Well, I'm shocked. I did it. The noodles turned out pretty good for me doing it.
Starting the second batch, my pasta machine was jamming up. Checked it, no dough caught in the mechanism, got through the noodles, and then D said he would look at it to see what it is hanging up on.
I am sorry the photos aren't too good. It's dark in my kitchen and trying to take shots of things and I don't think that they turned out that well. And my little digital camera is very cheap, cheap.
I will post the recipe for the noodle dough on my recipe page. Hope I can do that too.
Enjoy

Icy Palace
Good Morning/Afternoon Everyone,
Well the weatherman predicted freezing rain/drizzle and guess what.....HE WAS RIGHT!! I knew that it would be but still when you go out in the morning, and then try to get the paper even a couple of steps, you take your life into your hands.
Even the dog did a sash shay down the steps, I got after her to slow down, and down she went, then proceeded to get up and the back end slipping around to go do her business and then back in. That was at 7 am this morning.
I hate ice. I hated it when D and I drove truck. I tried to learn to drive on it, but even seasoned drivers like D, with 35+ years behind the wheel says, if its ice, forget about the load being on time. You cannot keep anything on the road with a fourth inch of ice on the road, period.
So, I am working in the house, just puttering around as FlowerLady says, and then decided to make egg noodles. I have my grandmother's pasta machine and I a going to master it today, without pinching my fingers in the roller.
I'm having roast chicken for dinner with leftovers planned for the rest of the week.
I love it when I can get in the kitchen and try to re-master things like noodles. I also like to get in the kitchen to forget about the worlds problems which are so very great at the present time. I also went to the grocery yesterday as I knew it would be icy today, and looked at prepackaged egg noodles in the freezer case and they are over $4.00 a package. Yikes! I don't think so. And the packages are so small to boot, so I am planning on trying to do more noodles and letting them dry a little and then freeze them in packages myself. Take that Grandma's Egg Noodle company.
Still having problems finding parts for the car. So I am driving the old dually, which I do love to drive. Its big and rough riding but I do enjoy it. The only thing about it is the fact its hard on fuel and you have to remember that you have to park someplace where you can get out, its large fenders stick out, and its a little hard to back out, and you definitely don't go to the bank drive up window!!!!
Well, I think that I will get back to my noodles, they are chilling in the frig, and then off to squeeze them in the pasta machine. I also am going to try to email a few emails to friends, it seems life just plain gets in the road and you can't just sit and write.
Well everyone, I wish you a blessed week and I am sure that all of you are getting ready for the Holidays and family.
Please enjoy everyday and I will try to blog later this week. I will see if I can get a few photos of pasta or my fingers!!
Love and Hugs to all

More info on New Zealand food control
Good Morning Everyone,
I have been doing some research and then did a search on a search engine that does not record your ISP. I keyed in "New Zealand food growing illegal and came up with startling information.
I urge you to do the same, and please start mentioning this on your blogs, or just start talking about it.
This law is based on a food safety law, and it included, guns, seeds, herbals, and of all things, WATER that are illegal. It is meant for the dominate seed companies to control food. And the government will seize everything and throw you in the clinker, probably for good.
This is something that we all need to watch and start pounding your state's Representatives as this is serious business and this will bring all of us to our knees.
I am having some issues posting links, so please start doing searches and please relay the information and message that if New Zealand citizens are going to roll over and let this happen, then it will migrate to us as well and other nations.
I think that you may remember last year when we were having problems with the local law here, and the cop told me that gardens were illegal.....well folks, I rest my case.
I will keep posted on this issue.
Try to have a wonderful weekend.

A Very Disturbing Piece of News
I just received an email newsletter from a journalist source and read it. In it I read a comment to the news story that New Zealand has or is in the process of banning all growing of food by citizens. DO WHAT PEOPLE! Give me a break. You mean that this country is in the process of this and Kiwi's are going to stand for it.
Please if I have any European readers, Aussie's or Kiwi's, please give me more info on this. This is absurd to say the least.
If this is going on, who's next, England, US, etc.
I would like to hear more info on this if someone can enlighten me.
Again, I find this so very disturbing, to say the least.
Please let me know.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs

going's on...NOT
Good Afternoon Everyone,
I hope that all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday season. From the blogs I have read, it seems everyone did.
Yep, I been sand-bagg'in ( sitting on the side lines) and just reading blogs. I have had some computer issues since I last posted and it has been another headache and very much irritating and also just plain evil. I wasn't sure if I had a virus, but I had some issues which I think I have gotten fixed.
I am sure that my blog was hacked somehow, it was getting weird, and I couldn't post to some blogs. My computer tech who is a whole lot smarter than I helped me to work some issues out, by phone, and I think that I have some of it worked out. I also was getting some just down right porno photos from some whores on Twitter, and I stopped that right off the bat. I am sorry that I use strong, salty sailor words, but I call it as I see it. If you want to whore around, do so on your own time, but not on my blog, and don't sent filth to my email.
We have had some political issues here and some animal rights issues and I think that some Nebraska blogs have been tampered with.
It is snowing here at the moment. Maybe about 2 inches at the moment. Nothing to get in a twist about. Boy the other day, Monday, Tuesday morning, it got down to -6* F. Very little wind so not much wind chill, and about an inch of snow, south of us, some small towns got 12 inches of snow, and it dropped down to -16*F. A little chilly for early December. I was going to go our and take my camera and run about town while on errands and catch some photos of the corn that is being harvested and all of it piled on the ground at the CO-OP, but like the bug problems and the blog problems, why not car problems. I call it Murphy's Law, it generally follows me around like a black cloud. Anyway, waiting for a part. Now try to find a part for a 89 Cadillac, like finding a needle in a haystack.
The house smells delightful as I have a small pot of chili going. Since it is chilly out, chili sounded pretty good. And I can't do anything outside anyway, except scoop off the sidewalk, which I did, and then came back in.
The house is in a twist also, as I am cleaning out drawers, closets, and it looks like a federal disaster area. But only for a short time. We have stopped painting for a short while until it warms up a bit, then we can finish up that little chore.
It has been quiet around the ghetto here for a while. The rental to the south of me is still open, everyone who looks at it tells the owners it looks like **** (I'll let you fill in the blank) and so yesterday, the owner's mouthpiece was over trying to see what was wrong with it. Well for one thing, it is not cleaned, the former tenants had 5 dogs in there and did not let the dogs out, I will let your imagination fill in here, and for the finale, the rental has no heat and it got to -6* the other day and the water is not drained and guess what! Last night after supper, I was out, letting the dog go outside and I heard a large amount of water running, and at first, I thought it was my place, so I looked and listened, then seen water just a bubblin' out of the north side of the rental where the small bathroom is located. It looked like a fountain. And I did have a good laugh. Couldn't of happened to a better bunch of idiots, (evil grin) So, I see someone is over there this afternoon, its still bubbling away and they don't know how to shut off the water. There is a water shut off underneath the trailer in the middle where the main line comes in. Anyone who lives in these things needs to know this so when you have a problem, you can at least shut the water off and not have too much damage. But we are not dealing with intelligent people here.
Well, I had better get back to my sorting of stuff and clothing. I have piles to go to the thrift shop and the rest to the trash.
I wish everyone a great rest of the week and a wonderful weekend.
Love and Hugs

Added some unfriendly to the diet recipes
Good Afternoon Everyone,
I found some more very unfriendly to the diet recipes from grandma's box. Take a peek and enjoy. If you have any questions, please comment and I can explain. For European readers, I am not sure of conversions, but I think that there are conversion charts on the web for your use.
Please enjoy.
There isn't much going on here at all at the moment. D and I are just painting and working still in the house. I am trying to talk D into going to his family in South Dakota for the Thanksgiving holiday coming up and take a break from me and the house. (personally I need a break!) LOL. Sounds like the weather will hold and just be chilly and as far as I know, no blizzards or ice on the horizon/ But you never know in this part of the country.
Got over the headache. It takes about 4 days for everything to calm down. We have had several cold fronts go through and sometimes the wind stirs up the dirt and pollen and we have had no substantial snow or rain to keep the dust down. We are also into full swing of corn harvest here and I drive by the CO-OP's here which are bulging with corn and the corn dust and bran is blowing all over and that sometimes causes me grief also with my sinuses. Thank you for the well wishes from all of you. I think that I will live for a while now.
I am wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday and if you are traveling, please be careful and enjoy the time with family and eat yourself silly.
Hugs
