Kevin. when I make my chicken and dumplins, I use my mothers southern recipe which calls for making a dough with just water, flour and salt. It's rolled out thin and then cut into rectangles. Is this what is considered an Amish noodle? Lol. It does the same thing with thickening the sauce into a gravy.
Many peole have never had flat dumplins and become addicted to them very quickly after I get them to try them.

If that is true then I can make the pasta myself!

Sauce is simmering and the meatballs are fried. It's a good day for a pasta dinner.

IC my very Southern Belle deceased Ma-In-Law made the flat rolled dumplings, at first when she served them and when I first tased them I thought "What the HAY???":confused: After many Sunday dinners of her Chciken & Dumplings I grew to love them They are not bad at all, you just have to cook them long enough to remove the "gummy & doughiness" they are good. As a matter of fact there is a canned Chicken & Dumpling put out by "Sue Bee" that is the flat dumplings and they are good too! I prefer the drop dumplings and the light fluffy centers that absorb the broth!

Oh and I forgot our menu tonight!

Red Wine Beef Stew
French Bread
Pumpkin Pie (made from Haloween Pumpkin- I hate the pumpkin flesh to go to watse so I paint the face on and next day make pies!)

I had to cook the Stew outside on the burner on our grill because our stove blew up last night, scarred the holy beejeebers outta me! And so now tomorrow we are off to buy a new stove. I want a GE, I hate Magic Chef appliances, if I had not turned from the stove at the exact moment I did I would have been burnt by flames shooting from the burner. It actually burned a huge hole in the bottom of my Stainless Steel Dutch Oven that has the doule thick bottom! Happy Haloween Trick!!!
