Peter was riding over to the next town to pick up a couple of things yesterday afternoon when his bike’s chain broke and he went over the handlebars and came down in a friendly hedge. (“Friendly” only because it broke his fall and there were no nettles in it.) <\/p>\n

He’s okay, thank heaven.  (“Shaken but not stirred,” he said when calling in.)  His injuries from that passage at arms were fortunately minor — though the spot where the point of his bike seat caught him just behind, uh, a region of vital interest to males generally, is apparently pretty sore.<\/p>\n

You should see his poor fingers, though, from where he hit himself with the hammer while fixing the bike chain on his return home. Ooooooooh<\/em> boy.  Peter will not be typing today, I think. Or maybe tomorrow.  Meanwhile, I think I get to make him chicken soup on general principles. <\/p>\n

However, I’m out of matzoh meal for the requisite M-balls. Now I’m idly wondering whether it’s possible to produce a slightly similar effect with semolina, as I seem to have a lot of that on hand for some reason. The Austrians, after all, do a griessknoedel <\/a><\/em>or soup dumpling based on semolina. Hmmm….<\/p>\n

(OMG, look at all the links to dumpling recipes on this page<\/a>. NOM NOM NOM!)<\/p>\n
