maggots michael, you're eating maggots-- how do they taste?

if you're anywhere near as nerdy as me, you'll get that reference and realize that i'm about to talk about the awesome noodles i made. and if you don't get that reference i won't embarass myself further by telling you what movie it's from-- there may or may not be vampires in it, it has BOTH coreys, and i've seen it no less than 100 million times. oh, and i'm about to talk about the noodles i made for the kickass carcass soup.

this was my first venture into noodle cookery. i subbed 1/2 the all purpose flour with whole wheat flour and subbed milled flax seeds+water for one of the eggs. my kitchen counters were accommodating enough-- i made a small batch of dough and didn't roll them out quite as 'paper thin' as betty crocker suggested (in retrospect though-- i like my noodles thick, but i wish i hadn't made then quite as thick as i did. a) i'm lazy and got tired of rolling, and b) i had already used up all clean rollable surfaces and was more than happy to call it good). i was a bit nervous about how long they took to cook, but they were pretty good in the end.

overall critique of the soup-- i wish i had allowed more time for the stock to become stock. it was good and pretty flavorful, but you didn't feel it down in your toes like i wanted. i still have 1/2 a carcass so i guess this was just a trial run.

observation> like cake, noodles are freaking easy to make and they taste so much better than crap from a box. i need to find me a rich man so i can stay home and cook all our meals from scratch...
