Chicken and dumplings - recipe said it'd take an hour. Took me two hours, and then half an hour to clean-up (I'm getting better at cutting a whole chicken). Totally worth it (such a comfort food!)

Some changes I'll make next time: FAR less dumplings, and roll them out thinner. I could probably use about half the ingredients for the dumplings and still be alright. Also, far more vegetables. I threw in only a quarter of an onion and one celery stalk and carrot. More onions (full will work), and probably double the carrots and celery.

And I need to watch the chicken too - it was slightly overcooked. I brought it to boil and simmered it for 40 minutes - I could probably get away with simmering it for about 30 minutes.
