Just One More Surprise!

What a great way to start my New Year! 

Well it's time I give my bloggers the cue about Santa's workbench.
As you can obviously see,
I received a long awaited noodle machine for Christmas from my family.

Within a day or two I was up to the challenge in making my first noodles.
Not quite knowing how to operate this new gadget,
I just hauled out my handy dandy iPad,
as it walked me through step by step on You Tube.

As I continued working through the steps,
my dough became longer and thinner.

Finally, the dough was as thin as could be.
I cut them in half and began the next step.

Slowly working one hand through the machine,
while the other hand turned the handle.
I was beginning to get the hint....

 

That oddly looking package became my new noodle rack.

We had tiers of noodles and next time, I will double the batch.
He's always had a hard time surprising me.
Somehow he's always left a hint or two...
but not this time.
I wonder what's next in his bag of surprises?
He knows how to keep me smiling and in the kitchen.
It did not take long before, a days labor of love,
was completely devoured by a hungry family,
who stood eagerly watching and waiting.
