Manu from Manu’s Menu was our Daring Cooks lovely June hostess and has challenged us to make traditional Italian cannelloni from scratch! We were taught how to make the pasta, filling, and sauces shared with us from her own and her family’s treasured recipes!
I recently learned about the ulnar nerve, or rather what it was called. The rolling out of fresh pasta dough with my French rolling pin are what led to my enlightenment. After about 30 minutes of trying to roll the life out of the dough get the dough thin enough, I noticed that the outer edge of my right palm and pinky had gone numb! In response to my tweet about this, Victoria said it was the ulnar nerve: Point of Enlightenment. 25 out of my 30 years have been spent making music with my hands and I was unaware of this term. Now which makes you smarter, cooking or music?
