We all had to show up with a dish or a cake or whatever that we'd made 'from scratch' and without the aid of electrical gadgetry.
I made Silk Handkerchiefs with Pesto Sauce from Jamie's Italy--think homemade pasta and homemade basil pesto. Extra points for hand-rolling the pasta (no pasta machine here!). But I lost points for forgetting the rule and banging the basil in the food processor at one point. Oops :)
I felt like Popeye after rolling the pasta. Throbbing forearms. Ouch.
Three cheers for Pete and Pamela's Luddite Food Festival!

oh man, I didn't realise you'd hand rolled the pasta - that's serious commitment! It was all very yummy though.
Yeah, it hurt. It was the first time I'd made pasta all by my lonesome, too. So I was pumped that it worked as well as it did.
I loved your Gnocchi, also. Del & Suds' Ragu... oh! The breads. The cake and pie! it was all so good.
