Fail and success

[jethrien]

Had not one, but three nightmares last night--one in which I was taking a test and discovered that the second page was already filled in in someone else's handwriting but the substitute teacher refused to talk to me about what to do until it was too late to finish the test, one involving horribly complicated deathtraps in a flooded room full of pipes, and one in which my father died in a plane crash and I was trying to comfort my mother at the funeral but just ended up on kneeling on the floor wailing. Good times.

But I taught myself how to make spaetzle today. It's kind of between a crepe and an egg noodle, tastewise. Success!

I had a dream that my apartment caught fire and I was trying to rescue all of my photo albums.

It appears that any people had nightmares last night. Either it's turkey hangover or Doctor Destiny is messing with us and it's up to Batman to stop him.

Or it's too much time in too close proximity to family...

Oh, spaetzle is tasty stuff, though I don't eat it often because it can be a bit hit or miss and there are Swiss standbys I like better. What did you eat it with?

She fried it in butter and herbs as a side dish to the beef stew I made today. I think the frying in butter contributed to the "crepe" taste.

Sounds tasty!

I sauteed it in butter and herbs and served it with beef stew.

A thought for you: caramelized Vidalia onion spaetzel. with cheese. Possibly my favorite thing at Atlanta's Five Seasons Brewery.

Are the onions in the spaetzle, or just on the spaetzle?

Among the spaetzle. It's almost like a form of fancy mac & cheese, but not quite as dense.
