Spätzle Is Austrian, no? 
We used to call that train the “Ice ice baby train” when I lived there in the early 90s. Probably rings hollow now.

We don’t call them that. They’re called Nockn, Spatzn, Spatzln or Knöpfle in the westernmost parts. Spätzle is a term that the Germans use.
As for the origins, well 
Kasnockn in their local varieties are a common dish in many regions that are associated with alpine cattle holding and cheese manufacturing.

I strongly associate Spätzle with Swabia. I have a couple of friends from the region and they all have their very own family recipes for Spätzle.

I know the feeling sometimes. 
Edit> Ok, quite often .
You bought my parents condo? 
Had a nice sail yesterday …was going to go with this on there yard arm…
…the ensign of the Soviet Navy…LOL
Anyway a good sail. At one point it looked like we were going faster than a DDG over by the Navy carrier piers.
I’m pretty sure it was an optical illusion.
After the sail, we raised the a different pennant.

Steirischer Herbst (still 20+°C though, which is 5-10°C too warm for Oktober).
Unfortunately my crappy smart phone cam doesn’t really do the color palette any justice.

Kai with a free kick…made Daddy proud with two goals in a 5-1 win… I love watching him play…(yeah…he had a thin fracture about 3 weeks ago…all healed up but keeping the cast on as protection until next week…)

I still can’t get over the fact I have been watching Kai grow since you first posted about his birth. The dormant Twitter account of yours still recounts those first heady days of this wonderful journey of yours.
If you haven’t seen it in awhile you might just look back on that journey once more.
Reading through those posts I can really feel the pride and sense of joy you were experiencing at that time, and it hasn’t stopped.
