Boil a bunch of potatoes.  Squish them through one of those gadgets
 with holes in it.  [A ricer -- Ken]
 Add flour to the potatoes (add more rather than less, too much
 potato and the dumplings get too heavy).  Add 1 or 2 eggs.  Add
 some salt.  Knead the dough a bit and roll it into a long roll
 about 2 inches thick.
 Wash some cherries.  Cut the roll into a bunch of 1 1/2 inch to 2
 inch pieces.  Put a cherry in each piece and form into a ball.
 Put the Cherry dumplings into boiling water and wait until they
 rise to the top.
 Brown some butter (1/4 - 1/2 lb ?).  Get some sugar.  Put some
 dumplings on your plate.  Cut them in half or quarters with a fork.
 Take the cherry pit out.  Sprinkle some sugar on the dumplings,
 then pour hot browned butter over the dumpling. The cherries should
 have nice red juice coming out of them.The dough should be light
 and springy.  If you eat about 13 of these, you should feel satisfied.
 For 4 people make 13 x 4 = 52 dumplings.
 You can also use plums but I like the Cherry ones better because
 they are juicier.
