I picked up an Atlas 150 pasta machine for $9 at the Salvation Army
Thrift Store yesterday. Looks to be nigh unto new and unused. It will
replace my 25-year-old one that has some corrosion on the rollers.
Woo-hoo! I oughtta be able to get $5-10 for that one at a garage sale.

neener neener. I bought a similar rig, with the motor and an attachment,
down the street at a garage sale for maybe 10 bucks. That was a year or
so ago. I guess I ought to make some pasta one of these days.

When you decide you don't want the motor, Del, let me know and I'll take
it off your hands. :0-) On second thought, cranking by hand is part
of the fun when the make noodles with The Kid.

Now that I am retired, who knows what wonders will emanate from my
kitchen.....
Actually I hope to make some 100 percent wheat bread that is actually
edible.

I pulled that off with my bread machine, once. Since then, well at
least it made for some good bread crumbs.

I scavenge for kitchen equipment at estate sales. For example, recently I
acquired a nice heavy duty GE electric knife (4 bucks) and an old electric
food grinder/slicer. Its a Magic Hostess, made here in KC, circa early 50s
(swag, no actual date on the machine). Its very hefty, in great working
order with all parts intact including the original wooden food pusher, $12
bucks! Time to make sausage!I've scored many times this way, and if its
electric I plug it in and test it before buying it.

Then there was the Kitchen Aid stand mixer that a neighbor put out on the
street on trash day. I figured it was probably toast, but at least worth
taking home to check it out. It works like a champ! Its the ugly old
institutional green, but who cares! It was well worth looking like a junk
dealer cruising the trash. Zero dollars for a $275 machine. Musta been the
wrong color for their decor......

I have a huge collection built in similar manner. I have from various
sales and thrifts: 4 bread machines, 2 KA mixers, 2 meat grinders, 2
deli-style cheese/meat slicers, 30+ pans from Calphalon, Analon,
Circulon and others, an electric cheese grater like the handheld ones
Olive Garden uses at the table to grind romano cheese on my pasta, an
electric pepper mill, 4 crock pots, 2 food processors (one is a KA), a
vitamix blender ($1 in the box), an American Harvest Jet Stream Oven, a
full size showtime rotisserie, a pasta machine, three george foreman
grills of various sizes, 3 electric warming tables and a vast slew of
other cooking toys, along with a myriad of party oriented serving
plates, bowls and containers, wilton bakepans and other items.

Rare has it been that I have actually had to buy anything new, and thus
full price.

But I have to say that the freebie mixer on the street edge was a
particularly sweet find.

Dang, you are way out ahead of me. The $1 vitamix is a braggable deal too! I
am on the hunt for a deli meat slicer like you mentioned. There have been a
couple commercial models pop up locally at restaurant liquidation auctions,
but they went for high dollar. I would like to find a large capacity floor
cooker/mixer, say 10 gallons or better, for making large batches of barbecue
sauce. So far I haven't lucked out on a restaurant auction, but I'll keep
trying!

I have observed that estate sales which include mink stoles complete with
the head and feet tend to yield particularly wonderful heavy duty kitchen
treasures. ;-)

I will quote my dear 'deceased' cousin on this one.

Because I'm a 'collector.'

Maybe I thought it was funny because I seem to have the same gene.

Fixin' to go to town to look at some 'pre-seasoned' Lodge now that I'm fully
educated on seasoning them myself.
Now that's dedication/fixation/obsessive -- whatever, it's darned fun! ;-)))

Good weekend to you, Wayne,
