Noodles


Home made noodles are much better than store bought.  They take a little extra time but are easy and very good. We always use a noodle maker since we have one, but rolling the dough by hand does not take a lot of time.

While the recipe says to let the noodles dry, you can cook them right away if you want.  They are excellent with butter and garlic, with your favorite sauce or in chicken broth.

For colorful variety, add some pumpkin puree or spinach to the dough.  You will need to add extra flour, but the different colors and taste is fun.

“Rotten Tea”

Many years ago, my friend Charlotte,  shared this tea with me on the way to school.  I thought it was great and she gave me the recipe for “friendship tea.”  I made it a few times and forgot about it.

Years later, I was given the recipe for “Russian Tea” from Mom McGuire.  We played with the recipe and made it in a variety of ways.  Adrian has always enjoyed it.  He thought it was called “Rotten Tea” and that is what we call it at home more often than not.
