No no, it is not your fault, but mine.

About pasta: nothing melliflous, just macchine per la pasta.
But the good housewife (NOT ME) is able to make pasta by hand, very quickly indeed, and from a ball of "impasto"= flour+water is able to make a large very subtle disc, by using a long wooden cilinder=mattarello.
When I was I child it was usual to make pasta in the house, but now almost no one does, nor has this skill.
