It is such a JOY to see you walking around, doing chores, feeding the birds, without coughing (on camera at least)!! ♥️♥️

[@thefreylife]

Thanks sunnya8! :)

[@fragilefleur]

I was thinking the same thing. I've missed some time being busy and checking in seeing Mary kicking butt, making soup, feeding birds, unloading groceries , getting something that makes Peter happy and best of all her dream in the past of contributing more to their little family is just truly amazing and cool to see. It was super fun to watch her cook and I know she's quite creative by nature so super looking forward to what she gets up to (including egg noodles) while she's got a day's worth of energy!! Woohoo! Go Mary go!

[@celialabarbera1932]

Love you guys! I’m actually at appointments all day at BCH. I’ll never forget meeting you. I want you to know u saved my life. You kept me from hurting myself. I was in a really bad place then and knowing about your courage, made me think”I can do this.”

[@cynthiarobertson9435]

I have issues with crying after cutting up onions too. What I have done to help with that is run the onion after you have cut in half, knife and cutting board under cold water. This has worked for me.

[@autumnmartin8177]

Mary it is so good to see you up and moving around and just cooking and going shopping! I'm so proud of you and that vertex is a blessing from God! God bless you and Peter! It is just amazing and blowing my mind at all of the things that you're able to do now! You guys are such an inspiration XOXO

[@neenagraham]

Mary! Look at all you did in this vlog! I am so happy for you that you can do all these things now. It's amazing!

[@k.elh.8097]

I remember making eggnoodls in big batches with my grandma. We rolled out the dough very thinly on very large, round wooden boards and cut it into long strips that were as wide as the noodles should be long. When these strips had dried a bit, we stacked them and cut them into noodles with a sharp knife. when the noodles were really dry, my grandma packed them in airtight boxesand glasses and kept them in her pantry for later use. You are inspiring me to do the same on my own.

[@thefreylife]

Mina ino what great memories! & thanks for sharing the details, it's helpful as I'm still learning the eggnoodle making process :)

[@Judymontel]

Oh wow, thank you - I want to try making them at some point!!

[@bionicprincess8008]

The joy you both feel over your new home is so heartwarming. There truly is no place like home. Peter’s workbench is really an awesome guy thing to own!! My husband has one his Dad helped him build. Mary, the fact that you can cook things like noodles from scratch is a real testament to you Vertex can 🤗. What an awesome feeling to be able to make things for others who are in need or struggling. Such a good feeling after all the blessings you have received when you were very sick. You two are the sweetest couple. ❤️❤️

[@SudsAndSerendipity]

Mary best way to make egg noodles is the amish way. Make a mound of flour on your surface, make a hole in the middle. Kinda like a volcano, and put your eggs in the hole. Work your flour and eggs together with your fingers until you have a dough. Roll out and cut to your preferred size.

[@Judymontel]

Wow you guys had a full day!! Thanks for all the cooking inspiration. I might just give those noodles a try... And congrats on the workbench!!

[@cbush3569]

Look at you handling that ginormous bag of bird seed! Because you Vertex can!!! I love seeing you cook, it inspires me cook more homemade recipes.💕 I would try making the noodles thinner & you would be good to go! Good job! Yay! Peter got his workbench. You two have the best luck finding your house treasures!

[@marshatomkins7989]

Sometime after I left home, my parents got into making noodles. I would come to visit and there would be long noodles drying on broomsticks laying between chair backs. Good times.

[@thefreylife]

😂😂😂 Marsha Tomkins that's amazing!

[@marcellachervenak8747]

I think you have the two cutest pets in the world.

[@KassieKalena]

The noodles look good! They are like homemade Pennsylvania Dutch noodles. 💓 we make pot pie with them.

[@daniellebentley7819]

thats what i thought they looked like too!

[@kathleenjbazan5563]

I do remember my mom making homemade noodles, I think she dried them out before adding them to the soup. I remember seeing the dough drying out in front of our old fashion space heater. She rolled it pretty thin, just had the whole piece of thin dough drying, then cut the dry dough into noodles, then added them to the soup.

[@carolynk.9856]

I think I would be tired too with everything you did. It is so exciting that you can do all that you did! My heart is happy for you!

[@Joyce-dd3fm]

So happy to see that you're feeling better! Soup looks delicious!

[@JeriAnnHenson]

Where did you get the bird feeder “fillers”? I feel like I saw you buying them but can’t remember....I’m old! Looks like spatzel! Yummy!

[@RandallJT84]

If you're truly wanting to learn how to make noodles/pasta at home/from scratch; purchase a Pasta Machine/Press. It'll make the whole process much easier. Also, buy some pasta rollers, or use a Pizza Roller to cut more precise shapes etc.. Stock vs Broth Stock is made utilizing the bones of an animal (beef/chicken/fish/shrimp/lobster) Broth is made by utilizing the Meat of an animal. When preparing a Stock, in order to make sure it's clear/not cloudy is to make sure it doesn't get into a Hard/Rapid Boil. Bringing a Stock/Broth to a Simmer. and leave it be. Stir, and skim any foam/scum that rises to the top. Boiling causes the cloudiness in a Stock. Boiling of a Stock/Broth causes agitation to the meat proteins (collagen in bones) which promotes cloudiness in the end product. Mire Poix vs The Holy Trinity (differences/flavors/Utilization) Carrots, Celery, and Onion or (Mire Poix) in French Cuisine the use of these aromatic root vegetables is paramount for the simple building blocks of flavor in most French cuisine. When making Stocks/Broths you don't have t take as much time dicing/cutting up the Mire Poix as it's only used for flavor, then thrown away. Rough chopping of the aromatic vegetables is alright in these applications. If you ever find/buy fresh Italian or even Curly Parsley, use the Stems for flavor in the Stock, along with Whole Black Peppercorns (about a Tablespoon or so). All of these will again be strained/tossed before final use in cooking. Cajun immigrants adapted this trio, but omitted Celery for Green Pepper. This is called "The Holy Trinity" in Cajun Cooking. It's used as flavor building blocks in Gumbos, Etouffees, and other classically prepared Cajun dishes. Just some random/culinary tidbits for you guys! Keep on cooking!! Practice makes perfect! God Bless

[@LansdowneLady]

Love the cooking show...Thank you Mary! And loving that new work bench too!

Peter: you might want to check the accuracy of the measuring labels on the workbench - just in case. Could screw up a project if it's off. Virginia Clearbrook MN

[@masunshine2970]

It looks like you did a great job on your noodles and soup. I was taught to make my noodles like that years ago when I was a young girl. The only thing my grandmother taught me was to put 1 less egg and add hot broth from the soup pot and add a tiny bit of poultry seasoning like a pinch or two and salt and pepper. It seems like no matter how thin you make them they plump up. My kids are grown adults like the two of you and if I make chicken soup and use store bought noodles they don't want any. They want the homemade noodles. Your soup looked wonderful. Have a Wonderful Day!!🌞🌞

[@joannelong9566]

Great job on making the egg noddles Mary. It's all ways fun when we learn to make something new. Peter congratulations on getting your new work bench. Thanks so much for sharing god bless.

[@suevecchio7013]

Yes...quite often. My husband is Italian. I've now bought a pasta machine. Yours seemed to come out well. Sometimes it's fun to try something new. Sending love and blessings to all of you!!

[@brynnejewell1275]

This was a fun video! I enjoyed some of the neat filming edits, like what you did for the grocery haul. That soup looked so good🤤🍲

[@thefreylife]

Thanks Brynne!

[@Akkii50]

I don't live in an apartment where I can really do much cooking yet (hype to move in September!) But my grandma used to make noodles every year for Thanksgiving! I believe she would make them way in advance and store them in the freezer for a few weeks before cooking them, not only to save on the stress of Thanksgiving cooking, but also because it helped the noodles taste better (I'm not sure exactly how, though...maybe they stayed firmer?) But I always ate more noodles and gravy than anything else at Thanksgiving!

[@bgmaple47232]

My mama told me to use all purpose flour when making noodles/dumplings to keep them from getting too puffy and floating to the top. Mary, your noodles looked yummy. Brava for trying something new.

[@lizdowning6134]

You had me giggling with the raspberry fake out moment with the soup!

It looks really really good Mary! I've never made my own noodles only because I really am not for sure I could do it now I watched my grandma if you roll out dough and make Square dumpling type things that went in soup and it was so delicious it looks like you did a really great job girl

[@sallylove3563]

Mary would you put up the recipe of how you did the oats ... sounds really interesting to try thanks !!!!!!!! glad you are doing so much better

[@kecrn4132]

sally love - yes!! Me too! I was so envious seeing her oats!

[@jaytee2642]

If you refrigerate cooked steel cut oats, they turn into a Slab 'O Oats, so just follow the recipe on the package. Then when you want to serve some, simply hack off a chunk and reheat with some added liquid of choice to soften it up, along with your preferred add-ins. It's a real time saver because steel cut oats take a while to cook.

If you’re interested I can give you my Baba’s homemade noodle recipe. Once you dry them they store really well. They are perfect for soup. You just cook them then throw them in. It’s so nice to see how well you are doing. 😊

[@weatherwidow]

I think we *all* want Baba's recipe 😆

[@pamwatson7327]

Yes you are correct to cut thinner. But also try cooking them outside your broth in salted water first then rinse and add just like you would dried noodles. In addition, with left over soup add cream of chicken or mushroom soup and some sour cream and thicken it. Then add make this egg noodle dough. But do not roll out. Nice tight dough mixture that you just pull a hunk out with a butter knife and drop into boiling water. We call it lacey dumplings. Then add these to your thickened soup. Nice reincarnation to regular chicken soup.

[@janesmith8050]

I’m sure 100 ppl already said this but... you did great on the noodles, yours was more of an egg dumpling, next time roll them even thinner but also let them dry out hard before u cook them next time. Will make a difference for ya. But I personally prefer mine to be dumpling like.

[@thefreylife]

Thanks StormPixie! :) It was definitely an adventure making them for the first time :)

[@XravensunsetX]

If you’re looking to free up space in the fridge (and free up your soup pot too)... pour your oats into a round Pyrex dish (and you can cut slices from that). 👍🏻

[@marilan8154]

WOW some of the speeded up parts of the vlog were like unintentional ASMR! I liked the chopping noises and bird seed being poured into the feeders. Is that weird, because I also think of things like what will fit into trucks, or “how’d they get those cows up on the Chick Fil A billboard?”. So if Peter’s weird then so am I! My mind just goes rampant when I’m driving or riding in the car. Even if I know the answer I really want to see things being done. Anyway, love you guys!

[@Pugmamaof3]

Just wondering since you make your own chicken broth have you ever made homemade bone broth for Ollie it’s good for his joints. Side note on homemade noodles sometimes it helps to leave the noodles to dry out for a couple hours or so before cooking it can help with the texture of the noodles not so sticky feeling

[@Hallz18]

Mary, you’re amazing!

[@MissaLVT]

That looks SO good! I've had to cut out gluten recently, for health reasons, so the bread and noodles you've made look so good to me right now...lol. I know they make gluten free bread and pasta but it's just not the same at all.

[@shadowkissed2370]

Since your in North Carolina now have you guys tried Brunswick stew yet? When we moved out there it was a staple for North Carolinians and it was brought to our door so much by the neighbors.

[@sophiehoglo]

You should try making chicken stock in the instant pot!

[@chronicallynicole8392]

If you make noodles again, you should use a high gluten flour like bread flour instead of all purpose. :D

[@weatherwidow]

Good to know, and I just got bread flour the other day when I made garlic knots for the first time!

[@chronicallynicole8392]

@@weatherwidow If you use bread flour or something with a high gluten, it makes for a tender & slightly chewy noodle. If you make a noodle without working & resting the gluten they tend not to keep so well in soup and can turn to mush. No one likes a mushy noodle!

My advice for the noodles is to cut them smaller and let the noodles dry out at least a couple hours before adding them to the soup. That's how my mom always taught me.

[@weatherwidow]

What kind of pot is that? I never thought of using something like that, and straining it is no fun. This is awesome!

Mary - you should let your noodles dry on the counter for a while - flipping them every once in a while.
