Snapshots from Germany: Spätzle
I would appreciate seeing some recipes for the German features. Authentic German recipes are very tough to find!
Video: How to Preheat Your Pan
Interesting way to test. However, this approach is opposite of how Cook's Illustrated suggests to heat oil. They recommend putting oil in a cold pan, then heating up. I wonder who is right, or even if there is a right way.
Why I Hate 'Hell's Kitchen'
I hate how American television has portrayed Gordon Ramsey. While I understand he is an intense individual, I also know he cares a great deal about the culinary arts.
For example, take Restaurant Nightmares. The BBC version shows Gordon working with owners in a very compassionate manner. He looks to genuinely care about the people. Sure, he has raised his voice at the owners when they don't get it, but he certainly does not scream or berate them. Contrast the BBC version with the Fox version - Ramsey screams at the restaurant owners. I hate it. I love the BBC show, had to stop watching Fox.
OK - Ramsey has some involvement in this because he's letting Fox and Co 'script' him like that, but still.

It's really interesting that there is semolina flour in the batter. Will have to try that.
Since you mentioned your Oma... any chance she has a recipe for traditional potato dumplings like you get in Bavaria or the Hofbrauhaus?
