Have you ever had a recipe fail? Who hasn't, right? Well we had a snow day and I was in the mood to make a big 'ol pot of soup. Chicken noodle to be exact. But then. ..I thought I'd get a little creative. We'd been to a German restaurant recently and I thought, "why not add some spaetzle to the soup?" Have I ever made spaetzle? No. Did I know what I was doing? No! But the fun is in the trying.
Now, I could do the smart thing and search online for a recipe or, heaven forbid, pull out my german cookbook. You know, the one I bought for $2 at a library sale but have only looked at once? Seriously, I need to find that bad boy and get busy on some good german recipes. ..
However, I did have a vague knowledge of how to make spaetzle based on previous research from way back when. So I threw some ingredients together and mixed it all up, then pressed it through my colander to make those tiny little dumplings over the boiling soup.
My first mistake? Not following a recipe. My second mistake? Not following a recipe! ! Actually it wasn't bad. Not as dense as it should be but not bad. Next time? I'll find that german cookbook.
