My Dinner Failed!!!

[Esther]

I followed a lady at works recipe for chicken in dumplings that was a flop. The only dish I think I have ever cooked and tossed.

I knew how to make dumplings, but I wanted to know how they made the dumplings flat as mine are puffy. So she said I can tell you how to do that my father is a baker.

Ok, she said you will need x amount of flour, milk, and an egg. Be sure and flour your noodles. I said noodles? Yes, noodles. What size noodles? Any size you want. Why do you four them? So they won't stick. Ok, so I go to store and buy the largest noodles they have.

I cook by chicken and add the ingredients and flour the noodles. Goop that is what I had.

My husband came in and said what it that? I said chicken in dumplings. Since we were newly married we tried it and tosse it.

I told her the next day at work that her dumplings were awful. After much discussion we determined her "noodles" were not really noodles but the dumplings.
