The photo is my son and myself. Now days you can get a photo made to look old like this one. This photo was taken when this was the new look.

Harry S Truman was president when I was born and world war II had ended. I grew up in a time when lunch was put in a brown paper bag and a sandwich was wrapped with wax paper. There was no such thing as pantyhose, we wore stockings that attached to the rubbery clippy things that attached to the girdle. Convenience stores were not common and when we took a trip we packed a picnic basket because many places did not have fast food. Highways had places to pull over and stop, some with picnic tables.

I made noodles for dinner last night. I cooked some store noodles, saved some of the cooking water, and left the noodles in the colander in the sink while I melted some butter in the noodle pot. You could use butter and/or oil. I took some walnuts from a package of raw walnuts, cashews, and macadamia nuts that Aldi's sells, and toasted them in the butter. The cashews I use for chicken and the macadamias I pop into my mouth. :) Then I toasted just for a minute some chopped garden sage. I took the pot off the heat, added back the noodles, stirred, added grated Romano and the reserved noodle water, and stirred until creamy. I added pepper. If the cheese sticks to your spoon instead of getting creamy, that means the noodles are too hot. Cheap but filling, if you take it easy on the butter. 

Thanks for the recipe idea. I'll try it.

My grandmother always made egg noodles and cooked with chicken broth and chunks of chicken then served over mashed potatoes.  My mom did the same and her noodles were very good but not as good as grandma's.  I do the same and my noodles are good but not as good as mom's or grandma's!  

Noodles are also good for beef and noodles, and I've also had them simply buttered.  I make the homemade noodles when I do a ham and noodle casserole and homemade chicken noodle soup.

Noodles are simply a dough of egg and flour, mixed, rolled thin, allowed to dry somewhat, rolled and cut and then spread out to dry further. 

Ann W- I remember walking into the kitchen after school and seeing noodles drying on the kitchen table, ready for my mom to cook them with our chicken and noodle dinner. We always ate them over mashed potatoes, too. One of my fondest memories! We also on occasion had beef and noodles.
