And the verdict was...

Maybe too much sage in the chicken and dumplings, but that was my fault. It is easy to ADD spices, and difficult to do that substracting thingy, once it has been dumped in. Dick said my dumplings tasted more like stuffing than dumplings, so I'll make this again and adjust accordingly. It was really GOOD and "easy peasy," just like Bee said, so I served them with a side of green peas. It was the right thing to do.

And this is what I made for my sister-in-law, recycling some pearls from a broken necklace that belonged to my Mother. My brother isn't doing well, and since I can't be there to help out, I figured I would make Barbara something special to brighten her up.

And I wish Judy and Jerry a very happy anniversary today. They are mighty good folks.

Count your blessings, y'all! Life is good...especially when you have good health, so take good care of that body. Such as it is, it's the only one we've got! Happy Sunday!!!
