I'm doing some cooking today

With everyone talking about the price of eggs, I have to admit that it isn't hurting us as much as other folks.  We have perhaps four eggs between us for breakfasts in a week, and often not that many.  And since I don't have an oven, I can't make cookies, which normally is where most of my eggs go.  I do have a small chocolate cake recipe I make in a nine by nine cake pan, putting the pan in the electric skillet; so Cliff can have some cake once in awhile.  

I also found out I can make dump cake in the crock pot.   At least, I've found many recipes that say I can.  We'll see.  It's only been cooking for a little over an hour and a half, and it needs three or four hours to finish.  I imagine everybody knows what dump cake is.  There was a time in the past I made it often, simply because it's delicious with ice cream and it's easy to make.

Back to the subject of eggs.  It's been three or four weeks since I  bought the last dozen eggs that were in my refrigerator, and I thought maybe I'd better use them sooner rather than later.  There were three left, and since that's exactly how many eggs it takes for noodles, and we so love noodles, I decided that's how I would use them.

Normally I like to cook chicken legs or thighs, bone in and skin on, because the bone and skin are what give broth and noodles their great flavor.  After they are boiled, I remove the skin and bones and just the meat goes into the lovely broth.  Unfortunately, all I had in the freezer was skinless breasts (none of the fat I needed), but I also had some of that weak broth that comes in a carton to help the situation; I also tossed half a stick of butter in to compensate.  I was just getting ready to pour the chicken broth in the pan in and I was prepared to boil the breasts when I noticed something new: The box said "SPICY chicken broth".  I took a taste thinking maybe it would be all right, but it was really hot!  It would have been great in soup, but spicy noodles?  I don't think so.  I had half a quart of regular broth in the refrigerator and put it in.  It's still pretty spicy.  Here's hoping I'm not ruining my noodles.

Either way, I'm going to eat those noodles if it kills me!
