Hi Dave!

jk>> Makes about 1 lb. pasta

>> Ingredients:
>> 6 ounces Whole Wheat flour
>> 3 ounces All Purpose flour
>> 3 ounces Semolina flour
>> 2 eggs
>> 1 egg white
>> 6 Tablespoons water

As hard as it is to believe, I am STILL having problems on my daughter's space that she set up for me to run filegate.net... :(   I think I am lost for the
first time in my computer-life.  I am running two instances of BBBS over here.

_This_ one is on my local box where I am typing right now  -  It is the main node running with the BBBS/Li key file I paid for from Kim Heino for IIRC 15 nodes.

The second instance I am running is using Kim's default free 3 nodes you get for free with BBBS, and I am running that instance on the site my daughter set up for me on Digital Ocean as a point off my 1:261/38 address.  So eventually if I get things going correctly, when you see 1:261/38.75-76, that is my "nother node"  <grin>.

Ah.. another man brought down by bane desires <g> He did seem like a decent cook, in the few shows that did watch.

I liked the above recipe I posted since it really did make very good whole wheat pasta, which there is no doubt is so much better for you than that made with standard all-purpose or even bread flour.

Now seeing your Grandmother's recipe, I do want to try it to see the difference.

That quote reminds me of George Bernard Shaw... :)
