    Title: Egg Noodles
    Categories: Five, Eggs, Pasta
    Yield: 4 Servings

    4 lg Eggs; beaten well
    3 c Flour; or more, as needed
    Salt

    Beat the eggs well with a pinch of salt. Add flour, as
    much as is needed to make a stiff, smooth dough.

    Roll out the dough to about 1/8" thick for noodle or
    1/4" (or more) for dumplings.

    If making noodles you may cut the dough into ribbons on
    the cutting board. Or, as I usually do, flour the dough
    well and roll it up before cutting the noodles. The
    rolls can then be shaken out and put into the pot or
    popped into a container and frozen for future reference.

    If making dumplings roll out the dough to 1/4" (or more)
    thickness and cut squares or rectangles of whatever size
    you would like. These may be added to the cooking pot
    straight away or put into a container and frozen for
    later use.

    This recipe, which I learned from my Grandmother,
    expands or contracts as needed. The general rule of
    thumb is one large or jumbo egg for each serving/person
    and as much flour as can be worked into the beaten egg.
    Salt is up to each individual maker - I use a generous
    pinch, others may use more. But, you need some salt.

    Title: Dirty Dave's Old Fashion Chicken & Noodles
    Categories: Poultry, Pasta, Vegetables, Herbs
    Yield: 5 Servings

    500 g (17.6 oz) Swabian Spaetzle *
    28 oz (2 cans) chicken broth
    +=OR=+
    3 1/2 c Homemade chicken stock/broth
    2 Chicken leg quarters; cooked
    - meat removed from bone and
    - shredded
    1/8 ts Ground sage
    1 ts Celery seed
    1/4 ts (to 1/2 ts) "Italian" herb
    - seasoning
    10 3/4 oz Can cream of chicken soup
    1 1/2 c Left over chicken gravy
    +=OR=+
    12 oz Jar Heinz chicken gravy

    * Deutsche Kuche found at ALDI. These are as good as I
    can make from scratch on a good day. And not expensive.

    In a large pan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add the
    noodles. Stir. Let it come back to a boil, turn down to
    a medium heat, stirring often. While cooking add chicken
    and spices. Cook noodles until tender, if it becomes dry
    add small amount of water until noodles are tender.

    Mix together chicken soup and gravy. Add to the noodle
    mixture and stir continuously. When they are no longer
    watery, remove from heat. The noodles will be thick,
    creamy and chewy. Similar to dumplings.

    Serves 4-6 with side dishes.
