I decided to try a new recipe from pioneerwomancooks.com and she recommended using homemade noodles for it and then she confided that the frozen bag of homemade noodles found at her grocery store in her small Oklahoma town. She often implies that if she has it there in Podunk, OK then we all will for sure have it wherever we may be.
I am here to tell you that despite being apart of the great metropolitan area of NYC the grocery stores here SUCK! There are no frozen homemade noodles to be found. The problem with grocery shopping here is that there are thousands of small stores -- each one with its own peculiarities and to find all the "normal" stuff I need it is not uncommon for me to have to frequent 4 grocery stores. Some of them even have names like "Super" in front of them. What they mean is "Super" expensive, super inconvenient, super likely to not have what I want.
So I had to make my own noodles. I followed the instructions on PW's website. Here is the link http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/05/homemade-pasta/
It was not so hard (6 eggs, 3 cups flour). But it was messy.
Lots of kneading and adding in a little flour.
I rolled it out (and now after they have been cooked) wished I had rolled it thinner, but I had already spent more time on this than I wanted. They were tasty.

I LOVE homemade egg noodles. Did they soak up all your juice in the leftover soup? because mine tend to do that sometimes. But they are so, SO good.
