Loved your lack of fuss over eggs almost dropping while being gathered and the boys enjoyment with helping in the kitchen. You are a sweet mother.

I was lucky enough to be invited to my Amish friends quilting (I just visited with the ladies while they quilted). The younger girls don't enjoy quilting, so they were put to work making noodles. They used 96 egg yolks and I don't know how much flour, but their process was just like yours including the ironing of the dough - which was new to me. It was a wonderful, relaxing day filled with visiting and sharing of stories and I enjoyed it so much. My friend ended up with two and a half five gallon buckets of dried noodles and I came home with a full cookie sheet of noodles which I finished drying. Memories to treasure. Thanks so much for sharing!

I loved when you told the boys they must obey. Unlike parents today who let their children run them. Too many parents want to be their child’s friend and not the parent. Thank you for being a real parent/mother. You are a rare being in this day and age and I commend you.

Your gentle spirit is a gift to this world, and I enjoy watching and learning from you.

My paternal great grandmother had a table with over a dozen leaves. She would put all the leaves in and cover it with homemade noodles. My eldest has her table now as well as her birthday. Treasures!

I was raised next door to a PA Durch family (not Mennonite or Amish but lifestyle) She made everything from scratch and she swore I could tell from a 1/4 mile away when she opened the Hoosier cabinet to bake bread or make noodles. She would dump about (guessing here ) 5 lbs of flour on her kitchen table (enamel topped) make a well in the middle and have no idea how many eggs went in the middle. I would sit at one of the chairs on my knees to watch. She made squares for the biggest pot of Slippery Pot Pie you've ever seen. That meant the their preacher would be coming that Sunday after church and I was invited also. Homemade bread and home grown green beans. I loved her so much, she was the only adult who made me feel like I was loved.

It was so good to see the little boys.
The three of them looking into the camera was the best thing all day.
Good job Kendrick.
Good job Maxwell.
Good job Harrison.
Thank you for showing us how to make noodles and that duck eggs would be delicious. We had Muscovy ducks when I was little.

I loved seeing the kids helping and laughing and playing in the kitchen with you!

😂 "oh, there was playdough in there." 😅 That means ght have been my undoing. She was so casual about it it I think she just healed my whole childhood!

I’ve made noodles before, but I never heard of ironing them! I grew up in a community with a lot of Holdemann Mennonite people, so I wonder if it’s part of their tradition. I don’t have a pasta machine, so I roll my noodles out by hand, and cut them with a large chef’s knife. I also use the same dough to make egg roll wrappers, and have even made fried hand pies with it!
I enjoyed watching the boys’ antics, especially the flour facial hair! I love Hadassah’s name. I wish the book of Esther had been named Hadassah instead, since that was her real name! I hope your Hadassah is as courageous and steadfast as her namesake!

Kendrick was so proud of his flour mustache! He gave me a good chuckle. Thank you for showing how to make noodles, very interesting! God bless you and your beautiful family!

Your children are great helpers 😊 I love how they come together and know their chores. So good to watch. That pasta dough is so yellow with those eggs 🥰

[sharonbunker]

Woke up this morning and realized it was Saturday, yay. Then remembered the Zimmerman's were on YouTube, yay. Then watching the boys play with flour, such a good morning

Nothing beats home-made pasta, it's just the best.

[favorgrace]

Your daughter is beautiful and was a great help with the pasta rolling! She looked like an expert! Good job momma!

[alexandrianunley]

You’re kids are going to be so thankful you taught them this stuff. I certainly wish I had learned. Thank you for sharing!

This is how children learn to cook and participate in family responsibilities.

Its very heart warming to see a family working together in harmony to create homemade food. ❤
