Friday night, we had a friend visiting. We were on two missions - she wanted to learn how to make noodles, and she was delivering kitten unto us that she had been fostering (we already had two, and decided that we had the room and love for another.) Upon reflection, making a slightly complicated meal like homemade pasta perhaps wasn’t the best choice for a night when we were going to be surrounded by hissing felines, but she was only going to be here one night, so. At any rate, injuries were minimal (the only blood shed was Jeff’s) and the pasta was delicious.
