We as you know my dog died on Valentine's Day, my husband bought me a Chamilia bead for my bracelet, the limited edition one of a heart. He said it was from Chelsea (my dog) as she gave up her heart for me on Valentines day, it was so touching and I will treasure it.
Really unexpectedly, he had also bought me the KitchenAid pasta attachment (costing £78, I know caz I've been eyeing it up for ages). Well I was so broken hearted over Chelsea that I've not had the passion to cook this last week and I was so looking forward to getting one, any other time I would have been jumping up and down, but I just smiled, thanked him and put it in the cupboard. I think he understood, anyway I tried it out for the first time today.
Well it was amazing!!! I cannot believe has fast and easy it is to make pasta. Needless to say I will be making lots of fresh pasta from now on and it is really good for losing weight as pasta fills your belly and is not full of fat. About 80g worth of flour makes a lot of pasta that would fill you up and there is not many calories in 80g of flour.
