Even though her mother said that she didn't like noodles she ate them because she made them. ANYTHING is fun at grandma's house.
Once, when the older ones were younger we did melt (in the microwave, me handling the hot stuff of course) some white chocolate, and stirred in those little pretzel sticks, those skinny short ones). They were so proud of themselves...because they really are tasty. I forgot ALL about that easy 'recipe.' I had sent home a KID'S recipe book, and when they did get home, their mom did let them get more involved in making their own easy snacks, etc. I REALLY do have memory trouble, thanks for the good memory-jog!
