Christmas Presents

My present - pasta maker

I was inspired by an Italian cooking class to make my own pasta. It tastes AMAZING and has about as much in common with supermarket pasta as a Sara Lee cake has with a home-made cake. With this latest aquisition I think I have all the kitchen tools appliances I desire... although never say never :) I've made 2 batched of pasta on it already - one spaghetti and one tortolini. Yummy!



Tim's present - remote controlled helicopter

You can't see it very well on the carpet, but it's a Black Hawk. I will endevour to video its maiden flight when it happens.

Yum! Is it hard to make? I'd love to try some homemade pasta.

it's really easy - takes about 10 minutes per portion (i.e. one person) but you need the machine

Looks very impressive. May be you can show me how it works when we're in Melb :)
