Make noodles? When Janet gets inspired we get some good homemade noodles around here.
Memories !!! my grandmother would roll out a huge circle of dough....place it on flour sack dish towels on top of her bed to let it dry a bit......bring it back in the kitchen, roll it up like a jelly roll and slice it with a knife. I got to help unwind the spirals....
and...my sister and I would often sneak in her bedroom to pinch off little pieces of the dough to eat raw....
Yes, you could put whatever flavorings you want in the spaetzle depending on what else you're having with it. If you don't have a spaetzle maker I've heard of people pushing the dough through a colander. The larger the holes in it the better. Might need to make the dough a little bit thinner though.
If you don't have the makings for soup you could always boil the carcass and just freeze the broth to use later. I usually have ziplock bags of stock or leftover drippings or small bits of gravy in the freezer. They come in handy for making soup or stretching gravies. Actually, I keep a bag of veggie trimmings in the freezer that I keep adding to and then throw it all in a pot with some water for more bags of stock.

Yep, Mike's grandmother would make the noodles and sprinkle them on a clean sheet on the bed to dry. It's a lot of work to roll them yourself though! Only did that once, then an aunt got me a noodle maker - wow, SO much easier. I've used it to make pierogis and ravioli too. Yummy!
yeah was thinking later I should have done that, but was so exhausted that night, and it would have taken some doin to get it in the fridge or freezer til I could have boiled it. By next year we'll have my freezer over here, it's small but an upright deep freeze. So next year that's in the works.
Jup.... a kitchen aid stand mixer (with many attachments) has been on my wishlist for many years. One of these days!
and turkey
Besides da carrots, will also add sum celery, onions, green peas and pan roasted corn, to excuse da starches. Taters will have to sit dis 'un out (ouch). Dumplings will be from scratch; no pop 'n go dis time 'round.
Will concoct tomorrow. Too late dis evening, tummy growlin'!
BTW, as fer a spaetzle maker, da ol' multi tater graters will do! Not as efficient as a real one, but...
I'm so intrigued wid da stream/creek, ponds and lakes!

I hear ya about the medical procedures. 1st wife gets iron infusion, 2nd me physical with PCP, 4th Hemotologist me, 7th see about new sockets for legs, 10th physical with VA PCP. Her tests looked good no bleeding they could find no C so they are going to give her iron.

From your description, looks like they are way overdue for resocketing. I am sure you will be happy with the results.

Jup. PBS is local programming. So not the same everywhere. Celtic woman was on in Buffalo around 5pm.
Crap, our PBS is transmitted via USF (Univ So Fla) locally. Sorry if it's not available elsewhere.
Regardless, if ya must, Google it! So totally awesome, wholesome and entertaining...
ETA: OK, just found out this is a local 'fund drive' for PBS donations. Nonetheless, catch it when ya can!
