    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
    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.

    Title: Gizzards & Noodles
    Categories: Five, Poultry, Offal, Pasta
    Yield: 3 Servings

    1 lb Chicken gizzards; halved,
    - rinsed well
    2 ts Salt
    500 g Pkg ALDI Swabian Spaetzle *
    1/2 c Butter
    Salt & pepper

    * or YOUR favourite noodle/pasta

    Rinse and cut in half each gizzard.

    Simmer in water and 2 tsp salt for about 3 hours or until
    very tender. Or crockpot them for 3 - 4 hours. Do Not Boil

    Cook noodles until done, drain and add gizzards, butter
    and salt (or garlic salt) and pepper to taste.

    The recipe screams for additions and variations like the
    "Truck-Stop Gravy" recipe made with chicken broth
    instead of beef broth. A sprinkle of basil and oregano
    would be nice, too. And maybe some grated Parmesan,
    Romano or Asiago cheese over the top. (I've done all of
    these at one time or another)

    Another Uncle Dirty Dave special.

    MMMMM

    ... Why do all hot sauce bottles have menacingly hyperbolic labels?

    Title: Whole Wheat Egg Noodles or Dumplings
    Categories: Five, Pasta
    Yield: 1 Batch

    4 tb Ground flax seed
    2 c Whole wheat flour
    2 lg Eggs
    1 ts Salt
    1 ts Baking powder *
    Water as needed

    * Why put baking powder in noodles, anyway? Egg noodles
    tend to be a little lighter in texture than regular pasta,
    and it's baking powder that gives them that boost.

    Combine flax seed, whole wheat flour, egg and salt in a
    medium bowl. Add and mix in 1 tablespoon of water at a
    time, until the dough is no longer sticky.

    Roll the dough out in a rectangle shape, as thin as you
    can. If it shrinks back, let it rest for about 10 minutes,
    then try again. Carefully roll it up like a jelly roll.
    Using a very sharp knife, cut it into 1/2 inch sections.
    Unroll the pieces, put unto a baking sheet with flour on
    it and let it rest/dry until you are ready to use it.

    P.S. These freeze well in ZipLoc bags.
