I have the pasta attatchments for my Kitchen-aid and the one thing I can never make (turns into a giant mess) is Ravioli.

I use an atlas to make the flat pasta sheets then do the rest by hand with a pizza cutter or pastry crimper. I agree with you that the pasta attachments for filled pasta tend to suck arse

steak, potatoes, creamed spinach, mushrooms and seafood gumbo

Filet Mignon, cooked on cast iron.

White Northbeans with watercress cabbage and cauliflower.

Pad Thai (nice change up)

Chinese.

Pear salad with burrata (delicious). Some of the best vinegar ever.

Seared duck breast, the skin and the layer of fat were like bacon.

Chocolate truffle with sea salt caramel inside.

A nice meal if you ask me.

Grilled marinated (a' la Tex) skirt steak, teriyaki noodles, green salad. 2004 Rosemount Estate Syrah Balmoral.

I just hope I get home for dinner.

Weather delays, flight canceled ( American, so nothing new) and left my phone in the taxi!

spo, sounds great. Paired with what?

kca, I had this nice meal with a flight of wine from Hug. A Viognier that was ok, and then a Pinot Noir, Zinfandel and Syrah that were all pretty good.
