I reached into Grandmother’s pantry and paused my hand over the noodles. Packaged?
“I gave up making my own — to difficult with age.”
Oh, but they were good. Rich with eggs, flavored with salt and the stiff dough rolled thin. I think they are my favorite “N” food. Let’s see…what else can we find for a meal. Oh, yes, we’ll garnish the Noodles with a few washed Nasturtium leaves. And we’ll dine on a handful of nuts to finish it off.
The photo? Neither Noodles nor Nuts — but…

Nutmegs ready for the grater. A little bit adds a lot of flavor and interest to many foods. My favorite meatball recipe includes a nice portion and pumpkin pie wouldn’t be complete without a dash.
