Homemade Pasta

This year I have decided to learn to make more food dishes. It's a good skill to have, always. I've learned about a half-dozen Japanese recipes and am branching out into Western dishes that I enjoy, but cannot buy the ingredients for here (instead I make them). The most recent foray was with my friend, Emina. We followed this video to learn how easy (and time-consuming) it is to make pasta from hand. It was an awesome experience and the pasta was far better than anything from the store.
