Me, I made Chicken Paprikas. Delicious Hungarian dish (duh) with paprika (double duh), peppers, tomatoes, sour cream, and onions. Over egg noodles (I didn’t have any spaetzle, and I didn’t feel up to making Hungarian dumplings (basically the same thing, only homemade). It was delicious, and I now have leftovers for at least two meals! So, what did _you_ have for dinner? ---
