I'm working on getting a suitcase full of old photo's scanned in as well. If I could make up my mind what we were having for supper, I'd be in good shape.

Last night was Oma's chicken and dumplings recipe.

Chicken Broth
1 hen
Salt and Pepper
1 small onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 bay leaf

Dumplings
4 eggs
1/4 cup water
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
Mix in self rising flour until mixture can no longer be stirred.

Boil until meat falls from the bones. Strain through colander and bring broth back to a boil. Add dumplings 1 tsp at a time. After the last dumplings are added, cover and turn off heat. Let set 15 minutes for dumplings to finish cooking.
