Zoysia Grows Where
Other Grass Doesn’t!

No weeding means no chemicals. You’ll never
have to spray poisonous pesticides and weed

Stays Green In Summer
Through Heat & Drought!
When ordinary lawns brown up in summer heat and
drought, your Zoysia lawn stays green and beautiful.
The hotter it gets, the better it grows. Zoysia thrives
in blistering heat (120˚), yet it won’t winter-kill to 30˚
below zero. It only goes off its green color after killing
frosts, but color returns with consistent spring
warmth. Zoysia is the perfect choice for water
restrictions and drought areas!
Our Customers Love
Their Zoysia Lawns!
One of our typical customers, Mrs. M.R. Mitter of
PA, wrote how “I’ve never watered it, only when
I put the Plugs in… Last summer we had it mowed
2 times... When everybody’s lawns here are brown
from drought, ours just stays as green as ever!”
Order Now And Save!
The more Amazoy™Zoysia Plugs you order, the more
you SAVE! And remember, once your Zoysia lawn is
established, you’ll have an endless supply of new Plugs
for planting wherever you need them. Order now!

Careful what you wish for

F
or a long time, I’ve wanted to own
a 1965 Shelby Cobra, a car some
have described as the ultimate
sports car. I never had the money
to make that wish a reality. But I
never stopped dreaming about getting behind the wheel of an original
427 Cobra and letting it roar down
a dragstrip at a speed only NASCAR
drivers could envy.
A popular songwriter wrote a
verse lamenting the consequences
that often follow our search for
something we don’t have, but wish
for fervently:
“Be careful what you wish for
’Cause you just might get it.
And if you get it, then you just
might not know
What to do with it, ’cause it
might just
Come back on you tenfold.”

Hmm …
My mother kept one eye on me
every Thanksgiving as I piled my
plate high with a sampling from every item on the dessert table. She
said the same thing every year: “Son,
your eyes are bigger than your stomach.” She was right, of course, but
the dream of “what could be” never
died. I always paid the price later.
And I thought about Elvis. His
is the story of many a celebrity who
spent their lives in the pursuit of
fame and fortune, but once achieved,
they couldn’t handle the prize. They
hadn’t even thought about how to
handle it. In the end, knowing what
to do with their success was the biggest challenge of their lives. Some
have failed utterly in their struggle to
meet that challenge.
Many wonder why the Founding
Fathers declared all citizens have the
right to “life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness.” Pursuit? Why not grant
us the right to happiness itself? Because the founders understood such
a goal usually becomes empty in its
value to us once we have it in hand.
Whether it is an extra slice of pie or
a pile of money, knowing what to do
with what we achieve often becomes
a far greater burden than our pursuit
of it.
I was still thinking about a Cobra the other day when the phone
rang. It was a friend with good news.
He was willing to sell his Cobra and
invited me over to take a look. I
couldn’t wait to get there. Its sleek
aluminum skin begged me to get
behind the wheel. The door, welded shut, forced me to hop over the
side and drop into the driver’s seat.
The car sat so low that I could have
touched the ground from my sitting
position. Once I was strapped in, my
posterior rested nearly flat on the
floor, legs straight out in front of me.
Shifting gears was a challenge,
and the heavy-duty clutch was difficult to engage. One harsh ride
around the block and I was ready
to get out. But I couldn’t. The door
didn’t open and my legs wouldn’t
bend to help me. All I could hear
was my mother’s voice: “Son, your
eyes are bigger …”
It’s My View
The book of Ecclesiastes tells us
that “to every thing there is a season,”
and this has certainly been a season of
change for GEORGIA Magazine. Our
longtime editor, Ann Orowski, retired
just last month after 20 years of dedicated leadership.
While she will be sorely missed,
I’m very proud and excited to be stepping into her role as editor, effective
with this issue. I hope my name is not
unfamiliar to our readers, as I have
been affiliated with the magazine since
1985 in a number of different roles,
from advertising sales to department
manager.
Now, as I begin this new chapter,
I look forward to working with the
magazine’s talented staff and our EMC
partners to continue GEORGIA Magazine’s tradition of success.
Speaking of our staff, next month
we’ll see yet another round of change,
as our senior associate editor, Victoria
Scharf DeCastro, retires after more
than 12 years. Her talents will also be
very much missed, but we wish her
well as she begins this new phase of
her life. We predict our readers will
still see her byline, and Ann’s, in these
pages from time to time.
When dealing with change, it’s
sometimes comforting to look back at
the past and see how it has informed
the present. That’s just what we’ve
done with this issue, as we commemorate Henry Ford’s legacy in Georgia.
See “Touching simple lives” on page
16 to learn how his philanthropy was
instrumental to the development of
Berry College, as well as the town of
Richmond Hill.
Last, but certainly not least, I’d
like to say a heartfelt “thank you” to
our loyal readers. You are the reason
we publish this magazine, and I look
forward to hearing from you as to how
we can make it an even more valued
part of your lives.

Racial equality
advances
In the 1950s, it was apparent that
black Americans were being deprived
of many fundamental rights, including
the right to vote in many Southern
states. While the 13th, 14th and 15th
amendments had sought to secure
equality for blacks after the Civil War,
for decades those who controlled the
governments in the South and even
the Supreme Court had ignored the
Constitution’s attempts to achieve
equality for the races through constitutional amendments.
An early victory in the civil rights
era was ending the practice of providing “separate but equal” facilities for
whites and blacks. In Brown v. Board
of Education of Topeka (1954), the
Supreme Court struck down the concept of “separate but equal,” by stating, “We conclude that in the field
of public education the doctrine of
‘separate but equal’ has no place.
Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.”
The court said black children had
been “deprived of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by 14th
Amendment.” Within a year, desegregation of public schools began.
With the enactment of the Voting
Rights Act of 1965, the federal government took a strong position supporting the right of blacks to vote. While
the 15th Amendment had sought to
achieve this nearly a century before,
local politicians, especially in the
South, had successfully deprived
blacks of their voting rights. Even
though “all men are created equal” is
written in our Declaration of Independence and “equal protection of the
laws” is written in the 14th Amendment, many public officials did not
support these principles.
The decision in Brown v. Board
of Education and the passing of the
Voting Rights Act advanced racial
equality in the civil rights era and
helped fulfill the intent of the 13th,
14th and 15th amendments.

Electric co-ops stay involved
Co-ops join deal to deploy
utility-scale solar power system
Flint Energies in Reynolds, together with Cobb Electric Membership Corp. (EMC) in Marietta and
Sawnee EMC in Cumming, will purchase the entire power output of a
131-megawatt (MW) photovoltaic
(PV) solar project to be constructed
outside of Butler. The electric cooperatives recently inked the deal with
Southern Co. subsidiary Southern
Power.
Southern Power selected First
Solar as the engineering, procurement and construction contractor
for the facility. First Solar, www.first
solar.com, is a leading global provider
of comprehensive PV solar energy
solutions.
Construction is scheduled to
begin in September 2015, and the
project is expected to achieve commercial operation in the fourth quarter of 2016. The electricity generated by the
facility will be sold under 25-year
purchase power agreements to the
participating electric co-ops. It will be
built in the Flint Energies’ service territory in Taylor County just off Georgia Highway 96.
Because all the state’s electric
utilities co-own the Integrated Transmission System, interconnections to
the larger electric power grid are relatively simple. Output of the power
sale will be allocated as 101 MW to
Cobb EMC, 15 MW to Sawnee EMC
and 15 MW to Flint Energies.
The solar facility will consist of
approximately 1.6 million thin-film
PV modules mounted on single-axis
tracking tables manufactured by First
Solar. From a size perspective, 911
acres is equal to 1.42 square miles of
land area covered by PV cells. That
will be the same as 826 football fields
tied together.
The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) in
Waynesboro is distributing GEORGIA Magazine’s “Liberty Notes on the Bill of Rights” booklet to libraries and
schools in the Waynesboro area.
GEORGIA Magazine Assistant Editor Jim Jess, author
of the “Liberty Notes” booklet, addressed the DAR meeting on Sept. 13 to kick off their annual Constitution Week
celebration. His speech covered the historical background
behind the first 10 amendments to the Constitution and
how this history influenced drafting the Bill of Rights.
During Constitution Week, Sept. 17-23, DAR chapters
across the nation recognized the 227th anniversary of the
signing of the U.S. Constitution in Philadelphia by distributing educational materials. To get a free copy of “Liberty
Notes on the Bill of Rights,” visit GEORGIA Magazine’s

Midway and its foundation awarded
16 grants totaling more than $22,000
last November to schoolteachers instructing students in grades K-12 in
Bryan, Liberty and McIntosh counties.
The winning teachers were
caught by surprise when the Bright
Ideas Prize Patrol came to their classrooms to present them with giant
balloon bouquets, gifts and a presentation check.
Earlier in 2014, teachers applied
online through the electric cooperative’s website to compete for grants of
up to $2,000 each.
The Bright Ideas program encourages teachers to develop creative, in-
novative programs that might not be
funded through the school system. A
panel of independent judges reviews
and scores the applications.
Bright Ideas is made possible
in part through the voluntary donations of Coastal Electric Cooperative’s
members who participate in Operation Round Up, a program where
members allow their electric bills to
be rounded up to the nearest dollar. Those nickels and dimes are
turned over to the Coastal Electric
Cooperative Foundation, which oversees the fund.

Last December, a group of employees at Walton
EMC in Monroe visited several hospitals delivering toys,
games, coloring books and toiletry items to children
who were not able to go home for Christmas. At one
hospital, co-op volunteers heard about a 4-year-old girl
who had been hospitalized for two months and whose
parents were unable to buy her anything because they
had not been able to work. Volunteers managed to pull
out some toys from what they had brought to make sure
Santa Claus came to see her as well.

In praise of the
small-town shopkeeper

pant legs are too hot
in the summer and too
scratchy under blankets in
the winter.
My old pj’s were getting
ratty, and it was time to buy
new ones. You would think
that shouldn’t be a problem
in the huge, sophisticated metropolis
of Atlanta. We have a branch of just
about every retail chain on the planet. But from recent experiences, it’s
been easier finding an $1,800 TV than
an $18 pair of short-length pajamas.
Not being proficient at online
shopping, I searched the old-fashioned way: door-to-store-to-store.
Kohl’s only carried pajamas in the
winter, but it was spring, and I
couldn’t wait till then. Target and Walmart had only
those with long sleeves
and long pant legs. If those
behemoths of American
retail didn’t have them, I
reasoned, there’s not much
chance the smaller department stores would.
One of the sleuths I put
on the case did tell me she saw some
at an upscale store in the mall for $50
a pair. That price would’ve kept me
up at night regardless of their comfort.
I gave up the hunt temporarily.
A few weeks later, I happened to
be in the North Georgia mountains,
strolling around Clayton. On a lark, I
wandered into a small-town country
department store. I asked the greeting clerk if they happened to carry
men’s shorty pajamas. “I think
so,” came the optimistic reply.
I followed him through a
narrow aisle, hooked a left into
another room and arrived at
what appeared to be the back
of the store. He bent over, rummaged through a low-lying
shelf of clothing and asked,
“What size do you wear?”
“Extra-large,” I replied.
“I’ve got three of them, two
blues and a gray,” he answered.
“$17.99 each.”
“I’ll take all three. Thank
you very much,” I said with the
aplomb of a skilled trader who
had just cornered the market in
shorty pj’s for the northern half
of Georgia.
I then started chatting with

Touching simple lives
Henry and Clara Ford’s legacy in Georgia
BY JANE F. GARVEY
Henry Ford’s mansion at Richmond Hill was begun in 1936. The back of the house faces the Ogeechee River; a subsequent owner installed
the pool. Today the house serves the community as a guest house and may be reserved for weddings.
H
enry Ford was a farm boy by birth and upbringing. His parents were William, an Irish
immigrant from Cork whose family originated in England, and Mary Litogot, the child of Belgian
immigrants. Born in Michigan in 1863, the future industrialist detested farm work, and after his mother died when
he was 13, he left the farm three years later to work in
Detroit as a machinist.
Even though Ford disliked farm life, he sought
refuge in rural Georgia in his middle years. By the 1930s,
he had begun to assemble land near a town called Ways
Station. Coastal historian Buddy Sullivan says that the
name dates to the 1850s, and the New Georgia Encyclopedia says it is named for William J. Way, whose rice
fields were prominent in the area.
Amassing a substantial amount of property in the
1930s—upward of 70,000 acres—Henry Ford in 1936
began construction on a Greek Revival-style residence
made of Savannah gray brick that faced the Ogeechee
River. The site had hosted a plantation back in the 18th
century, but Union Gen. William T. Sherman burned
it on his famous March to the Sea in late 1864. In its
20th-century life as a plantation center, the house was
surrounded by 55 acres of carefully tended lawns and
gardens. Today, it’s part of the centerpiece of 1,800-acre
Ford Plantation, a private community whose members
may house guests at the residence that Ford and his wife,
Clara, chose for their winter home. He named the place
Richmond Hill.

A dapper Henry Ford, complete with his trademark fedora, relaxes
on the steps of his Richmond Hill mansion. His wife, Clara, threw
large parties for upper crust society that Henry often escaped via a
tunnel to his rice mill laboratory.
The world’s first billionaire, Ford was controversial,
by turns humble and autocratic. He was a pacifist, yet
built a special plant to produce B-24s, and at its peak, the
plant rolled out one finished airplane an hour. The plane
was one of the workhorse aircraft of the “Mighty” Eighth
Air Force, memorialized in a museum not far from Richmond Hill, up Interstate 95 at Pooler.
He was a devout Anglican who as a young man
walked four miles every Sunday to attend church ser-

vices. He paid his employees generously enough to
enable them to purchase
the vehicle they produced,
yet he was virulently antiunion. Clara threatened to
leave him if he broke up his company rather than allow
unions into his factories. She won.
Clara was a stubborn woman. Even though she
had $150,000 worth of china and silver in her Georgia
home, she continued to darn her husband’s socks, as
she had done when they were newlyweds of modest
means. He hated darned socks. But she won that one
too, although he would often stop after leaving the
house, purchase new socks, donning them and discarding the darned ones before returning home. They loved
to dance and insisted that the schools they championed
taught the children to dance.
In Richmond Hill, Ford is remembered as a generous and involved member of the community who left it
substantially better than he found it. Sullivan put it this
way: “He was very interactive—he and his wife both—
with people in the local area. They spent a lot of time
each year and got out into the community a good bit.
They didn’t just come down here for a winter vacation.
They worked.”
When Ways Station was renamed Richmond Hill
in 1941, locals wanted to name it for Ford, but he flatly
refused. He suggested the name it bears today. Were he
still alive, he might be chagrined that a main thoroughfare is called Ford Avenue.
He learned that malaria was among the diseases
that debilitated the local population, so he worked to
eradicate it, draining low-lying lands to inhibit mosquito infestation and bringing in medical personnel to treat
the sick. He built a church, now the St. Anne Roman
Catholic Church, and a school.
Father Joseph Smith, St. Anne’s pastor, is a native
of Tybee Island. He says proudly of the historic building: “This thing is built like a ship,” adding that many
of the workers came from local labor. He credits Ford’s
attempt to break the cycle of poverty in the area for his
decision to use that resource. Although a new church is
being built to accommodate the growing parish, Smith
plans to keep the original, which, he says, needs a lot
of help to be maintained.
Smith points out that Ford built schools for both
black and white children, and health care was for everybody of both races. “He sent visiting nurses throughout Bryan County,” says Smith, “and they tended both
black and white patients.” He believes they may have
gone farther than just Bryan and adjacent counties, as
well, perhaps as far as Darien.
Ford never wanted recognition for his benevolence. Sullivan notes that Ford got his hair cut at the loFebruary 2015
cal barber shop, which still
stands. In the Richmond
Hill History Museum, the
barber’s chair he occupied
is displayed.
While Clara held brilliant socials whose guest lists included the likes of the
Rockefellers, DuPonts and Vanderbilts, he would escape
the confines of the gathering via a tunnel he’d constructed from the house to work on his many experiments at
the original plantation’s old rice mill. He was interested
in materials and agriculture. He had a pair of socks
made from the bark of the sweet gum tree, and these are
displayed in the museum.
Although repurposed entirely, the rice mill, designed
to store rice before it was shipped to Savannah, still
stands. In 2002, Barnett Rukin and his wife, Donna, purchased the old building, which he says local lore contends was there before the Civil War. The Rukins transformed the structure into a 6,000-square-foot residence
to which they added porches. The labor was completed
in 2004, thanks to the couple’s dogged determination
and the skills of New York architect Donald Rattner.
Generous supporters of Berry College, Henry and Clara Ford stand
with the school’s founder, Martha Berry, right, during one of their
many visits to the campus.
17
The Fords’ generosity to Berry College supplied the funds for the construction of its iconic Gothic-style central campus. Henry Ford’s last
visit to Berry College came just a week before his death.
What drew the pair to the challenge? “It had a wonderful patina,” says Rukin, noting that it’s on a fabulous
site with great views of the river. Although he doesn‘t
feel that Ford is looking over his shoulder as he brews
the morning coffee, he says, “I feel privileged to have
had the opportunity to do it,” but adds a bit ruefully,
“although I don’t know if I would have said that during
the process.”
Henry and Clara Ford’s influence in Georgia extended beyond Richmond Hill to Berry College near Rome
and began before they acquired the Richmond Hill
property. In 1921, Ford was introduced to Martha Berry
by his lifelong friend, Thomas Edison, who was his
neighbor from 1915 to 1930 at the home he had in Florida before building the Richmond Hill residence. Berry
asked Ford for a tractor “like the one for the queen of
Belgium,” she said, and he responded with a tractor that
had her image on the front. Over the next two decades,
he would purchase many tractors and other vehicles for
the school and build many of its structures.
Among the buildings at Berry College is the Gothicstyle Ford Complex. As he did later at Richmond Hill,
Ford never wanted any recognition for his donations.
Architect Harry Carlson sketched the buildings in 1923,
and work began on Clara Hall, named for Mrs. Ford, two
years later. The project was finished in 1931, before the
couple began their home at Richmond Hill.
Sparing no expense, Ford brought to the project the
talents of Italian artisans—stonemasons and stained-glass
18
specialists—to create dormitories, a dining hall, classrooms, an auditorium and many other facilities needed
for the school.
Ford’s contributions continued after the facility was
completed. Archives at Berry containing correspondence
between Berry and Ford’s general secretary, E.G. Leibold,
reveal a generous check for $25,000 in 1929, an amount
today worth about $340,715. The amount was part of a
nearly $4 million investment Ford made in the institution.
Why was Ford so interested in Berry? Despite his
having eagerly left farm life as a young adult—as did
many farm-born children—he remained interested in
agricultural subjects and experimentation all his life.
And he was determined to break the cycle of poverty, a
goal Berry, herself a daughter of wealth, had long since
embraced. Berry College—or as the founder called them,
the “Berry schools”—was devoted to educating poor children, and that was a lifelong Ford passion.
Ford stayed close to Berry College throughout his
life. He died only a little more than a week after his last
visit to the college in 1947. He was 83.

National Center for Civil and Human Rights celebrates MLK
BY KATHY WITT
I
n 1963, the Rev. Martin Luther King
Jr. stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.,
and shared his vision of transforming
a nation of discord into a “beautiful
symphony of brotherhood.” Fiftyone years later, the National Center
for Civil and Human Rights, which
opened in Atlanta in 2014, gives
King’s dream full expression in its galleries and mission.
“The National Center for Civil and
Human Rights is an organization that
believes in the promise of Dr. King’s
dream,” says interpretation curator
Dina Bailey. “Our vision is to harness
Atlanta’s legacy of civil rights in order to strengthen human rights movements around the world. We serve as a
place to reflect on the past, transform
the present and ultimately inspire the
future by empowering people to take
actions—big and small—to make the
world a better place.”
A key goal of the organization
is to keep the spotlight firmly fixed
20
on the need for all citizens to take
personally the protection of every
human’s rights. Sharing stories of
courage and struggle in the center’s
various exhibits encourages individual empowerment.
There are a number of mustsees, including personal papers and
other items that belonged to King in
the Voice to the Voiceless gallery. As
the exhibiting institution of the Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr.
collection, these handwritten speeches and other works—chosen for
King’s personal notations scribbled
in the margins—are rotated into the
gallery every four months. (The full,
13,000-piece collection is housed at
the AUC Woodruff Library’s Archives
Research Center.) Some would become the activist and humanitarian’s
most well-known decisions, actions
and speeches. Strategies of the Civil
Rights Movement will be the exhibition on display through May 3, 2015.
“The collection gives visitors an
insider’s look at the mind and philosophies of the man behind the
civil rights movement,” says LaTasha
Smith, director of communications.
In the Rolls Down Like Water:

I
f asked to decide between healthy
foods and those that are pleasing
to the taste buds, which would you
pick? Are you willing to eat healthy
even if it means giving up foods you
like? Very often it seems our desire to
eat in a more healthful way causes us
to choose one side over the other.
How did it ever get to the point
where we were made to choose between foods that are comforting and
foods that are good for us? Couldn’t
it be, shouldn’t it be, that we can eat
what we like in a healthy way? Isn’t
it about time this division between
what is healthy and what is good is
erased?
Most of us want to eat in a more
healthful way, but none of us wants
to give up the tasty morsels that really satisfy. Can’t good food be good
for me, we ask? The answer for this
culinary conundrum is not new but
rooted in the front-porch common
sense we have all grown up hearing

Turnip greens served raw as a salad? This interesting twist on a

‘I use the “half-andhealthy-swap”

for whole milk I will use
half whole and swap

and believing to be true.
The bridge for this great divide is
found in three simple ideas that you
likely first heard from your mother or
grandmother: Eat your fruits and vegetables, eat in moderation, and clean
your plate.
The benefit of eating plenty of
fruits and vegetables has long been
understood as key to staying healthy.
Moreover, science has validated what
Mom knew instinctively: These nuggets of nature provide a host of vitamins and minerals as well as much of
the fiber we need each day for good
health. It is no wonder our lunch pails
through the years were packed with a
piece of fruit, or that peas and carrots
were the stars of the dinner table.
There is something more to these
common-sense health foods than the
nutrients they provide; they also taste
great! Imagine your favorite casserole
or soup without the onion, bell pepper, celery or garlic. Void of these
delicious vegetables, our culinary creations would be less healthy for sure
and, most certainly, less flavorful. So,
if you are seeking ways to lighten up
and be healthier but don’t want to sacrifice the taste of good food, then simply listen to the time-honored advice
and eat your fruits and vegetables.
Another old idea with timeless
significance that helps us lighten up

‘It is hard to make foods taste good without butter, so to lighten

Sorghum Syrup Vinaigrette

and eat better is moderation or knowing when to say when. Moderation
in what we eat and how we eat can
make the difference between moving
closer to good health or farther from
that goal.
Eating healthy typically involves
a list of “do’s” and “don’ts.” Fat,
salt, sugar and other such foods are
usually at the top of the list of
“don’ts.” Yet, when used in moderation, these ingredients can also be on
the “do” list.
Moderation allows us the freedom to use a bit of cream in a sauce,
a little butter on vegetables and a
pinch of salt to finish a favorite dish.
If we get used to the idea of knowing
when to say when and using these
ingredients in moderation, then they
can always be included as a part of
healthy eating.
Finally, when our plates are
crowded with fruits and vegetables
seasoned just right with a pinch of
salt and pat of butter, we can easily follow that other piece of advice
we’ve always gotten, which is clean
your plate.
Our mothers and grandmothers
knew that good health was a result
of eating and enjoying healthy meals.
Their sage advice simply stated is that
the healthiest food in the world, if not
eaten, doesn’t help.
The truth is we want foods that
are good for us that are also good to
us. And one idea can’t be sacrificed
in favor of the other. The great divide
will be bridged when we discover
that eating lots of the healthy things
like fruits and vegetables can taste
great with a little butter and a pinch
of salt. And what shall we do then,
but eat and enjoy?
Chef Joe Engelbird has worked
for two decades as a chef, nutritionist, registered dietitian, teacher and
writer. He lives in Carrollton with his
wife, Jennifer, and four daughters.
Fresh pasta is easy to prepare and delicious topped with butternut squash cream.

PHILLIP VULLO
Place flour in a mixing bowl and
make a well in the center. Place the
eggs, oil and water into the flour well
and begin to whisk until all ingredients are incorporated into the flour.
Continue to incorporate the flour
until a soft dough forms. Turn the
dough and any excess flour onto a
clean table and begin kneading. The
dough has been sufficiently kneaded
when it is smooth and forms a round
ball. Allow dough to rest for 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
Using a pasta machine, begin
rolling out the pasta dough (at room
temperature) at the thickest setting.
Continue rolling and folding the
dough, gradually thinning the dough.

water for 5-6 minutes until tender or
allow the pasta to dry for later use
and storage.
To store pasta, seal up any uncooked pasta in plastic bags and refrigerate or freeze. Serves 4-6.

zucchini, yellow squash and onion in a bowl along with the olive
oil and toss to coat. Season lightly
with salt and pepper and roast until well browned. Meanwhile, place
fresh herbs in the same bowl and set
aside. When vegetables are cooked,
toss in the fresh herb mixture adding additional seasoning as desired.
Serves 3-4.
Warm Brussels Sprouts

1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts, peeled
1 quart boiling water
1/4 cup crispy rendered bacon pieces
2 crushed garlic cloves
1/4 cup thinly sliced sweet onion
2 tablespoons melted butter
