"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Directions:
To make chicken:

Bring water to boil. Drop in chicken and cook until done. Take out the chicken, remove bones and skin, and set aside.

To make dumplings:

Mix flour and egg really well and add just enough water until it holds together. The stiffer the dough, the better the dumplings. Roll out as thick as you like. Cut into the size you like. Bring the chicken broth from step one above back to a boil, and drop in dumplings. Cook until done. Add back chicken.
