Tobi Cooks Schnitzel and Spaetzle

Tobi has been wanting to cook dinner for us ever since he arrived.  We went to the grocery store together and purchased all of the items we needed, and he walked me through how to make schnitzel and spaetzle.  We have never had this meal before, so we were all very anxious to try Tobi's favorite food to eat in Germany. 

When he arrived, he gave us all gifts.  My gift was a spaetzle maker, and this was my chance to learn how to use it! This picture shows Tobi making the spaetzle with the gift from his mother.  It's a pancake-type batter that needs to be poured onto a slotted tool (kind of like a cheese grater).  The batter drops into a boiling pot of water and makes small dumplings.
