Chicken and dumplings.

Chicken thighs, onions, celery and parsley..salt and pepper to taste.

Simmer until the meat is falling off the bones..pick the meat, pitch the skin and put everything back in the bowl.

2 eggs beaten. salt and pepper them well.

make a well in a mound of flour.

work in batches...few tablespoons of eggs into the flour.

knead until you have a compliant dough.. stop well before it becomes crumbly.

Dust flour on the counter top and roll the dough..Turn it a quarter turn every pass and every 3rd or 4th pass flip it over.

Dust with flour as needed to keep it from getting sticky.

You want them thin. They can’t be too thin.

Bring chicken and stock back to a boil..

Use a pizza cutter and cut the dumplings however you prefer..Diamonds or squares..Go strips and then cross cut.

Cut them smaller than you think necessary because they expand.

Slide them a few at a time into the broth..you don’t want them sticking together...stir often.

Repeat until you have used all the eggs.

Turn the heat to simmer for about 10 minutes.

Open a bottle of white wine.

Before the vino... about 3 bucks tops

Enjoy

Some times we forget about what to with bits and pieces leftovers but keep this in mind next time you're hunting up something to make on a shoe string and PDQ!.



A Frittata or an original Spanish Tortilla!

There are so many variations which you can look up or make your own up and guaranteed there won't be any leftovers left.

BAKED CHICKEN WITH WHITE WINE

boneless chicken breasts
oil
Italian bread crumbs
2 tbsp white wine per breast
salt
pepper

Sprinkle the chicken with spices, dip in the oil, and cover with the breadcrumbs. Place in a baking pan.

Bake for 45 minutes at 400 degrees. At the 15 minute point, spoon the wine onto the chicken, and cover with aluminum foil. At the 35 minute point, remove foil.

(Drink the rest of the wine with the chicken.)

Busy as all get out for hours.

2 calls, 5 new hospital cases.

I’m totally overwhelmed...

What I want to do first isn’t necessarily what hubster wants to do first.

I think all the seed I put out 2 weeks ago has drowned.

I’ll have to start over...but that’s the chance you take planting early.

I think friday is our start date but it’s going to be clean up, fix up, paint up while it is empty before we move anything in.

A salad is an excellent idea. I also served steamed potatoes and onions as a side dish with this.
