[ There's a pretty impressive array of attachments on the counter, but Julie chose the one that she actually knows the operation of. But visible among the others are a pasta roller, a meat grinder, a ravioli maker, and a grain mill. ]

Yeah, most people have at least a few of 'em. The toaster, microwave and coffeemaker are probably the most common. This, the mixer, was kind of expensive, but people who liked to cook would save or buy 'em secondhand.

[ Turning back to the fridge, she removes a ball of dough wrapped in cling wrap -- pasta dough. Did Julie actually make this? Absolutely not. She created it with a thought in the past few seconds. But she changes the attachment to the roller, turns it on, then feeds a piece of the ball into it. It immediately produces a properly flattened sheet from the other side, and she repeats the process. (She is probably not doing it exactly correctly, but it's obvious what she's going for.) ]

I don't know how often they come up with new attachments, but I know they work out a new one pretty often. Plus, regular people figure out new ways to do stuff, and they post about it online.
