Bought a Nespresso Pixie in red for stepdaughters to give DH for Fathers Day.
They wanted to get the $79.00 one from Harvey Norman but they had run out so we upgraded. They will give me the money they would have spent and my children will chip in too.

I had a very nice coffee at Cookies from her Nespresso but don't know which pod it was.
Now I get some smart new coffee cups to go with it. ;D

It is a gnocchi thing a ma jig. I would like to use it for butter but I think it would break.

Well I ended up buying a toaster for 39$ from target half price. Nothing fancy but will do the job till it dies! I also bought the pie maker from Myers, a cordless drill I have been wanting one for ages! And a trolley for my washing basket ( we have an old hills hoist at our new house and it is miles from the laundry  ;D)

You roll the gnocchi on it using your finger and it gets little ridges which makes the sauce stick to the gnocchi.

I was browsing Fishpond, looking for Fathers Day presents, when I found this rather unusual cookbook.  I wouldnt have thought there would be anything very fancy in there though  ;) and probably nothing TMX  :D

I had the same problem with my 5 in 1 Hally. i'm pretty sure if it's faulty they legally have to replace or give you your money back but I'm yet to hear back from the manager - that reminds me I should ring again today and try and get her.

So do I, maybe I should  have been more forceful. Received it July 13th, so its only about 6 weeks old.

Be more forceful Hally you don't usually get anywhere being nice. I start off being nice then have to get more assertive it's amazing how it can work
