Eve, the pasta goddess<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

A delicious reminder of last week – under the Tuscan sun, where we learned to turn glorious eggs, 00 flour and water into golden pasta.<\/p>\n

Ah, Eve – she who offers up temptation.<\/p>\n

A souvenir that will just keep on giving.\u00a0 Admittedly, said pasta maker was ordered on online to save having to lug 8lbs of shiny love home on American Airlines.<\/p>\n

Speaking of 8lbs, if the snug fit of my skirts are anything to go by, resistance seems to be futile in Italy.\u00a0 Tuscans are all true blooded foodies and locavores by birth.\u00a0 Farm fresh isn’t a marketing slogan in that part of the world.\u00a0 Of course it’s farm fresh.\u00a0 There’s no need to assume or advertise otherwise! Who wouldn’t fall in love with a region where good food is taken seriously, to the extent that restaurants can be shut down for days, just on the back of a complaint?<\/p>\n

Mental note to oneself: before turning out the first batch of carb filled goodness, I must remember to roll slices of bread through Eve to absorb leftover grease and oil from the lovely Italians who put this ingenious contraption together.<\/em><\/p>\n

Is it strange to feel such adoration for a shiny inanimate object?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
