Marlee Wasn't In The Mood To Cook Today!

The next morning Grandma B announced that she was going to be the one teaching the One More Bite cooking school. She told Marlee that there were lots of folks that would be interested in making homemade noodles for the holidays. Many of them bought frozen noodles at the store and they just weren't as good she didn't think. She had been making these noodles for a long long time. Her Grandma Taylor and her mother had made homemade noodles so of course, she wants their tradition to carry on to Marlee and her friends.

Marlee thought it was just fine for her "B" to do the show. She didn't think that she was in the mood for doing it. She was tired this morning. She had been upset about the mysterious blue 4 wheeler and the Christmas rush anyway. She was in the mood to help some of her friends decorate Marleewood. There was a lot to do. It seemed like Christmas was coming way too fast for she and her friends to get everything done.
There had been a rush of people that stormed in for the Fall sales and had bought some of Charlie's Christmas things too so that caused Marlee and Charlie to be a bit behind.

When Marlee and Grandma B got to work they each went in separate directions. "B" to the kitchen to get ready for the cooking school and Marlee to find her friends.
We will be watching Grandma B today teaching folks how to make homemade noodles while Marlee is busy with her friends.
"B" told us that the first thing she does is NOT use a bowl! Nope, she just puts a tablecloth on her big table that she can throw away. She saves dishes that way.

First she dumps five (5) pounds of flour on the table. Then she makes a big round hole in the middle of the flour. Then she gets out twelve (12) eggs and puts the yolks in the hole. When she gets that done she adds just a touch of salt and a little bit of water. Then I think she uses a fork to beat the eggs and salt and water together.
 Oh look, she is kneading the dough with her hands. Do you see her coffee cup? I think she drinks coffee while she is kneading the dough!
Grandma B told everyone that the next thing you do is use a rolling pin to roll out the dough. A rolling pin is round and long and heavy. It has a black handle on each end. That makes it easy to get a really big circle of noodle dough. Although it looks more like a square, what do you think, circle or square?
Then when she is finished doing that sometimes she has family that like to cut the noodles with a little kitchen tool that looks round and has a handle on it. Sometimes her son helps make noodles.

Then Grandma B showed her audience that she cooks the noodles in chicken or turkey broth, adds some chicken or turkey and lets it cook for quite awhile. It takes awhile for such a big batch to cook in a big electric roaster. Oh my goodness that looks good.
Grandma B always makes noodles for her Thanksgiving meal. Her family likes her noodles so well that most of that roaster of noodles will be gone after a big holiday meal.
 Many families have noodles for Thanksgiving.
While Grandma B was busy in the One More Bite cooking school Marlee and her friends were busy decorating the Holiday Shop. They were having a time of it because the tree was so much taller than they were. So they did the best that they could. Actually they were quite proud of the job that they had done. And they should be! It was a group effort. Once again that's what friends do; help each other. Marlee had some friends that were taller. That was good that they were there today. Hopefully they can go to Grandma B's house and help decorate her tree. We will see.

As you can see Addison's daddy is really tall so he can help her decorate their tree at home. What a great memory!
Somewhere far far away there were two (2) undercover agents getting ready to go to Marleewood. They had gotten a lead on a runaway blue 4 wheeler. It had been missing for several days. The big boss wanted it back where it belonged as soon as possible!
