Fact One: I'm not actually related to Grandma Lonie.
Fact Two: Her recipe for home made noodles makes me wish I were.

If you've ever had home made noodles you know just how delicious they are.  If you've ever made them, you know that they can be a bit of work.  If you've ever served them to two picky kids who have turned down about ten meals in a row, then ate up these noodles with both ferver and joy - you'll be happy to make them.

This recipe comes from Lonie (obviously) who is Martin and Sophie's Great-Great Grandma on the Nelson side.  The recipe comes to me via Mary who was taught to make it by Aunt Rita who learned how to make it from her mother, Lonie.  In the Nelson family, these noodles are famous and no one passes up a chance to eat them. 

The process to make the noodles can be a bit lengthy, but it can be done in stages if that seems easier (and to me, it does).  The thickness of the noodles varies a bit, usually by how good the noodle maker is at using the pasta roller.  Rita and Mary's noodles are thin, like spaghetti (noodle experts); my noodles are thick like large worms (not a noodle expert).  Regardless of your noodle rolling proficiency, they are delicious and will disappear quickly.
