Noodles and Prunes

I remember as a child, growing up, my dear sweet mother would often cook us a special dish we loved: Noodles and Prunes! Well tonight, as I was driving home, I just had a huge craving for noodles and prunes. Now the secret to this yummy dish is the noodles. They must be "egg" noodles. Simply stew up some prunes, cook your egg noodles as per the directions on the package, and then fry up bread crumbs. The bread crumbs need to be fried in butter until they are browned and a bit crispy! Drain the noodles, sprinkle a few bread crumbs and toss, then put the prunes on top, and then the rest of the bread crumbs.. toss it around a bit. I served it with caesar salad which I made with extra garlic cloves. If you click on the photo to enlarge, you will have a better idea of those wonderful fried bread crumbs. My dinner was perfect, and as delicious as I remember my mom making it. Chris, true to his own self.. made french fries in his new fryer.
