More Good Stuff

Hi All,
Sorry we haven't had time to post more but we have been collecting your recipes for the Recipe Album that Kathryn from The Scrap Beach has been making. I will put this batch up and then the others later this week.

We also have a shipment of the Tim Holtz Fall Limited Edition inks in stock and more coming later in the week. Once these are gone...they are gone. So get what you want now! The Holiday Special Edition ink sets are due to ship out on Nov 1st. So keep checking the store and blog. Carol will post it in the News Letter as well.

The Holiday Projects are shaping up nicely. I have been brainstorming with Laura on a couple in particular and I think they are going to be AMAZING! Her ability to turn a mere thought into a reality just blows my mind. We are going to have lots of fun this fall and winter so get all your supplies organized and get ready to CREATE!
Kathryn's schedule will have to stay light and flexible until they know when they are moving. Once they get settle we will have her projects and schedule firmed up. We will keep you posted  on what she will be doing.

We have more recipes to post so you can fill up the Album for a gift . Check back ...there are a few more family favorites from our gang...

Back soon,
Toodles,

Here is a recipe that is a favorite of my family in the winter. I hope I wrote it so it makes sense.

Chicken and Dumpling

2 cups flour
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt1
5 Tablespoons real butter
1/2 cups milk
2 quarts chicken broth
1 chicken (about 3 lbs)
1 cup diced bell pepper
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced celery

Mix first 5 ingredients. Roll out to about 1/8 inch thick and cut into 1x3 inch strips. Dust with flour. Cover with waxed paper and let sit for about 2 hours.

Meanwhile, boil chicken in chicken broth or salted water, about 15 mins. with bell pepper, onion and celery. Remove chicken and let cool until it can be removed from the bone. Cut meat into bite sized pieces.

When dumplings are dry, uncover, flip over and dust with flour. Bring broth to a boil. Drop dumplings into boiling chicken broth and cook about 10 minutes. Flour from dumplings should thicken broth. Put the chicken back in the pot and salt and pepper to taste and serve with a loaf of garlic & cheese bread.
