MOM'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS (BOTT BOI)
When I was a child my Mother made "Chicken and Dumplings" that were out of this world. They approached Paradise. After I was grown and took up cooking I tried in vain to find "her" recipe. I never developed a taste for drop dumplings.A few months ago I was watching an regional home cooking show on the TV, suddenly there was "Mom's Chicken and Dumplings" on a program about Pennsylvania Dutch cooking. How Mom came by it originally is one of life's mysteries. This is so good, chickens volunteer for the privilege of being part of it.
