Wow…homemade rigatoni. Bet it will be amazing.
And my heart goes out to all of the families and individuals who were affected by 911 which is really everyone…but praying for those who lost loved ones especially.
9/11-01 was a day just like this weather-wise. Â But so quiet outside after 9:03a. Â No planes in the sky was eerie, especially when the reports were that one was close to Pittsburgh. Â My husband called me to say that a plane had run into the World Trade Center tower and to turn on the TV. Â I envisioned a small private plane hitting the tower. Â Turned on the TV just in time to see the second plane hit. Â Could not believe it! Â My husband had business associates who were on their way that morning to Morgan Stanley in the World Trade Center. Â By God’s providential hand, they had a later appointment. Â To realize America was under attack was mind-numbing. Â I have a good friend who is a pilot in the Air Force and was on duty that day. Â I remember his dear parents being so concerned because of where he was. Â My mother-in-law had neighbors who lived in Manhattan at that time because they were on Broadway. Â They have since retired and moved to Pittsburgh and would say how horrific that day (including the ones which followed) was.
I am really intrigued by your homemade rigatoni using the Kitchen-Aide pasta attachment. Â Will you please do a post on this?
As I write this, I have on the TV and the ceremonies in NYC are being televised with pairs of family members reading names of those lost on 9/11. This day always makes me so unsettled. The weather today in Boston is exactly as it was 20 years ago…clear blue sky, sun shinning, an ordinary September day but 20 years ago, the most horrific day in this country’s history. I watched the 9/11 documentary the other night. Even to this day, what happened seems beyond surreal. The scenes in that film…especially the faces of people who, in a split second, just vanished from this world…cannot be forgotten.Â
The recipe for the Cinnamon Apple Coffee Cake is essentially ripped from a previously published recipe by Chef John on All Recipes. There are helpful comments on the All Recipes site, including a video. It looks like the video from the blogger on YouTube has taken down.
I was walking through my house this morning, and all of a sudden got the chills.  Not because of the temperature- I live in Florida, and it’s in the 80s, but because of what day this is. To me this day is always unsettling, a strange day. I remember where I was standing at work and what I was wearing. I was working at a large hospital at the time (now retired). A patient of mine called me in her room to see the images on TV. Throughout the facility there was shock and disbelief. How could this happen? Wow! Today breaks my heart. I’m so sorry for everyone who lost a loved one and whose lives were forever changed. We will never forget.
