Don't trust online recipe converters

Converting a recipe from 8 serving to 4 servings should in theory be easy. It worked well until I got ready to make the dough. Instead of asking for 1 cup of chicken stock, my printout said the original 2 cups. Sigh. I wish I had double checked that before. Anyway, the dumplings in the chicken and dumplings were still good, if a bit sticky. Too much dough (used way more than the called for flour) and enough water for 4 servings does not make for a good broth. Oh well. Live and learn. 

I'm going to take another crack at the Chicken and Dumpling recipe Friday. Not for myself, this time for my grandmother, so I have to get it right! I hope my grandmother can tolerate 8 days worth of chicken and dumplings. 

I love my Mac

My reliable Sony Vaio died a slow and painful death earlier this year. RIP.
My IBM Thinkpad crapped out of me more times than I can remember mid-program.
I loathe the Windows blue screen.
I don't particularly care for Dells.
I tolerated Microsoft for sometime until I could no longer take the ever-present bugs.
I heard bad reviews of Windows Vista.
I decided to jump ship and join the Mac Brigade.
I don't regret that decision in the slightest.

Does your cat drool?

Before I got my current cat, I had never known a cat to drool. But now, every time my furball is happy to see me after a significant period of separation, the floodgates open and I feel the steady stream of drool running down my back, arm, or neck. My cat's antics surprise me daily, I'm sure today will be no different.
