I had been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from both my original cookbook which many of you have, and additional accumulated recipes that never got published. This isn’t the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. These recipes are comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Pinched Noodles (Csipetke)

1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1 Tbsp. oil

Mix flour and salt; add egg to make a stiff dough.  Sprinkle with a few drops of water if necessary.  Knead until smooth.  Let dough rest for at least 30 minutes, covered.  Then flatten it a bit at a time between your floured palms to 1/8 inch thick.  Pinch off pieces slightly smaller than a dime.  Drop into rapidly boiling salted water and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.  Drain and rinse; stir directly into soup or stew, if ready.  Otherwise, pour into a bowl, coat with oil and set aside until ready to use.

A German addition to soups and stews learned by my sister in Germany when she and her family lived there.
