Sounds good!  How are you making the dumplings?  I have only a
bit of practice with that.  Mostly along 'potsticker' lines.  My
few tries fell apart.  (grin).

Grandma called them dumplings, but they are more like homemade
pasta.  A  few cups of AP flour in a kettle with salt, crack in a
few eggs, mix in  milk to form a thick batter consistency.  I hold
the handle of the quart  kettle, and "nip" off "dumplings" into the
simmering soup shortly before  it's served.  When they float,
they're ready.

 I've heard that name a lot.  Southern isn't it?  Or is it also real
common up north?

My maternal grandmother added drop dumplings to her beef stew.  She was born in Scotland and after the emigrated, wound up living in the mid-West (Ohio).  Hardly what I'd call "southern".
