Pasta Day!

Today at work Adam took the time to make gnocchi and angel hair pasta! He has such a passion and talent that I love listening to him talk about food. Weird thing is he wants to be a firefighter not a chef?!!?

Here Adam is rolling out the angel hair dough.....he added spinach to it!

And voila! Angel Hair Pasta!

I think I need to buy a pasta roller. It was so much fun!







Isn't that the neatest little roller. Much better than using a fork!
He added heirloom tomatoes to the gnocchi dough.



The finished gnocchi with a cream sauce, asparagus and more heirloom tomatoes! YUM!

Grand Manan Island

We took a day trip to Grand Manan Island. It is only about an hour from St Andrews. The island is only accessible by a 90 minute ferry ride.

Beautiful, rugged scenery.........but the fog was crazy! And it was so windy that we could not find a place to picnic that we could keep the BBQ lit!









On the way over to the island we saw 3 porpoises and on the way back a seal. It was a fun day.
