I had never made fresh pasta before in my life! Now I just may be addicted. Following the point by point instructions, I put the ingredients in the mixer. Turned the machine on and then sat and watched as my bowl filled with lovely fresh spaghetti! There is nothing to do while the machine is kneading your dough but once it starts extruding you must stand attention and cut the pasta every so often to the length you prefer. I kept turning the bowl at regular intervals so the pasta wouldn't pile up in one spot. Once the machine is done it takes a few extra tries at mixing and kneading the dough as to use up as much of it as possible. Beautiful looking pasta. The instruction book tells you the ratio of liquid and flour for several varieties of flour (ww/spelt, etc) and varieties of liquid as well (water/egg mixture/vegetable juice etc). The parts are large and sturdy making no fiddling with little bits. Clean up involves washing several parts but doing dishes is the bain of cooking fresh food :-) Once you have your pasta, boil for a few minutes, and ta-da you have a meal of homemade pasta!

GATCHA Crate KAWAII & KAKKoii July 2017 Theme: Metallic Magic Subscription box that includes 5 Gatchapon and one Japanese treat 5/5 stars   I love these little boxes so much I couldn't decide which one to get so went with both. There is the Kawaii box (which means "cute") and could be said to be aimed at girls and then there is the Kakkoii box (which means "cool" and could be said to be aimed at boys. You can decide by gender but there are lots to like in either for anyone. The Kawaii Crate What's included (from left to right): 1. Pokemon Stackable Mini Clip (variations: 11) 2.

CREEPY CRATE #2 2017

CREEPY CRATE #2 Subscription box featuring creepy, dark items revolving around serial killers and all things creepy 4/5 stars Creepy Crate is a bi-monthly box which arrives at your door in a fairly nondescript box with only its name to imply what creepy things you are about to unveil. Upon opening the box you take in a burst of colour but can't tell very much as the info card and advertisements crowd your view. What's inside the box: 1. All My Friends are Creepy T-Shirt. This is the best t-shirt design I have ever seen in a sub box and it is sooo my style. Unfortunately, I don't wear T-Shirts so I'm planning on turning this into a cushion. The image is taken from Gianluca Sordi's classic photo of black-eyed children. 2. Have a Killer Day Travel Mug. This coffee mug features a John Wayne Gacy original painting and is exclusive to Creepy Crate. This made me laugh when I saw it, perhaps it was nerves since it is so creepy. Everyone knows I'm

PALETTEFUL PACKS July 2017

PALETTEFUL PACKS July 2017 Subscription box for artists 5/5 stars This is one of my favourite Paletteful Packs ever! I really loved the curation this month with the theme "Draw on Everything!" You can't miss this subscription when it arrives as it comes in this bright green box. I'm already pumped before I  even open it! If you want to blind box this subscription then turn the box away from you before opening the lid as some items will be visible through the paper worms. This month those worms are an eye-popping orange which really gave me an eyeful when seeing the red, orange and black bits peeking out at me. This box comes with a list card of everything you will have received and is just on top as you open it. What was in the box: 4 - Amsterdam Acrylic Paint Markers - I have some paint pens in a few colours already but this intro pack of Amsterdam Acrylic markers (ie paint pens) made me fall in love with the brand. I really enjoyed using them
