Two Guys From Italy

Jägerschnitzel mit späetzel

When I got home tonight I was all prepared to make chicken and dumplings.  From scratch.  Mostly, anyway.  I was going to use the rest of the left over chicken.  Seriously, that thing was huge!

But when I got home my son said he felt like having schnitzel and besides we hadn't had time to celebrate our latest Tae Kwon Do testing and mom you look really tired, don't cook and wouldn't it be more fun to go out?

So he twisted my arm.  Not that much, though.  I really was tired.  So we went to a place called Two Guys from Italy.  Which is owned by German lady.  There are no Italians of any gender at the restaurant.  And half the menu is German.  But the German food is so good!  The Italian isn't too bad, either.

My son had the Jägerschnitzel with Spätzel.  No I'm not pronouncing it for you.  I can, I'm just not going to.  It's a pork cutlet smothered in an amazing tangy mushroom sauce.  With spaetzel.  It's the noodle looking side dish.

Chicken Ravioli

I decided to try a pasta dish this time instead of always ordering from the German menu.  I was feeling adventurous.  I ordered chicken ravioli in an arrabiatta sauce.  That may be spelled wrong.  I tried an Italian spell checker but the results were inconclusive.  It told me I could spell it three different ways.  Now I'm just confused.  And annoyed.  Like I was with the sauce.  There was just way too much.  It was good but too much.


In the future I'll stick with the German menu.  And no, I don't have the recipes.
