Thanks, Claudia for the food and the experience of watching you make that gorgeous pasta! And i even had a hand in taking some of the photos... to think I contributed in some small way to this wonderful post. And, you've inspired me to someday soon buy the attachments and put my roller pasta machine away in the closet. It never stays put and you made it look so easy.

It's as easy as pie to use and fun as hell. I also have the meat grinder attachment (a must have), the citrus juicer (also very helpful if you're trying to juice many, many limes to many, many margaritas), and the sausage stuffer (which I haven't used yet, but will someday I'm sure. I also agree that making your own pasta is very enjoyable. I'll be making some of my own as soon as finals are over so I can take my time. Your spaghetti with clam sauce looks SO good, by the way, and I will definitely be making this because I LOVE clam sauce AND I too bought some clams at Costco. However, I have to admit that I love Paula Deen. No, NOT for her food... it's just too damn fatty and outrageous and well... country. I'm not country. But I love HER. She's just such a happy person and sometimes that's nice to see. It's the same reason that I love Racheal Ray. They seem like cool people and I'd hang with them any day.
