Denise, we need to make a plan - for more than just tea! We are most certainly kindred spirits:

after making your own [pasta], there's no way that buying in store can be anything but unsatisfying

I totally agree, and no not snobbish, it's the truth!

My mother also made meals from scratch and that's where it began for me - that and having fresh vegetables from the garden.

Thank you for the kind words and have a good weekend!
