Bio
I spent many years reading and writing in my adolescence but have found inspiration has lapsed since I have become more settled into my adult life--a career and marriage. I look forward to changing that and sharing my creations with you.

Make Your Own Pasta
I recently bought a pasta attachment for my Kitchen Aid mixer and I have never enjoyed cooking so much. It might seem simple and silly--dried pasta in the store is fairly inexpensive and its a labor of love to mix up the dough and cut it into whatever type of pasta you're craving, but it truly has been so much fun. When I first began making my own pasta I mixed the dough by hand as most of the websites recommend (and rather, insist upon) but I've recently turned toward mixing the dough in my mixer and man-oh-man is that a time saver (and a muscle saver too). I just put the mixer on the first setting and let it slowly combine all the ingredients. I usually mix for ten minutes total or so, adding a little bit of water here and there if I think the ingredients aren't combining after a reasonable amount of time. It's super slick! I figure I'm using my mixer anyway with the pasta attachment, so there really isn't much of a reason not to use it for the dough creation process as well. Call me a cheater, whatever. I can handle it.

A Reflection: One Day I (Maybe) Became a Writer
I think it’s weird how different writing is now. I wish I remember how exactly I started, but I think it’s one of those things that just happened. One day I put pencil to paper and, eventually, fingers to a keyboard, and just poured my heart out. Every thought, feeling, emotion…everything.

Explosions
Explosions. You explode into a swirling mix of smoke and sparks when you are entranced by the potential or actuality of love, a beautiful firework, bright and confident, bringing pleasure to both yourself and the world around you. But when love ends? You explode as well, only internally, burning up your happiness and dreams, leaving behind a smoldering, uninhabitable mind full of doubt and loneliness.
