the great noodle caper

Yesterday I was invited to my aunt and uncle’s house for a delicious lunch. As we chatted after the meal, I drew a picture of a French style rolling pin. My brother and uncle went out to the woodshop and returned within 30 minutes with a redwood rolling pin. After treating it with mineral oil, I made my first ever batch of homemade noodles. Have I mentioned that the pounds have been packing on since I’ve begun this baking kick?

This dish is a really good meal to make if you happen to have fresh red peppers, scallions, baby bella mushrooms, sour cream, chicken broth and gruyere cheese in your chilly bin (that last term was in honor of my brother Matt who lives on the bottom of the world in that great country of New Zealand.)
