At my wedding all of my mom's family left almost immediately after dinner. (Reception started at 5:30, mass exodus at 7 of more than half of the guests.) Maybe I should have delayed dinner and I could have enjoyed their company for longer?

I am just so annoyed right now. Just got home from my 10k, and while I was running, I was able to see what place I was in (wasn't a huge race) and I know I finished 3rd for females. I was so excited because top 3 get awards. Yay!
However, I look on the computer at the actual results, and it has me placing 5th. I'm 99% sure the 3rd and 4th place females cheated. They never passed me. And to make it worse, one is in my running club and she ran a 5k yesterday 10 minutes slower than her supposed 10k time. Just not possible that she beat me today.
Unfortunately, I don't have proof that she and her daughter (other woman who supposedly beat me) cheated, but I'm just so mad. Still think I'm going to say something to the race organizers. Like who cheats in a race?
Morning! Sorry about CD1 requiressnacks I am there with you today. Good luck to the 10k-ers today!!
Does anyone remember what thread the recipe for fresh pasta was in the other day? I'd like to try that out today.
Drink thread from Friday page 7... Here s recipe 4 eggs, 3 cups flour, 1tsp Olive oil.
Let it rest about an hour after its all mixed together then you can either hand roll it and cut it if you have the patience of a saint, or put it through a pasta cutter
ETA and a dash of salt
Oooh. I've never added the olive oil. I just use egg, flour, salt and a little cold water. I'll have to try the olive oil next time.

Super lame. I'd say something to the organizers, maybe other folks noticed something too.
I'd be annoyed, too. How far away is it? Is it even worth going?
It's about a 35 minute drive. I kinda don't want to go now but it's their anniversary.
I feel like I kinda know what happened. My mom is like me in that she doesn't like letting down/making things difficult for people (even if it's not a big deal) she probably invited them, they asked to bring the dogs, she didn't want to inconvenience them or reverse the invite so she said yes, because it's easier to let down/inconvenience family because you know they'll still love you.
Or something lol
That's it exactly. FIL does this too. He caves to everyone else, then the family gets the shaft on stuff like this.

That's a bunch of bullshit. How awful. Definitely say something.
I like that it only has to rest a half hour. The thing I don't like about bread is that the whole process takes forever. I'm excited to try this out.
I was super surprised how easy it was, you'll have to let me know how it goes! My only tip, the first time I made it I was worried about adding too much flour when rolling it and cutting the pasta but you don't really need to worry about that and it makes it so much easier to handle the dough. <- I honestly don't know if that sentence makes any sense but my head hurts too much to figure it out, sorry I'm worthless today!
It made sense to me.
I felt the same way the first time I tried it. All "OMG, what if the flour I'm putting down to roll it out messes up the texture?" Nah, it's fine. Use as much as you need.
I've also gotten to the point where I just sort of wing it on amounts of stuff. If I use 1 egg, 1 cup flour and it comes out too dry, I just add a little cold water. Meh.

Good job at the race!
I would definitely say something. I don't if your race had race photography (where they would tag runners by their names/numbers and make photos available for viewing), but you might be able to use that to prove that they cheated.
My dad runs a lot of races, and he once lost out on placing because someone cheated in his race. He knows a lot of runners in his age group in the area, and when he saw the results, he was shocked that a guy he knows is much slower than him supposedly beat him. When he viewed the race day pictures of that runner's name/race number, he saw that it was a completely different (much younger) guy that was running using the other guy's race bib. He was able to show the pictures of the cheating guy to the race management people and they fixed the places accordingly.

Yep, same thing happened to us. Between that and the fact that we had at least 20 people RSVP yes and then not show up, we had a ton of leftovers and a fairly short wedding.
We're back home now. My dad got first in his age group at the 10k! Then we went out to breakfast with my parents and grandma.
As soon as we got home, H fell asleep on the couch. He can nap anywhere at anytime. I'm jealous. It takes me forever to fall asleep during the day, so I hardly ever take naps.

Thanks - I am happy with my race, but cheaters suck. But yes, there were photographers there so I wrote an email just explaining the situation. I run a ton of races too just like your dad so I know when something doesn't look right. Hope they fix it. And btw, congrats to your dad on his 1st place finish (I think you posted that he got first)!
You guys in so excited to make this for DH when he comes home tomorrow. Thank youuuuuuuuui !!!!!!!!!! X a million.
Also, if you're using any whole wheat flour, make sure you're still rolling it out in regular white flour. Otherwise you'll get a gritty texture to the noodles. Same goes if you're making whole wheat rolls.

Not having a great day so far. DS woke up in a horrible mood this morning and has been testing me to my wits end. I'm so frustrated and I'm trying not to snap at him but damn has he been rotten today We have a birthday party to attend at 3 and he's refusing to nap. How judged would I be for bringing a flask to a child's party? I kid I kid! I do hear wine calling my name tonight though.

I hope he gets a nap soon and you can get a break!
