I've asked him not to, but whether he listens to me who knows....I'm not really a crystal person....I collect temuka stoneware....a little more robust than crystal

Can you update on the electric pasta machine from Aldi, I was seriously contemplating it BUT the few things I have bought there have been sub standard, unfortunately . Would love to know how this machine goes:).

Used the pasta machine today. I have never made pasta before. Did some fettuccine. I had trouble with spaghetti.
That was me nothing to do with the machine. It worked fine but I have nothing to compare it with. Longevity will be the key.
See how much I use it and whether it stands up to the wear.

If your not happy, you have 60 days satisfaction guarantee I think, then the warranty of course.
Interested to hear your update Mcmich......certainly would be easier having both hands free for the rolling/ cutting.

......which I must confess to another purchase that turned up today 



I know I bought a manual pasta machine a couple of weeks ago, but I thought this would be easier for rolling the dough out with the KA, with both hands.
.....unfortunately my big flaw is buying before thinking  the other will get used though

Mcmich how was the spaghetti  more trouble?

2 perennial wallflowers, a small creeping geranium, something tall and self supporting border plant, a new one to me and 2 of tall, grey leaves with bright pink flowers. Sorry names out side me inside!

Got to get back better so can carryon planting.
I am making a garden from scratch, it is slow going.

Hoping to take cuttings this autumn and double the plants I bought.


The sports type bags I got from amazon are much smaller than expected which is annoying.

Mcmich how was the spaghetti  more trouble?

Gert

The spaghetti tended to stick together and I had trouble catching it as it was coming out of the rollers.
Maybe I rolled the sheet too thin? I'll give it another go but want to try ravioli.
