Homemade Noodles

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

I know that it is hard to believe that I have only recently made homemade noodles.  After all, my grandma made them, and my mom made them, so why did it take me so long to make them?  I don’t know, it always seemed so hard, I guess.  But last month, I finally made some, and the hardest part was rolling out the dough.  It was very elastic and kept springing back after I would roll it out.  I finally conquered it, though, and got them rolled out and cut.  I found a recipe that makes just enough for two people, and they turned out very good indeed!

What a Hot Spring!

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

And no, I am not talking about a place; rather, I am talking about temperatures, as anyone who has been in Maryland these past 4 days knows!  We went from snow in March, to having pretty cool temps to suddenly having 4 days of 90-degree temps or higher.  Way too hot for me this early in the season!  I’m glad to have the mid-60’s like we have today so everything (like my kitchen) can cool down a bit.
