MMMMMM, time to defrost a chicken.

Would you believe they didn't have buttermilk at two different
grocery stores up here? It's a dang Yankee conspiracy.

I think I will do Shrimp and Scallop Alfredo.
I need to take another try at French Bread, I made some yesterday and it didn't turn out quite right.

I just love BYC, my menu planning is getting way easier.

PC...you dry your noodles the same way I do when I make a big batch. Homemade noodles spoil you for eating any other kind, don't they. I use my late MIL's recipe for egg noodles.

Well please share that recipe.

How do you store them? I froze a batch last night.

If I make a big batch I freeze them in baggies.


Basic Egg Noodles

The basic recipe is

1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt

Put in a bowl and make a well in the center

Mix together 1 whole egg and 2 T of cold water. Pur into the well and mix well. Knead for several minutes until nice and smooth. Let set covered with bowl for 30 minutes. Divide in half and roll as thin as humanely possible. Let dry for about 20 minutes then slice into noodles whatever width you want them. Dry or put them into broth and cook until tender

This makes enough noodles for one pot (dutch oven size) of soup.

My grandma always used that same roller. I'd be there in the kitchen
begging to turn the handle.

I refuse to by a pasta machine or bread maker as much as I'd like both.
I'd like to find some sort of manual machine to make ziti with.

Can you come to my house, and teach my DH how to cook?

I'm roasting a small chicken today. Have the neck cooking right now so I can throw it in the stuffing.

Possibly crockpot guinea later this week.

I'm having potato salad made from the leftover roasted red potatoes of last evening, leftover roast chicken and a garden
salad.

Katy, You make your homemade noodles the same way I do.
