You can push the dough through a colander, and I think that's what "real" chefs do. I think the spaetzle-maker is sort of a novelty item. But you do need one to make spaghettieis. That is a bummer that your district doesn't offer more languages! However, what Lena has is called "Exploratory" and it is six weeks each of a variety of different subjects. I think next week she starts French for 6 weeks, and then art, shop, etc. So it's not like she's learning a whole lot of German.

I suppose that freezing it just before using it with ice cream would help. That is so cool that Lena is taking German -- I think the only foreign language offered in my district at the middle school level is Spanish; would be nice to have more options.

A tweet just reminded me about the book _The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down_, by Anne Fadiman. If you haven't read it already, you really must. It blew me away. Creative non-fiction!
