@gardengus I hear you about the muscle.
not an option for me. I've been canning beef and chicken. Also canned some potatoes cubed for soups. My mom had purchased about 6 bags of homemade noodles from the ladies groups that make them, and shared with me. I told her that as much as I'm enjoying the ease of opening a jar of my own broth, whether beef or chicken, and making up some either quick chicken and noodles, or beef and noodles; I think I'm going to want more noodles because I was doing all this now for the summer busy time and easy things to quickly fix and eat. Our noodles may soon be gone. So hopefully we are going to put her KitchenAid into good use making our own noodles. She doesn't have the attachment to use for tomatoes (yet), but she does have the one to make noodles.
