First Time

Hi, I'm new at this blogging thing. I thought it would be fun to share things that appealed to me. I got this Lipstick test at an AVON meeting. I was surprised at how accurate it was in describing me. See how it fits you. My lipstick is #3, all the ones I have look like this and the description fits me pretty close.
During it's 125 year history, women have bought AVON's lipstick, even during the depression. We may not feel we can afford a new dress, but we can find a way to get a lipstick. I think a brand new lipstick is so cool. Check out AVON's great selection at my website,www.youravon.com/mbeach.
I come from a family of cooks, men and women, starting for me with my paternal Grandma. She was a farm wife and cooked 3 meals a day, for her 12 children, farm hands and church events. She was know for her pies throughout the Teton Valley in Idaho. She did nothing fancy or exotic but she made ordinary ingredients into something special. On Thanksgiving, on top of the Turkey and all the traditional trimmings, Grandma always had a pot of Chicken and Homemade Noodles. Forget everything else that was the best. Here is her recipe for the Noodles.
Boil a chicken to make the stock add Salt and pepper to season. When done take the chicken out to cool.
Noodles
2 C Flour
1 T melted Butter
4 Eggs
1 t Salt
a little Cream
Make a mound of the flour and salt with a well in the middle. Put the eggs and butter in the well. Mix thoroughly, adding cream as needed to moisten. Shape into a ball and let it rest for 15 min. Roll very thin on a well floured surface. Sprinkle with more flour and roll up like a jelly roll, and cut with a sharp knife. You can make the noodle any width that appeals to you. Let the dough stand for a few hours to dry out.
While dough is resting, strain the chicken stock. Pick the meat off the chicken and put it back into the stock.
When you are ready to cook, heat the stock to boiling then add the noodles, one at a time (like putting icicles on the Christmas tree.) If you just throw them all in at once you will have a big clump. Let them cook for about 5 to 10 min.
We liked them as is or over mashed potatoes. MMMM, great for a wintery evening.
The noodles are also delicious cooked in beef stock.
