Noodles made of poodles with a slice of garden hose, and Nish Nobblers

Mary has a funny cookbook called Roald Dahl's Even More Revolting Recipes.  It has dishes that reference Roald Dahl's many surreal stories.  And the two we chose weren't too hard.

The noodles weren't really made from poodles or garden hose.  But Mary did make noodles from scratch, which is a first for us.  Half were regular, and half were heavily infused with parsley.  We hung them from coat hangers to dry before cooking them.  Our flour was on the stale side, but seemed to work okay.  We ate them with packaged meatballs, olive oil, and parmesan.

The Nish Nobblers were simply molded chocolate.  Except the mold was bubble wrap.  We tempered some chocolate and then spread it over the bubbles before putting it in the fridge to harden.  Really simple, and really cool.  We started looking for silicone candy molds for the future, since the process of tempering chocolate seems to be pretty easy.
