Macaroni Madness
February 2, 2010
For a Christmas gift, my husband gave me some gift certificates to a wonderful Italian Steakhouse, Mario’s Via Abruzzi (name may be modified from this now) www.bazilrestaurant.com. There is also a less formal restaurant that is like the little sister: Bazil’s. Anyway, with that gift certificate came a few vouchers to indulge in your hidden Guido-ness. Well, not to have the ending vowel in my last name go to waste, I jumped at the chance. Anthony Daniele, the co-owner, entertained and informed us of many things macaroni. Including some of the instruments used to make this wonderful staple of life. I’m sure some of those instruments, in the old days, would have inflicted alot of pain on a wayward husband, should he miss the 5:00 meal, served promptly and piping hot. The lighting was a little contrasty for my camera but I am going to post a few for you to enjoy. Pass the Mopina, eh?
Anthony, a great host and teacher
This is the instrument panel for the extruder. The uber macaroni bender!
This little model is in many Italian (and not) kitchens. Oh, I'm sure that play dough has made a few passes through there. Could get ugly, though!
- This will keep passing through, getting thinner and thinner, as you tighten the knob.

As you can tell, probably, for only a few months. A good friend talked me into it and I’m glad she did. It’s fun! Glad you liked the post.
