I stayed back to cook supper tonight - Chicken and noodles, mashed potatoes, and brown sugar carrots. I felt like I stepped back in time a few years today. First we went to the meat market to buy the WHOLE chicken. Well it wasn't exactly whole as it did not have a head or feet. And thankfully it was mostly plucked. Then we came back. The chickens were trimmed up then went into the stock pot to simmer all day. While they simmered I made homemade egg noodles. They were not quite as good as the ones my brother makes - grandma taught him well - but they did turn out very well. While the chicken was cooking and the noodles were drying I did two loads of laundry and hung it on the line to dry.
I was concerned about how the chicken and noodles would turn out as they do not sell cream of chicken soup here. I had many compliments on the meal and with several of the group having some tummy difficulties, I think it was a perfect meal.
At the work site Lexie helped to fill in cracks in the concrete. I also heard that they rolled her down a hill in a barrel. I have yet to see the video and will post it when I can get it transferred. As James stayed there I will have to post about his day later. The pastor's wife was going to fix supper for them so I am sure he had a delicious meal!
