Confessions about the Pasta Maker

A few years ago my Mom gave me a pasta maker for Christmas. I've had high hopes of inviting a few friends over for a pierogi day or pasta fest....but it hasn't come to fruition. So, for the past few months, I've been debating - do I sacrifice the pasta maker for a polymer clay tool? or do I keep the pasta maker for food? If I use it for clay, it wouldn't be the gift my mom intended. On the other hand, fellow clay junkies rave about how the pasta maker will improve your art. So, I broke down last night ...bye bye spaghetti...hello smooth clay. Sorry mom. :-)
