Sitting on a cartload of noodles this large I had to take action:
Boiled up a bunch of the noodles and, after draining, added 'em to some of my homemade celery soup. Put a little too much pepper into that batch of soup. The noodles added body to the soup, bulking it up a bit, and they diluted the extra pepper somewhat which was good. At the bottom line it all came out OK.
I guess those many servings of noodles will, after all, be used up in the fullness of time.
