> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > Not quite the same, but maybe that’s what I’ll call it. Yeah, that recipe has you pouring stock over the whole thing before you cook it, but when I make chicken and dumplings, I don’t do that. It sounds like the only thing you did different than me with my chicken and dumplings is I put in spoons of batter on top instead of pouring the whole thing over it. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > That’s what I did. Only, there was a lot of batter. There can never be too much batter for chicken and dumplings. That’s the best part! 🙂 (When I do chicken and dumplings with Bisquick drop biscuits and spoon it over, I get something like 3-inch tall dumplings.) ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > The SO has something against lard. (I once wanted to use lard to make refried beans, and she wouldn’t hear of it. It was OK for me to use bacon grease though. 😛 ) It will have to be Crisco. I sincerely wish no disrespect or to promulgate discord in any way, but you must retain a big time, big-nosed (…”big nose” is not a bigoted remark; some of my best friends have big noses, including my dog) divorce attorney ASAP. If your spouse declares, no lard!; you must reply, no marriage! …You might want to get a second opinion about all this, of course.
