta+machine.
MacKenzie Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Posted April 3, 2015 Thanks, Tony, it's fun isn't it:) I have the same pasta maker as you and have had it for a very long time but a few years ago I needed a new mixer and bought the Ankarsrum. It was called the Elektrolux when I bought it. It has turned out to be one of those things that you'd wish you had bought sooner:) I did buy some of the extras but not the pasta roller or cutter. However in the last year I broke down and bought the roller and one cutter. At the time I thought this is ridiculous, I already have the Marcato and attachments, but, well you know the story:) I am very happy I went ahead with the purchase. I agree, pasta couldn't be easier. The only trick is getting the right consistency but one you figure out what it should feel like it is just so easy to make. You won't buy pasta again.
MacKenzie Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Posted April 3, 2015 I only wish I could spell or even better that I could edit after posting:)
tony b Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 You can edit after posting. Put your mouse pointer over the note, you'll see EDIT in the bottom right corner, but only on the notes that you post (you can't obviously edit someone else's post). Click on it and it will open back up and you can change/edit/add/delete/upload pics, pretty much anything. Not familiar with your mixer. I have a KitchenAid and refuse to pay their exorbitant prices for the pasta rollers/cutters. A basic set - adjustable rollers, fettuccine and spaghetti cutters is $160. A full set runs a whopping $400 - twice as much as the damned mixer costs!! I'll stick to the Marcato.
MacKenzie Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Posted April 3, 2015 Tony, thanks for that edit tip, only today did I realize I spelled spaghetti incorrectly in the thread title, of all places
CeramicChef Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 MacKenzie - you are a very dangerous lady in the kitchen! If I ate half as good as you cook, my fat rat backside wouldn't waddle through a barn door! Beautiful cook, beautiful pics, simply BEAUTIFUL!
MacKenzie Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Posted April 3, 2015 Thanks, CC but you don't see any dessert there do you, that's my secret
CeramicChef Posted April 4, 2015 Report Posted April 4, 2015 MacKenzie - I can only imagine what dessert must be like given everything else you've posted! Kudos to ya!
GoFrogs91 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks, Cookie. All I know is that grilled food tastes great and I certainly enjoy doing the pixs. I'm cooking on a non KK grill but that is coming to an end shortly MK gets a KK. What color?
CeramicChef Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 MacKenzie - getting a KK? Darlin' I must have missed yet another memo! I thought you already had one! When is your KK scheduled to arrive? What size are you getting? Color? Habe you thought of an appropriate name? Inquiring minds wanna know! This is great! I can hardly wait to see all the uncrating pics of your new KK and especially the wonderful pics of your first KK cook! Have you thought about what your first cook on your new KK will be?
ckreef Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 MacKenzie - getting a KK? Darlin' I must have missed yet another memo! I thought you already had one! Your age is showing cc - LOL
CeramicChef Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 ckreef - huh? First my eyes went, then my legs, then my hair, then my .... what are we talking about? LOL! 1
MacKenzie Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Posted April 7, 2015 CC, you are still safe, I have not said anything except that I am getting one but it's not even on the water yet so mum's the word until things are more definite as to what it will look like:).
