I feel like a lot of recipes say to cook +pasta **al dente** but, if dried, you get a hard, chalky, stale center. +I also think that making your own pasta dough is typically fast, easy, +and tastes infinitely better. + +Given this is my first *Cooking* post **\[my first anything other than +Web Development post actually\]**, I\'ll preface it with my experience +with cooking **\[or the lack thereof\]**. In all honesty, I just +recently started cooking regularly. In the past I would get inspired to +cook something but get discouraged when it didn\'t turn out as good as I +wanted **\[even if the liars in my life said it was good\]**, and would +go back to grabbing Taco Bell after work. Recently I decided that +cooking should be approached like any other skill - starting at the +basics and following guides until you gain the knowledge and confidence +to experiment **\[and filled with feeling like you are terrible +regardless of how much you progress\]**. So because I still am very much +a beginner, I\'ll be following a lot of online recipes until I gain the +confidence to refactor dishes for myself. + +With that out of the way, I\'ll continue onto one of the meals I made +this week. + +I found a recipe for [Easy Homemade Pesto +Ravioli](https://frugalnovice.com/homemade-pesto-ravioli/) +which used store bought pesto sauce and the +link to the ravioli dough 404\'d. So because I knew I wanted to make my +own dough **\[given my rant at the start\]** I thought why not keep +everything *Homemade*, including the pesto sauce. + +So I found the recipe for [ravioli +dough](https://saltandbaker.com/how-to-make-ravioli/) +and [pesto sauce](https://damndelicious.net/2014/07/05/easy-homemade-pesto/) +and put all three of these recipes together. + +It turned out pretty tasty and I especially like having the light butter +as the sauce topping as I always felt the whole point of ravioli was to +have the flavor come from the stuffing and not the sauce on top. + +I realize how stupid I am now for not taking pictures of the process so +you can judge if you think it looks good but uhhh\... yeah. I didn\'t +take any pictures so I guess you just have to trust me that it was good. diff --git a/xavishobbies/content/web_development/_index.md b/xavishobbies/content/web_development/_index.md index cdfb14b..d5bc608 100644 --- a/xavishobbies/content/web_development/_index.md +++ b/xavishobbies/content/web_development/_index.md @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ --- -title: "Web_development" +title: "Web_Development" date: 2023-02-18T12:01:59-08:00 --- diff --git a/xavishobbies/layouts/index.html b/xavishobbies/layouts/index.html index 5940052..330fdf9 100644 --- a/xavishobbies/layouts/index.html +++ b/xavishobbies/layouts/index.html @@ -43,16 +43,16 @@

Circuit Design and Fabrication

Guides and tots posts on circuit design. I have some formal education but, as with everything, I end up forgetting a lot of it with time. This should cover theory [like running through labs from the Art of Electronics] as well as pcb fabrication [with things like KiCAD and PCB milling].

Watch me turn the best, freshest ingredients into absolute slop. I'll post links of the recipes I try and photos of my shot at it.

I'll post my banjo dittys and what methods I use to make people who don't play instruments think that I am good. I mostly play clawhammer banjo. I particularly like songs from the mountains of Appalachia.

Car "Restoration"

Oh boy, am I way over my head on this one. I'll post how I chose to destroy my 1985 Nissan 300z for the week. I have no idea what I am doing here. What is a camshaft?
