Six-Word Memoirs with SMITH Mag

Grandma's home made chicken noodle soup

Backstory

My Grandma Webb made the most delicious home made noodles ever! They were the crowning glory of any meal...especially when combined with chicken or turkey stock. Turkey noodle soup was the favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner. Grandma's large family ate in shifts. The smaller of us children had royal seating. Our four little bottoms fit perfectly upon an ironing board resting upon two chairs. Now, the noodle tradition continues; my granddaughter is the fifth generation of noodle-makers
