TBT Old Family Recipe Egg Noodle Recipe

My Grandma Snodgrass's Egg Noodle Recipe

This recipe was one handed down from my Grandma's mother to my Grandma to my Mom to me to my Kids to my Grandkids. We had these noodles every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was always so much fun to go over and help Grandma and Mom make the noodles. I have a lot of great memories of being together, getting flour all over all the while laughing while  mixing, rolling and cutting up the noodles. When Grandma got where she couldn't do it anymore she sat there and supervised the rest of us doing them. This was a family tradition and one I was glad to pass on to my kids and grandkids. No as everyone has grown up and it's harder to get together before Thanksgiving to make these they buy store bought noodles but they are not the same and we don't have the memories we did back when we got together to make them for the holidays. I would never trade the time we spent together making egg noodles. This recipe is in my Mom's hand writing because Grandma didn't write down a recipe. As we did it you just knew if you had enough water and flour and it just became something you did from habit. Mom wrote it down so that it could be passed on to others in the family and I am using it today as my throwback Thursday post.

Always cherish the family traditions and make sure to share the times, stories and make new memories as the next generations come along.

Tardis, Lego, Pokemon Crocheted Baskets for Easter

I know I am a little late sharing the Easter Baskets I crocheted for my Grandkids but things have been busy and I am behind. I decided this year to make a basket of something they all liked. For my smallest grandson 2 yrs old I made a Lego basket because he loves legos. He calls them crackers for some reason but he loves to play and build with them and he loves the lego cartoons and the movie. He will watch Lego Batman and Lego Star Wars over and over and over again. So what better basket than a lego basket.

Of course he, now that the goodies are gone he likes to wear the basket on his head as a hat. My little lego man.

For my 19 year old granddaughter is was easy to know what to make her because her and I have a love of all things Dr Who. So for her I decided to make her a crocheted Tardis Bag for her basket. I figured she could use it after all the goodies were gone as a bag.

Last for my 20 year old grandson I made a Pokemon ball basket. Even at this age he and his friends still like Pokemon so what better thing to make than a Pokemon ball. 

I just made these up as I went and now I am trying to write down the patterns. When will I learn to write them down as I go? Probably never. I hope to have the patterns later but no promises. I may have to make these again just to get the patterns down. Of course I am sure that I will find someone who would be happy to have them if I do.

These were a hit with the Grandkids as you can see in these pictures.
