While I was making egg noodles for soup, I thought of you and your son. I bet he would enjoy it.

I use 2 cups of flour and 3 eggs. Today's soup had plenty of salt, so I did not add any salt to the noodles. They can pick up enough from the broth. I use my KitchenAid mixer to make the dough. After it's well mixed and forms a ball, let it rest in the bowl with a plate over the top of the bowl. After a 20 minute rest, divide the dough into halves or thirds, flour the exterior of it and flatten it. Roll it about 1/8" thick and cut into strips or squares or whatever shapes you want. I like small strips for soup. Repeat for all the pieces of dough.

Put all the noodles into the boiling soup, turn down the burner to a simmer, serve in 12 minutes. Easy and fun, especially for the kiddo to cut out the shapes or strips. I like to use my bench knife for cutting the strips. It's fast.

HOLY CARP!!!
Wish you were our neighbor, Brenda doll.

My son learns fast and would be a huge help in that new kitchen of yours. You could just send him home when you're done, with some carry-out....

Well, you and I would have fun, too. I think you would like rug hooking. Since you like needlepoint, you would likely find making rugs to be quite engaging. It's what I call a "whole head" activity, one that uses every part of your brain from designing the pattern to selecting the colors, perhaps even dying the wools, and doing the actual hooking.

That could happen yet, ya know.
