  2. This is a decoy group. We've been trying to explain that to all these
    folks blabbering about cooking this, and cooking that, but they still
    keep posting here. They just don't get it.

    Come back when you have a news reader with a kill file. Those of us
    who have kill files see what we want and ignore the rest. I'm even
    killing threads that aren't offensive, just not of interest to me.

    Hi, Jim --
    It is and it gets distracted by other [censored] entirely too much. Mostly
    you have to ignore the bozos who come back at you with a smartass reply
    (unless you're acquainted, in which case you give as good as you get).

    You want to cook? Good. Steve Wertz mentioned Chicken Paprikash. Have
    you ever made it? Here's the recipe I'll mostly use for tonight's
    supper:

    Chicken Paprikas - Eva Kende's recipe

    Recipe By: posted to rfcooking by Barb Schaller 4-6-06
    Serving Size: 4
    Preparation Time: 0:00
    Categories: Entrees

    Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method
    1 lg cooking onion finely diced
    1 yellow sweet pepper
    - chopped (optional)
    1 tb shortening or cooking oil
    1 frying chicken cut up
    2 ts paprika Hungarian sweet
    1 pinch cayenne or red pepper
    - (optional)
    1/2 t salt (to taste)
    Sourcream optional

    Tiny Hungarian Dumplings ---Nokkedli

    2 lg eggs
    1 c water
    1 1/2 c flour, all purpose, unsifted
    1/2 ts salt
    Heat oil or shortening, add onion and pepper and saute on medium heat
    until the onions are transparent. Make sure the heat is high enough
    that the onions are gently frying and not steaming in their own juice.

    Remove the pot from the stove, add paprika, mix well. Add the chicken
    and salt. Coat the chicken thoroughly with the onion-paprika mixture.
    Add 1/4 c of water or broth and check frequently to make sure it's not
    burning. Simmer covered until the chicken is tender.
    Add sourcream just before serving or let each person add it at the
    table if they wish. (Don't let the sourcream come to a boil or it will
    curdle). Serve with Tiny Hungarian Dumplings.

    You can use cut up parts instead of whole chicken, but using white
    meat only produces a rather insipid dish. I often make it from thighs
    only.

    For Nokkedli:
    Prepare large pot of rapidly boiling water, making sure that the water
    is no more than 2 inches from the lip of the pot.

    Place flour in large mixing bowl, make a well add the other
    ingredients and stir using a wooden spoon until mixed. (Do not "work
    the dough"😉.

    The easiest way is to use a spaetzle maker. Looks like a grater with
    dime size holes and a hopper on top, available in many kitchen shops.
    Place this device on top of the pot with the boiling water. Fill the
    hopper with dough and slide it back and forth as fast as you can. The
    faster you do it the smaller, the dumplings. The dough should be thick
    enough to offer resistance, but "grate" easily. When all the dumplings
    are floating (about 2minutes), pour into a colander, drain and serve.

    Alternatives to using a spaetzle maker:
    1.Place dough on a small cutting board and using a knife to cut bean
    size pieces of dough into the boiling water.

    2. Use a collander with large holes, a chestnut roaster with holes or
    a coarse grater and mush dough through with a wooden spoon.

    Thinking of Paprikash always makes me reply "When Harry Met Sally"

    Nope, your mistake. The whole purpose of this newsgroup is a ruse to
    lure unsuspecting webtv subscribers to post here. Once you make a post,
    our secret spy software can enter your webtv account and steal your
    personal info.

    After we clean out your bank accounts, max out your credit cards, sell
    your house and cars out from under you, sell your children into slavery
    and steal your wife for [censored], you'll be cast out into the street
    penniless and without a shirt on your back.

    Bet you're sorry you posted now, aren't you?

    And if this *was* a cooking newsgroup, where's *your* recipe?

    This is one of the biggest reasons I hang out here: Inspiration

    Often I'll read a post, go "Hrmmm..." and be in the kitchen
    cooking a couple minutes later. Note that I don't follow specific
    recipes or recommendations, but they give me similar ideas.

    Like just now, Jay's recent monkfish (mahi-mahi) meatball post...
    gave me ideas, but I'd never follow that recipe exactly.

    I served mine with potato spaetzle. It was supposed to be gnocci,
    but the potatoes I used were too moist to make a dough, so I added
    some more flour and squeezed it out into spaetzle, then fried
    lightly in butter with a little more paprika - really brings out
    the paprika flavor.

    Today I baked 3 medium-large (more large than medium) potatoes & 3 medium
    beets convection 350 for 1 hour 15 minutes. Beets weren't done at 1 hour 30
    minutes. The potatoes were too moist.
    Wonder if the beets cooking at the same time made the potatoes too moist.
    One thing I found out was that beets not cooked until done do not have the
    earthy taste (at least these didn't). They were almost tasteless.
