    I was lucky enough to be invited to my Amish friends quilting (I just visited with the ladies while they quilted). The younger girls don't enjoy quilting, so they were put to work making noodles. They used 96 egg yolks and I don't know how much flour, but their process was just like yours including the ironing of the dough - which was new to me. It was a wonderful, relaxing day filled with visiting and sharing of stories and I enjoyed it so much. My friend ended up with two and a half five gallon buckets of dried noodles and I came home with a full cookie sheet of noodles which I finished drying. Memories to treasure. Thanks so much for sharing!

    I was raised next door to a PA Durch family (not Mennonite or Amish but lifestyle) She made everything from scratch and she swore I could tell from a 1/4 mile away when she opened the Hoosier cabinet to bake bread or make noodles. She would dump about (guessing here ) 5 lbs of flour on her kitchen table (enamel topped) make a well in the middle and have no idea how many eggs went in the middle. I would sit at one of the chairs on my knees to watch. She made squares for the biggest pot of Slippery Pot Pie you've ever seen. That meant the their preacher would be coming that Sunday after church and I was invited also. Homemade bread and home grown green beans. I loved her so much, she was the only adult who made me feel like I was loved.

Kind of sad - her niece that I played with died this week and it leaves only one of Melva's family left the youngest niece. I will say the boy I dated in high school was Brethern, his mother wore the little cap. She didn't like me because (or I thought so) was an Episcopalian. As hard as I worked on that farm for them - I couldn't win her over.

The chicken tasted like chicken (not cardboard) and the noodles were amazing with just enough flour from the noodles to thicken the soup perfectly! Oh and the home-made hot bread fresh from my Grandmother’s oven - she cut off one end & slathered it with butter & honey for me… oh gosh… now I’m hungry & lonely!

    I’ve made noodles before, but I never heard of ironing them! I grew up in a community with a lot of Holdemann Mennonite people, so I wonder if it’s part of their tradition. I don’t have a pasta machine, so I roll my noodles out by hand, and cut them with a large chef’s knife. I also use the same dough to make egg roll wrappers, and have even made fried hand pies with it!
    I enjoyed watching the boys’ antics, especially the flour facial hair! I love Hadassah’s name. I wish the book of Esther had been named Hadassah instead, since that was her real name! I hope your Hadassah is as courageous and steadfast as her namesake!

      2 teaspoons cream of tartar
      1/3 cup salt
      1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Ironing pasta sounded bizarre at first but it makes sense when you think about it. My mom just fan-folded the dough and cut it by hand: no pasta machine or pasta cutter.
    My son had ducks for a while and their eggs were great. I forget why, but eventually they all had to go to freezer camp.

    Liked your term "harvested" no explanation needed. I grew up on what would be called today as farmette. Parents were both brought up on farms (dairy). My mom was raised Mennonite, Pennsylvania Dutch, not related to amish or old order as yourself. Dad was first German generation born in the United States. Parents had chickens and harvested them too. Lots of crops, regular garden and a patch garden that was near the house. Fruit trees... many different types of apples, pears, peaches, plums. Blueberries and raspberries. Nut trees pecan, almond and hazelnut. Lots of canning and freezing. Myself and siblings were all expected to pull the weeds. Truly nice to see you bringing up your children with establishing skills to provide for themselves and generosity to share with others. I truly wish I could have brought my own up as I myself was. Too many of us just take it all for granted, never feeling that accomplishment.

    Hi RuthAnn and sweet family! The pasta looks so good, freshly made. I really enjoy seeing the children get involved with whatever you’re doing and they genuinely get excited to participate. They are learning while helping you.
    Your chicken alfredo and spaghetti looks delicious.
    I hope you and your family have a blessed weekend!

    This channel makes me very emotional. I remember being in the kitchen with my grandma every step of the way. You don't only learn about cooking in these moments, you learn about life. Displine, routine, hard work with beautiful results. Its doing what a parent is most obligated to and that's preparing them for when you won't be there.
    This is the true definition of " We become so others can become!"
    Thanks for sharing your beautiful life with all of us

    You definitely have patience! I don’t think I could be as patient as you are with your little boys. I love watching them though. I was watching and thinking about when these little boys are men they will remember what a wonderful life you provided for them. The skills that they learn now will last their whole lives. No better legacy could you leave them with. I truly enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing ❤

    PLUS the info on ducks and the recipe! haha
    Thanks for sharing such a peaceful home and good food!

    Thanks for sharing this. I love how you get your littles involved in the prep and preparing of food. Love the kiddos antics with the flour and I see my boys aren't the only ones who can't keep their hands out of bowl of flour...lol. Another thing, Playdough in the pasta roller/cutter. I thought my pasta cutter was the only one that has had playdough crusted into it until the next round of noodles went through. Thank you for sharing real life and not editing those things out.

    Well done young men, helping your momma! They are precious. I so appreciate the teaching you gave and sharing your heritage and homemaking skills that are lost to so many people today. I always learn something watching you and I’m older than you! But my upbringing was so different from yours. My mom was a great resourceful homemaker but she was self taught. I am trying to pass on what I learned from her but it’s such a blessing to learn so many more things I never knew about that you learned from generations of your family. Precious. Thank you!

I've been a proud mom of all my boys but I still have lots of time left to learn. Your videos are a fresh of fresh air. I love learning, gardening and Family. You have a lovely family and the kids are so funny with their little cameo's and flour mustaches 🧑‍🍳 such great helpers. Great job learning how to accomplish all that you do plus making these videos. I really appreciate watching and learning. Thanks again 😊🇨🇦

    Wow that’s a cool tip with ironing the dough! I never knew that it needed to dry first before being cut. Always thought it was such a pain to make because of the cutting process and how sticky it would get. I’ll have to give it a try and fry it out first. ❤

    You mentioned that you had wrapped your dough in a plastic bag to rest and develop gluten. Pam over at RoseRed Homestead just did a very interesting segment on the cleanliness and environmental impact of plastic bags vs other alternatives. Worth watching. Thanks for the videos; I know they take time and effort. You are appreciated!

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It is so important to pass these things on. Many of us never learned these things. They were lost in one generation. Our 1970-80’s city working moms, bless them they are heroes, taught us how to use the microwave and put tv diners in the oven. 😂. I enjoy cooking everything from scratch including cakes and pies, making soap from fat and NaOH, spinning yarn from wool, etc. I’ve had to learn it all from videos like yours or books. We all need to think about where we are getting our food now and what is in it. You are doing important work. May the Universe bless you and your lovely family. 🌸🙏🏽🌸
