Tonight for Dinner...
Cracker Barrel The Homeade Chicken and Dumplings that Pansy made for dinner the other night.
Very good and very easy.
I amde a couple of changes. Of course I used whole wheat pastry flour instead of all-purpose for the dumplings. I cut the milk in half and when I released the dough onto my floured cutting board to roll out, I just used lots of flour and patted it down to 1/2 and inch thickness instead of rolling it out.
I also used boneless, skinless thighs for the chicken. Much easier to work with.

Why did you have to make dumplings when you've got a whole mess of them running around your ankles all day?

Oh ... yeah ... mmm mmmm ... those look like some mighty fine dumplins ... I bet them dumplins sop up gravy real nice! Man, nothin like soppin' up that good ol' country-style gravy!
One time, my pappy made some dumplins but, boy, them things just wudn't sop right! I said "these there biscuits ain't soppin OK ... I been soppin with these for 10 minutes and look at how little they sopped!"
It ain't unusal to hear somebody yellin:
"hey, how them bisuits soppin today ... or ... pass me some a them sop ... or stop soppin! ... or ... mind if I stop to sop? ... or ... sop til ya drop! "

I feel like I'm missing out on some staple food here. I've never ever had Chicken and Dumplings. I'll have to try this. :)
