    Hi Dave,

    For some unknown reason, I wasn't able to get mail last week so today is
    the first day I've seen something since probably last Monday.

    We do this with chicken, no ham, tomato or bacon. Just chicken, potato,
    egg and sometimes an onion. It's good, no matter how it's made. (G) I
    made chicken piccota last week, turned out really good (yes, I used
    capers) so will do it again. One change I made was to use chicken breast cutlets instead of cutting or pounding a breast piece; it saved a step
    and no mess to clean up before going on to the next step. I will
    definatly make it again; we both enjoyed it.

    made chicken piccota last week, turned out really good (yes, I used capers) so will do it again. One change I made was to use chicken

    a step and no mess to clean up before going on to the next step. I will definatly make it again; we both enjoyed it.

    Bacon is my favourite vegetable. As you may have suspected. Ham is ok,
    but just barely. Pork chops, no we're talking. Most of my chicken is
    done with dark meat. I bought 3 ten pound bags of leg quarters last
    week when they were put on sale @59c/lb. Did one bag in my casserole
    crock-pot and came out with severalm pounds of shredded chicken, a lot
    of bones for stock making, a good supply of schmaltz for frying spuds
    and other things, and some skin to add into the stock for thickening.

    The legs I didn't cook right away are sucky-bagged and frozen. The meat
    that I puled from the cooked quarters wasw divided into meal sized lots
    and got the sucky-bag treatment except for the one I used for chicken
    amd noodles.

    Not much money in that batch of chciken but a lot of "sweat equity".
    And I've got chicken enough to last until the next great deal. Bv)=

    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.

    I don't like not having fido either, especially cooking as it's the echo
    with the most traffic. I only get 3 echoes--45 points (required by the
    one we point off of) and private netmail which most often gets a listing
    of my echoes about every 3 weeks.

    enough beef for a couple of meals.

    I prefer the dark meat unless it's free range chicken. The dark has way
    more flavour than the pale meat. A free range bird that has lived outside
    a cage and scratched for its food is much tastier (and expensive) than
    the battery chicken that is more common in stores.

    Hi Dave,

    made chicken piccota last week, turned out really good (yes, I used capers) so will do it again. One change I made was to use chicken
    breast cutlets instead of cutting or pounding a breast piece; it saved
    a step and no mess to clean up before going on to the next step. I will definatly make it again; we both enjoyed it.

    Otherwise we could subsist on bland flavourless pap.

    Yes, and as I said, it saved having to clean up the mess of making my
    own cutlets. It's a bit pricier doing it that way but now within our
    budget.


    done with dark meat. I bought 3 ten pound bags of leg quarters last

    We use a lot of white meat unless we've bought a whole chicken. Then he will take the dark, I'll take the white.

    I prefer the dark meat unless it's free range chicken. The dark has
    way more flavour than the pale meat. A free range bird that has lived outside a cage and scratched for its food is much tastier (and
    expensive) than
    the battery chicken that is more common in stores.

    But there are lots of ways to add flavor to the chicken--and I've got a
    well stocked spice cabinet. (G)


    The legs I didn't cook right away are sucky-bagged and frozen. The

    We got some breasts down at Costco the other day; they were all individually bagged (not vaccuum) in freezer weight bags so when we got home, I just put the whole thing into the freezer. I'll be able to tear off one or two bags as I need them.

    people it hasn't been the same. I refuse, on principle, to do business with any part of WalMart.

    We prefer Costco but Sam's came to WF about 8 years ago. I've heard
    rumors in the past, and again in the past few weeks, that we may be
    getting a Costco also. We fill our propane tanks thru Costco as the only
    place in town that does it charges a flat rate, no matter how empty (or
    full) your tank is. Costco will pro rate it.

    Not much money in that batch of chciken but a lot of "sweat equity".

    IIRC, that one was in 2017 so that roast is well aged. Glad you're
    enjoying it.

    This recipe - halved - will use up the last of it. My electric
    slicer DD> has been getting a workout. Bv)=

    Electric slicers are good for some things; we have one that gets used
    from time to time.
