Today is on a "Knead the dough basis" only

Four different doughs today: standard white batard-y loaf, pizza dough, mostly wholewheat (in the oven right this minute) and lasagna noodles.
We had Boo's friend B over to learn to make pasta, while Skibo was off at a birthday party. We had plenty of fun making the dough, rolling out the lasagna noodles, and generally doing kids-can-cook-ish things. Unfortunately, I lost track of the time, and the lasagna didn't make it into the oven until gone 5:30, and B's mother decided he needed an early enough night that they had to leave before dinner. So now I feel really bad about that mixup --- I probably shouldn't: there were lots of little "nearly sick child" distractions going on between two little kids who are teetering on the edge of something. Still, we have lots leftover, and the leftovers are actually as good as or better than the first day -- and they may be able to come and eat and run tomorrow.

Yours, rolling (but not in) the dough,
N.
