Make Your Own Pasta
I recently bought a pasta attachment for my Kitchen Aid mixer and I have never enjoyed cooking so much. It might seem simple and silly--dried pasta in the store is fairly inexpensive and its a labor of love to mix up the dough and cut it into whatever type of pasta you're craving, but it truly has been so much fun. When I first began making my own pasta I mixed the dough by hand as most of the websites recommend (and rather, insist upon) but I've recently turned toward mixing the dough in my mixer and man-oh-man is that a time saver (and a muscle saver too). I just put the mixer on the first setting and let it slowly combine all the ingredients. I usually mix for ten minutes total or so, adding a little bit of water here and there if I think the ingredients aren't combining after a reasonable amount of time. It's super slick! I figure I'm using my mixer anyway with the pasta attachment, so there really isn't much of a reason not to use it for the dough creation process as well. Call me a cheater, whatever. I can handle it.

Meet Michael, a Wagyu cow with enough financial backing to hire a personal bodyguard. This documentary delves into the origins of Wagyu, the meticulous process of breaking it down for restaurant service, and the high-stakes world of Wagyu auctions where millions are exchanged daily. My trip to Kobe had a specific purpose - to explore the heart of Wagyu production. While Kobe beef stems from Wagyu, not all Wagyu beef attains Kobe status; if Kobe is likened to a Ferrari, then Wagyu is akin to a regular automobile. Standing tall at six feet three, I was surprised to find Michael matching my height; I hadn't realized they grew so large. I treaded carefully; causing any inconvenience to his guardian was the last thing on my agenda.
