Oh how easy Tomoe is pleased. Just look at that face as she prepares to use the new pasta maker. I am generally pretty stingy when it comes to buying new gadgets for things that can be done by hand, but this one is pretty nice - and it uses no electricity or gas. The thing that one me over is how easily I can roll out my bread now to various thicknesses. No more hurting my hands with that rolling pin again.
It also works great for making soba or udon, so we will be able to use up all that soba we will harvest next fall.
