THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

[Frozzie]

yay JD ...homemade pasta coming up 

[judydawn]

I mainly bought it for rolling savoury biscuits but my oven is still waiting to be fixed so that's on hold for the moment.  Will eventually give pasta making a go so thanks for the tips girls.  I could just use my clothes airer couldn't I? 

[Yvette]

Good luck with the pasta making Judy, I have never made pasta before it will be interesting to see what you think

[fundj&e]

You could depending on the thickness of the pasta
I just have a long broom  type of wood   resting on 2 chairs

DH and I paid a visit to the Miele showroom this afternoon - the latest addition to the appliance list for the new kitchen:  built-in coffee machine. 

[KarenH]

By the way - great new photos johnro and frozzie!

[judydawn]

It's certainly different to normal coffee machines Karen - is it easy to clean?  You might as well go the whole hog and finish your kitchen with everything that opens and shuts - you've waited so long for it you deserve the works.

[KarenH]

It is very easy to clean JD - that was one of the first things I got them to show me in the store!  Apart from us both getting free coffees made for us, and the kids getting free bikkies and dropping crumbs all over the showroom floor and leaving fingerprints on the shiny appliances

It is built in to the wall, above the oven, so saves bench space.

[johnro]

Thanks Karen - I have been pleased with our miele appliances - do not have the coffee machine though

Maddy, I wish you lived closer.
