Chile tolerance varies - what I consider moderate some think extreme. Last
picnic at Dale and Gail's he was making a beef dish (I think it was Cajun - but
my memory is a bit fuzzy on that) which he said he gotten too hot. Other Dave,
Glen, Michael and I all asked "Where's the heat?"

I don't (and never did) care for orange juice. It leaves a cloying sweetness in
my mouth that hangs about for hours. I really prefer unsweetened grapefruit
juice as an eye-opener. Fortunately St. Google and Web MD and the
pharmaceutical companies web sites tell me that grapefruit juice won't affect
the medications which I take (Amaryl and Zestril - the generics for them
anyway).

You will have noted that the recipe said "Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchen" at the
bottom - meaning only that it something that I have made. I like giblets - but,
I have some friends who don't. So, when they buy whole chickens they bung the
giblet package into the freezer to save for me. And once in a while I will make
up a pot of the soup. I also make soups from chicken backs, etc. And chicken &
noodles from leg quarters I get on sale across the street - usually for less
than U$7 per 10# bag.

Chicken is *very* versatile.   Bv)=

      Title: Dirty Dave's Old Fashion Chicken & Noodles
 Categories: Poultry, Pasta, Vegetables, Herbs
      Yield: 5 Servings

    500 g  (17.6 oz) Swabian Spaetzle *
     28 oz (2 cans) chicken broth
      2    Chicken leg quarters; cooked
           - meat removed from bone and
           - shredded
    1/8 ts Ground sage
      1 ts Celery seed
    1/4 ts (to 1/2 ts) "Italian" herb
           - seasoning
 10 3/4 oz Can cream of chicken soup
  1 1/2 c  Left over chicken gravy
           +=OR=+
     12 oz Jar Heinz chicken gravy

  * Deutsche Kuche found at ALDI. These are as good as I
  can make from scratch on a good day. And not expensive.

  In a large pan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add the
  noodles. Stir. Let it come back to a boil, turn down to a
  medium heat, stirring often. While cooking add chicken and
  spices. Cook noodles until tender, if it becomes dry add
  small amount of water until noodles are tender.

  Mix together chicken soup and gravy. Add to the noodle
  mixture and stir continuously. When they are no longer
  watery, remove from heat. The noodles will be thick,
  creamy and chewy. Similar to dumplings.

  Serves 4-6 with side dishes.
