I do wash the fingers first. I love my electronic scales ($80), my breadmaker ($40 from a friend who was tired of packing on the kilos), my lemon zester/parmesan cheese/ginger fine grater ($4 from Coles) and my gas Weber which is big enough to roast a leg of lamb in, thus sparing me oven cleaning and alleviating the smell of lamb fat in the house. I also have a pasta maker of which I am very fond, even though I rarely ever use it. Though I was less than impressed to get it as a Christmas present - smacks of labours of love. I would LOVE one of those old electric frypans. There is nothing like them for making things like fritters and mashed potato cakes, or cooking rissoles.

It busts eventually, but then I just do another one. Stuart, I use a plastic ziploc bag with the corner snipped off. It busts eventually, but then I just do another one.

Does anyone know where I might buy (or how to make) a cannelloni filler/stuffer? A bit crazy; it's for a relly who uses a little tunnel shaped spoon! Go the Maroons!
