Homemade Dumplings

Homemade Dumplings Now watch this she would say my mother taught me this And her mother taught her you might not get another chance Everythings in the book I did change the pallbearers for you Recently made it easier for you thanks mom that’s really kind Of you was it 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 mom? Flour to eggs I gotta keep it Simple in my head you know I gotta look at that book one day Where did you say you kept it again? 04.03.10 11:30pm

Reminds me of my mama's noodle recipe. It was a cup of eggs, a tablespoon of water and enough flour to make a stiff dough. I think. Nice mmory p[oem. Joyce

Yes, sometimes things that should have been written down went down to the grave...Things that could have been tape recorded typed out in just a matter of minutes ends at death...Keep the creative pen flowing...I hope that you have not had a recent death...Sara

EXACTLY what goes through my mind when I try to recreate my mother's apple pie, Jim. Put the recipe book aside and go out and enjoy your Easter! Love, Carolyn
