Christmas Noodles

I married into a yummy Christmas tradition.  For dinner Christmas Eve, we have homemade noodles.  Grandma made them for years, but a few Christmases back, she passed it on to me.  Making them together that year is a wonderful memory.  Flour in the air, Grandma in her apron... it doesn't get much better.

Now, every year, the day before Christmas Eve I make a growing number of noodles.  (I cooked for 28 this year.)  Christmas Eve I cook chickens with onions and celery, rip it into pieces (add broth if necessary, but it's not a runny soup) then throw in the noodles.  Some like to eat it on top of mashed potatoes--like the world's best gravy!--but I love it all alone.

Noodles:  2 cups flour, 1 tsp. salt, 2 eggs, 3 TB cream
Mix together (hands will be needed) roll as thin as you can, cut into thin strips--sprinkle flour everywhere (be sure to get some in your hair)

Merry Christmas everyone.
