Noodle Kugel

Everybody’s noodle kugel
Varies in a way
And some taste just as different
As the night is to the day.

Most recipes were handed down,
A bit of family lore,
Or found in temple cookbooks,
Which have recipes galore.

I tried a few when searching
For the one I’d call my own,
Since the kugels of my grandmas
From my memory have flown.

But I hit upon the perfect one
And make it every year.
Not everybody loves it
But each piece will disappear

Since whatever’s left, I’ll wrap and freeze
So it won’t go to waste
And then, bit by bit, I’ll eat it
‘Cause it’s made to just my taste.

Ah, sounds delicious, but, Ilene, I have no idea what "noodle kugel" is! I was raised in the hills of West Virginia where we ate beans and potatoes and liked it! And, no one could make yeast rolls like my mom!
