I'm getting very nervous. March 29th is coming and I haven't planned an
"End of the World" dinner yet. Anyone have any suggestions?

A spoof about Andrew Chung's crossposted crap regarding the end of the world
coming on March 29th.

Okay, have a bowl of potato-leek soup in bread bowls and eat the bowls.

The soup:

2 large white potatoes, peeled and diced
2 large leeks, washed well and thinly sliced. Finely chop the green parts.
4 c. chicken broth or stock
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4-1/2 c. heavy cream (I use half & half most of the time)
dash grated nutmeg
1 Tbs. dried parsley for garnish (optional)

In a large pot, combine the potatoes, leeks, chicken broth and salt & pepper
(to taste, really). Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer
15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.Strain the soup into a
large mixing bowl or another pan. Blend the potatoes and leeks with about
1/4 broth until smooth (I use my stick blender for this now that I have
one). Return blended mixture to pan with remaining liquid. Stir in cream
and nutmeg and heat through. Spoon into prepared bread bowls. Sprinkle
with parsley to garnish. Serves 4

The bowls:

4 small round loaves of sourdough bread, unsliced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and mashed
4 Tbs. olive oil

Cut the tops from the round loaves about 3/4 inch thick to make 'lids'.Using
a sharp knife, cut around the inside of the loaf leaving a 3/4" shell for
the bowl to hollow out the center. (Saved removed bread to make croutons or
breadcrumbs, etc.) Rub the inside of the bowls and the lids with crushed
garlic and brush with olive oil. Bake on a baking sheet at 350F until
slightly toasted. Serve the soup in the bread bowls. Don't forget, you can
eat the bowl! (Place the "bread bowls" in a deep soup bowl or plate so it
doesn't get all sloppy.)

What, no recipe? I looked for veal the other day at the market but they
didn't have any. I adore veal scallopini. I've never used it to make soup,
though.

Dude. That's hardcore.

house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's
milk.

What a shame that all the leftover bacon grease would be wasted.

Bouillon rafraichissant?

1 & 3/4 lb. lean veal

4 & 1/2 cups water

pinch of salt

1 tbs. cucumber seeds

1 head of lettuce

2 - 3 sprigs chervil

Chop od cut into dice the meat and put into a pan with the water and
salt. Bring to boiling point and skim. Add the cucumber seeds and
simmer very gently for 45 minutes. Add the chopped lettuce and chervil
and continue to simmer a further 20 minutes.

Strain through cheese cloth or a fine sieve and remove as much fat as
possible.
-----------------

Serve as is with pieces of the veal or as the base for another soup. Of
course the "ossobucco' goes with out saying.

Using a veal knuckle or shin in the stock pot for the making of a meat
stock is a very good addition. It gives an extra dimension to the
flavor of the stock that is extraordinarily tasty and which i have
never been able to duplicate with any other ingredient.

*laugh* We're planning on sandwiches made with the heels of the
bread, lox ends and pieces, a bag of crushed potato chips -- Oh, wait,
you didn't say an End dinner.

James says pretty much you should eat what's leftover in your
refrigerator.

Plan B: Max out your credit card on a really good meal. ;-)

Plan C: Max out *Chung's* credit card on a really good meal!

That is what the french call it. Another word for it is "Sunchoke".
