Abigail and Brett got married! It was a beautiful, fun wedding and I wish them both much safety and happiness. I got to hang out with Hung and Doug and a bunch of other people I rarely see. Weddings are great for hanging out with old friends.
So in my last post I'm shown serving an entire cornish hen to Thomas and another entire one to myself. The portion size for the recipe was, as you could imagine, a bit large. I don't like wasting leftovers, so I thought I should try my hand at chicken and dumplings. I have a few great cookbooks full of southern style home cooked menus, just to mention one, Pattie Labelle's Cooking Light :), but none had a recipe for cooking chicken and dumplings when the chicken was already cooked. I finally found a recipe on recipezaar.com. The recipe was pretty good, although a little different from other chicken and dumplings I've had because the cloves were so strong. All in all it was pretty easy and satisfying.

Hey Katie, I found your Blog! The recipes look great, but I am skeptical about finding some of the ingredients up here. I'll have to give it a try, though
