Making the "This is the reason I married you" dinner:

I picked up most of the ingredients fresh on Tuesday and was tempted to also buy the noodles. Only to be on the lazy safe side. Because I haven't used the twelve-year-old pasta maker¹ since the remodel, that is, in my new kitchen.

Would it still work?!

Moreover, I had used up all the flour making Christmas cookies.

Well, I got more flour last night and decided to give it a go. And the pasta maker works great, just like always. And the noodles came out great, cooked up tender and smooth.

Even though he didn't come right out and say, "This is the reason I married you," I know he was thinking it. :-)
