What’s Your Noodle Curve?

The best part of Thanksgiving is leftovers!

Nothing beats a hearty turkey soup following the big feast. This year I decided to make my grandma’s home made noodles to add the large simmering pot.
It was a mess! I had flour all over myself and the balls of elastic dough were sticking to the cutting board every time I tried to roll them out. When my friend called I could hardly hold the receiver without  covering it in paste .

“I am making noodles,” I told her. “My Grandma was a pro at this. I feel like a walking paper mache disaster.”

“Your grandma had a lot of practice,” she laughed. “You are just learning.”

She was right! My Grandma Miller had a huge noodle advantage because of her years of experience. I, on the other hand, was working with a  serious noodle curve.

By the time I dished up dinner the noodles were fine, maybe not as good as my grandma’s, but for a rookie they were pretty good.

As I cleaned up my mess I thought of all the times I have said to myself…“I wish I could write like that, take pictures like that, cook like  that …”
I realized that everyone has a noodle curve before they can achieve perfection.

Frustrated with your noodle curve? If at first you don’t succeed…keep rolling until you get it right.
