You can't beat that and could easily spend that much money in gas driving to pick up your wheat! You might call a nearby LDS church or cannery and see if they know of a local source. That's another option. Matt, another reader pointed out that http://www.honeyvillegrains.com charges only $4.99 for shipping.

I'm in Texas and would love to be able to find some place I can drive to and pick it up instead of spend a mint on shipping. Any ideas? Where is the best place to purchase wheat and other grains?

It's taken a couple of tries for me to get my pasta right with it. For starters, know that durum is high-gluten, and so if you add eggs to it, it will be too thick and hearty for italian pasta. Great for stews or German noodles, maybe, but not for spagetti, etc. Give it a try--we really like it; we taste a BIG difference!

My kids love it. I think part of the reason they love it is because they get to use the pasta machine and crank the "fun" handle to make the noodles. They usually enjoy eating whatever they get to help make. I actually really like homemade noodles, too. It's not going to have too much of a taste difference than your white wheat, but I think it's way better than store-bought. There are a few things that can affect your enjoyment of the pasta. If it's too thick, I think that would be unappealing, pretty "gummy". Also, maybe you could try a different recipe. Some only have water and salt, but I like it with some olive oil and egg. Hope that helps! From Chrystalyn: This might be one of those things where it's all a mater of taste preference. My kids love it.
