Manual Pasta Maker

I can finally get one of this. Now that I am getting one, I don't really know which one I wanted. Do I go for the price or how they are made? Do I have enough time to make the pasta we needed? Or am I wasting money if I go with the expensive one?

I don't really want to buy a very expensive one, then finding out that buying pasta from the store is better. It seems that with manual pasta maker you can only make certain pasta, not like the electric competitive. However, I am looking at this a great investment that I can pass to my daughter.

Atlas Original Pasta Mchine
The images I include here is what most appealing to me. Both have a great reviews but too pricey for my taste...lol. The top image is Imperia Pasta Maker and Chromium plated steel. The second one is Atlas Original Italian Pasta Machine, this one is stainless steel. And yes, extra attachment is sold separately. Both pasta maker is over $85, plus the extra attachment to make different kind of pasta. Both came with spaghetti and linguine/fettuccine. Maybe I should settle for the cheap one, then I can buy all the attachment I like and comes out to be the same price.

Decisions, I don't like making them, it's too hard.

Pork Chop Teriyaki (Grilled or Broiled)

Image
1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup soy sauce 3 Tbsp unsweetened pineapple juice 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 tsp lemon juice 1 tsp ground ginger 1/2 tsp pepper 4 or 5 pork chops In a small bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. pour 3/4 cup into large resealable plastic bag; add pork chops. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally. Set aside remaining marinade for basting. Brush grill rack with cooking oil before starting the grill. Drain and discard marinade. Place pork chop on the rack. Grill, covered, for 5 minutes. Brush with reserved marinade. Grill 15-20 minutes longer or until golden brown. It depends what kind of oven you have. Some oven you only turn the knob to broil other you need to set the temperature. But I usually broil with the temperature of 400 degree F. Or broil set on low because on high it tends to burn the meat fast. You can substitute this with chicken and meaty fish also.

Paksiw & Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Image
This is my FTF entry for this week. Paksiw (sour broth) frozen baby bonito (tulingan). I settled for frozen ones, because this is very hard to find in my area. Always eaten with ton of rice...lol I don't have any other vegetables to mix with it but the pepper. I was lazy to go out (shopping) with the heat we are having. And for dessert; strawberry banana smoothie. I was weeding my vegetable garden today and I was sweating a lot. What a nice drink to have! Very filling (sweet) and refreshing after soaking under a hot sun. For more FTF images, just follow the image below.

Stuff Sweet Peppers

Image
This is my third time making this. I used red bell peppers the last I made some and you can see the images of that dish here . This time I blanched the peppers because DH was complaining last time that the peppers are not cook. And this time added some mozzarella on top too. I like it with cheese and I will make this with cheese from now on. DH only ate half of one and our kids ate the stuffings. I only wish they eat food the way I do. However, I don't have any problem with them when it comes with desserts. For more FTF entrees, please give Ms. Willa's blog a visit by following the image below. Have a great weekend!
