For Jonathan's s birthday dinner on Thursday, I
was going to boil some store bought noodles, when Jonathan said he'd really
prefer the homemade noodles! Bill mixed
up Aunty's recipe for Kisto! Now Eleanor, keep in mind that Bill is an
engineer and there is no, and I mean "no", playing around with
recipes!
We hauled out the pasta mixer, thinking that Mom
would think this was the marvel of marvel appliances and then, with the
incredibly soft dough, were unable to put it through the pasta mixer! It
bunched up at the bottom!
The proportions of water, eggs, and flour vary
greatly between cooks! Mrs. B.’s recipe (Mom's friend) even has 1/4 cup
more water. There doesn't seem to be any rule!
So I rolled out the dough and Bill and I cut the
noodles " free style”. Jonathan
raved about the noodles!

The next morning, we rolled out the rest of the
dough and with tons of flour on the mixer and lightly sprinkled on the sheets
of dough, we were successful in making fettucini. Maryan, who was home for the
holidays, gladly took the dried noodles home.
