Somebody had to make it! Lol! A lot of butter, her rolling cloth and rolling pin and a large dining room table.

I was allowed to help with noodles. Again rolling cloth and pin. She would cut them by hand and we would move them to her indoor back porch drying racks. They were so good.

She washed the cloth in a ringer washing machine. I remember her boiling clothes in her kitchen. Could you imagine?

She made an excellent light green fruit jello. Someday I’ll figure out what she did. Lime jello, cream cheese and fruit cocktail?? Maybe.

Oh, I can imagine - the Grandma who raised me was born in 1890.

But I’m still amazed at home-made phyllo dough ;-)

My mom always made a lime green jello dessert which I have tried to duplicate. Lime jello, cream cheese, walnut chips and chopped pineapple (from a can I’m sure). We scarfed it up, mostly because she rarely cooked or made dessert. Dad was the cook in the house.
