So you might want to put out an all points bulletin to your friends and see if anyone has a pasta machine. I remember recently making spotsily for an assignment and I just used a colander and it worked out perfectly. as for the food dehydrator, it's funny that you would ask that because I borrowed a food dehydrator from a friend for that assignment because I wasn't sure if I would ever use it again and then I had such success that I went and bought a second hand food dehydrator and used it for about 20 minutes. Making beautiful dried tomatoes, by the way. And now it's in my basement and I don't use it. so I think that you might want to see about borrowing them first. I will say this if you're going to go buy a Ronco and there really is a wrinkle food dehydrator. They take a really really long long time also look into the settings on your oven and see if a convection oven will allow you to have that low temp so that you could actually dehydrate in your oven. So those are just things to think about but check with your friends.
