arrived this past Tuesday

New fookin' pasta roller! Italian, purchased from Amazon.com! More expensive! Can't wait to try this puppy out. Here's the unboxing sequence:

That final photo shows the new roller (with black-handle crank) next to the current and soon-to-be-tossed roller. So sad to throw the current roller away, but it's unacceptable that it might be falling apart so soon after I began using it. Here's hoping the extra bucks dumped into the new roller prove to be worth it.
