[Sca-cooks] New cooking tool! ;o)

[Sue Clemenger]

I saw something this evening in Michael's (craft store, where I was
eyeballing some inexpensive carving tools for this new thing I learned to do
at Collegium last weekend*), and maybe because I was thinking of Papa's
story of the Cinnamon Sticks of Doom, and maybe it was just serendipity, but
there in the aisle with all the varieties of modeling clays and sculpies and
stuff, are these $24 small-sized "pasta machines" meant specifically for use
with stuff like sculpy.
Ba-da-bing! Wouldn't that work just as well for marzipan or sugar plate? The
tool looks to make a pretty good-sized sheet of the stuff, and looks (on the
box) to be very similar in style/function to the pasta maker that my Dad
had, many years ago.
At any rate, I thought I'd mention it, for those of you who are inclined to
make these sorts of things.....
