With sound effects too – oh my…

Yes, we have a pasta roller. It’s the least used kitchen tool we have, mainly because it takes so effing lone. Pasta tastes great, though.

Hmm. It’s idiet day off tomorrow. If I get up very early, I could have some nice ravioli ready for lunch….

I got one for Christmas in ’08. I used it once for tagl… talg… tagliat…… pasta ribbbons.
messy, laborious, time consuming and annoying. it went to a charity shop after last year’s house move.

You just need to practice with it.

5 mins to make the dough.
60 mins in the fridge to rest.
10 mins rolling and ravioli making. You could do tagliateli in a couple of minutes.

Job done.

I can walk to Waitrose and get fresh pasta and walk home again in less than 10 mins.

Living less than a 5 minute walk from Waitrose might 😉

you haven’t seen my walk

If you have winter MTB shoes or ski boots it’s a “must have”. The classic metal one obviously.

is it for cleaning under your toe nails?

Anyone who uses a pasta roller and thinks using a grinder/home espresso machine ‘is a faff’ is a hypocritical cretin who needs a slap (with a dolphin friendly line caught fish)

Only one form of pasta is acceptable….

is it for cleaning under your toe nails?

I sincerely hope it’s toe-nails.

Otherwise, it’d go well with that heating gadget with the horns.

Is that ^^ a metal temporary Toe Nail?

I could do with one of those, my right big toenail is about to come off.

Is plain old dried pasta just fresh pasta that has been dried?

dunno, quick google and I can’t find the info, thought it was in an old STW actually, diet/training article. Pretty sure they said durum wheat pasta was the one to go for, google suggests durum pasta for carbo loading before a race but other pastas are better for general nutrition.

I said I wanted a pasta maker for Christmas. Good job I spotted my typo before I posted my letter to Santa

I asked for one for Xmas and got an imperio proper one. Broke the cheapo one I had before so it was a considered choice and worth the expense. Plus food is one of my main hobbies, and cooking is how I relax in an evening. fresh pasta tastes amazing!

If I spent that long getting to the point of cooking, then I’d be done!

Horn shoe horns for us

lambchop ^^

I have those very bleedin shoes. (Though the toes don’t turn up anywhere near as much!)

Those boots = that short prick from top gear, and about as trendy as your average archeologist on time team.

“Trendy”

😆

My pasta roller went to the charity shop a few weeks ago – life’s too short

got one of these last week

There was one on Flog it recently. Very William Gibson. There’s also an antique shop in Glastonbury that specialises in instruments has, or had, several in the window.
