You got those eggs from a farm didn't you? Grocery store eggs aren't orange they're sickly pale yellow

[matwade76]

@N0rthernGamer Actually they're not even from a farm, as here in Switzerland you can buy pretty good organic, free range eggs from the supermarket. I always choose those as I don't want to support factory farming in any way.

Can't you just stick everything in a mixer ? What difference does it make if you do it by hand? Thanks. :0)

[matwade76]

@Pchelka77 Hey there. You can do it in a mixer, but I find it easier to get the proportions right (i.e. exactly how much flour to use) this way. Anything to avoid over flouring the dough, making it hard and unmalleable!

@kuchiharu Mine did too. All part of the learning curve ;-)

Eggs from free-range chickens tend to be more orange because of the protein diet of bugs, which is one of their natural food sources. Chickens were never designed to eat just a corn diet, and the eggs show it.

@joshuaschimanski Hi Joshua. You're arguing against the traditional Italian way of making pasta? Very brave man ;-) The benefit this way is that there's less washing up and you can mix in a little flour as you go.
