Becky and John hosted the "Frolander Family" to the day after Christmas dinner and included us for a night of food and games...They furnished the ham and bacon wrapped little smokies, and everyone else brought "potluck."..We took dessert and garlic bread...Herb opted out of the games but I stayed to play 5 Crowns and didn't crawl into bed until almost 11pm.
Cherry Dessert
Rustic Apple Pie
Moving a little slow the next morning, I had the kitchen and baking area ready when Pam and Rachel arrived to make noodles...Rotisserie chickens boned our and the bones simmered with celery and onion gave us ample meat and broth (we added a couple of quarts from safeway) for "Chicken and Noodles."..The noodle recipe is simple---flour, eggs and salt---I opted to start Rachel out with a small batch, we used two eggs, mixed in 1 cup of flour and 1tsp of salt to make a very soft dough, then I had her add more flour, a little at a time, and showed her how to knead it in, making a very stiff ball of dough...We set it aside to rest and did two more batches...(guess who forgot to take photos) Now it was time to start rolling the dough...I demonstrated the first one making a 20" circle, using lots of flour to keep it from sticking...Rachel did the other two...We stacked them on top of each other, rolled all into a cylinder, sliced across then sliced them in half to make short noodles ( adding more flour to keep them from sticking)...Dropped them slowly into boiling broth added, celery, onion, carrots and red pepper and let them simmer for about 15 minutes before adding the diced chicken...A rough guess is that we ended up with 2 gallons of chicken and noodles, covered with a rich chicken gravy...It was delicious!...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
