Bowtie Pasta

Briant loves his Aunt Lisa's famous Bowtie Pasta. He is always talking about how good it is and how nobody makes it like Aunt Lisa.
Well, we've had the recipe for a while so, today I decided to make it. I told Briant I would make it, but he decided he needed to start it with out me. I walked in to see him with the 'melted butter' it called for, only halfway melted, and being poured into the crockpot. I said to him, "That's not all the way melted, you should put it in a little longer." To which he replied, "Oh, it will be fine." A few minutes I heard him mumbling something like, "Hmmm, maybe I should have put this in a little longer... where's the hair dryer?"
This would be my husband finishing the
butter melting process with a hair dryer:

Usually, when we return from church, this is where you will find Briant until dinner is ready to eat. Staring at the contents in the crockpot, licking his lips and talking about how he can't wait.
YUMMY! The finished product. I might I say, it was absolutely delicious!
Briant is very happy that there are plenty of leftovers!

I decided after dinner that I wanted to make a white cake... FROM SCRATCH. I've never done that before, and it turned out pretty good, for my first attempt. Of coarse there are always things to learn for the next time. After I frosted, Briant got really excited and insisted on putting on the sprinkles. I think he said something like, "Step away from the cake...".
This is how Briant rolls... with cake. Let me know if you want the recipe.

you two are funny. That is good pasta your aunt makes. And only the best are sweet bakers so we must be pretty awesome Melissa! I'm suprised Braint didnt insist that the frosting had to be pink...Braint said that he didnt think you would be able to get off work to come to Tia's wedding on Dec 17th...that is too bad i wanted to meet you!

Great job!! I like Briant's shirt...where'd he get it?

Ashley said...

wow, why can i so easily see mike doing the thing with the hair dryer? sprinkles are always a hot object of debate in our house (i think less is more, he doesn't like to see frosting.)

nice to know it's not just mine.
