Homemade noodles YUM! Part 1

The other day I went over to my mother in laws to learn how to make noodles. Now this is a process with no recipe so it makes it rather hard.
We got the ingredients together.




You beat one egg and then add it to a bowl of flour.





You then begin gently and slowly adding flour to the egg.

Then using your fingers, you begin to knead in small amounts .

You add flour till you get a dough you can pick up .

I really think it is one of those things you have to do again and again till you get it right!

Making butter!

I never know from week to week what I will be shooting. It makes life fun and I love the challenge of taking pictures to illustrate articles.

This shoot was a step by step on how to make butter. I found the challenge to be how to make the shoot colorful. Luckily my friend had a great red mixer and I hauled along my blue graniteware and old blue bowls. I think it made a feast for the eyes! It certainly helped that she has a beautiful kitchen!
