~ McGregor School Board trustees gave approval at their last meeting before the holidays on Dec. 16, to Su-perintendent Kevin Houchin to enter into contract nego-tiations with Gaeke Construc-tion for the junior high gym renovation project.

~ The McGregor Po-lice Department is putting to good use a $100,000 technol-ogy grant they recently were awarded through the Depart-ment of Justice.

Cover chicken with wa-ter and bring to a boil in a large Dutch oven. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and next 3 in-gredients; cover, reduce heat and simmer 1 hour. Remove chicken, reserving broth in Dutch oven; cool chicken. Skim fat from broth; bring broth to a simmer. Skin, bone and coarsely chop chicken. Add chicken, bouillon and re-maining salt and black pepper to broth. Return to simmer.

Combine flour and poul-try seasoning in a bowl. Cut in shortening and bacon drip-pings with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Add milk, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out to 1/8-inch thickness; cut into 1-inch pieces.

Bring broth mixture to a boil. Drop dumplings, a few at a time, into broth, stirring gently. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring often, for 25 minutes. Serves 8.

A few tips for making this dish perfect every time includes: Boil the chicken the night before and refrigerate the broth. All the fat will col-lect on the surface, making it easier to remove; break short-ening into small pieces, and use solidified bacon drippings. They’ll cut into the flour more evenly; and as soon as you have a moist ball of dough, resist the urge to keep work-ing it. The more you work the dough the tougher the dump-lings will be.
