As long as I put on grandmas "special" recipe for popcorn...
I am thinking I better put on her "special" recipe for buttered noodles.
When the girls were growing up it was always their favorite thing when grams would cook up some buttered noodles. As they grew up and left home it still remains their favorite! They often call her asking her how does it! She tells them... they make them... and then call her and tell her they don't taste at all like the ones she makes. Sometimes I wonder if they know that when they say that, the next time they come home grams will whip them up a batch of their favorites?
Or, is it that when grandma makes them their is a special kind of love she puts in? A love of a grandma who has always been there, who has done more for her family than anyone could ever ask and done it all with love! Well, I guess we won't ever know unless you try a batch for yourself! I will put the recipe next. If it doesn't turn out call grams to put in some love!
GRANDMAS BUTTERED NOODLES:
Bring a large pot (5 quarts) of water to a rolling boil.
Add 2 teaspoons of salt and a one pound package of noodles (creamettes-please! You can use any shape but for goodness sakes don't buy the cheap noodles!)
Bring water back up to boiling (watch as they will boil over)
Boil for 6 to 7 minuets. (do not over boil - noodles become swollen!)
Drain but leave some of the water on (approx 1/2 - 1 cup) the noodles.
Add butter immediately (1/4 - 1/2 cup butter)
Then add parsley, dill week, or chives. Choose only one. Add enough (approx 2 tablespoons) to add color and taste.!!
Then you say a prayer for each of the people that will be eating your noodles!
You pray that the simple things in life will always be the best. And that somehow through your cooking they will know exactly how much they are loved!
ENJOY!!
