Noodle Making

Noodle Makers!

I love our little country church in Berlin. It is a supportive community and friendly. A recent death in the family and the support of people there makes me realize how lucky we are.

Today was noodle making day. In two weeks we will have our church picnic. There is ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, beans, and homemade noodles. So after mass today we made noodles for the dinner. It is so much fun and exemplifies, many hands make little work. Did Ben Franklin say that?

(I googled it and it was John Heywood, an English writer known for his plays, poems and proverbs 1497-1580)

One groups mixes the dough, another kneads it, then it gets dried and then rolled out several times with the pasta machine before the noodles are made with the machine. Here are some pictures from the happy working group. It was nice to have a mix of people, young kids, grandparents, parents. Just wonderful.

Come to our Picnic on Sunday September 5 in the afternoon for some really good home cooked food. One of these great kids may be waiting on you!
