Spaetzle by John Spottiswood

This is a simple and delicious recipe for Spaetzle. My friend Helmut normally does not add oil to his Spaetzle, but we did last night because it said to on the recipe on our Spaetzle maker. I think it helped make the dough slightly easier to work with and less sticky. Feel free to do without if you prefer.

Molasses Cookies by Glenn

A modernized version of my grandmother's (Eva M. Koehler) molasses cookies--without the pearl ash. One of the great cookie treats of all time.
