What Is It? Second Course: Soup

Julie — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 21:19:32 +0000

We had a bit of a pause in our dinner routine. Damned indigestion will get you every time. Now we have an industrial-sized bottle of Zantac and are ready to continue with the feast!

Today, the soup:

Behold the creamed flecks of something grandpa coughed up last week, topped off with a lovely alien lifeform.

So what do YOU think it is? Remember, we’re not looking for a literal interpretation; rather we’d like you to consider the potential of the dish.

What Is It? First Course: Appetizer

We start our seven course extravaganza with a representation of the zodiac in seafood. We take heart in knowing the chef chose not to replicate the Mayan calendar, in which case we would all be doomed.

While our chefs prepare a sumptuous seven course meal for your pleasure, allow us to tease your palate with this dish:

It appears someone baked up the torso of a beloved food mascot and served him up as part of a starchy feast.

That little flash of pink next to last week’s dunce salad?

Why, it’s the pink peach boobie of delight! Now we know why the salad got into trouble.

I admit it: I love Dr Pepper. I even have a pair of glass bricks from the old Dallas plant on a shelf in my kitchen.

Now, what appears to be the earliest recipe for the concoction has been found in an antique ledger book. One of the ingredients: Mandrake root. No prune juice, though.

If it’s Wednesday, then it must be time for another helping of unidentifiable food.

This week’s folly:

This is what happens when the salad course gets put into time out.

Our previous abomination was called Peach Temptation. I was sure tempted to do something with it…

So, what do you think this is? Next week, watch for more of the mysterious pink blob you see in the corner. Betcha can’t wait.

Continuing with our theme of sci-fi food: Gagh!

Remember, it is best eaten while living!

Enjoy with a serving of Spock’s Brain.

Your eyes weren’t fooling you last week: Those were little bunny-shaped dishes. But don’t turn your back on them. They’re killer bunny-shaped dishes!

Spring is in the air, Easter is around the corner, and the Zombie Bunnies are on the march!

“Eeeeeegggggzzzzzz!”

As for last weeks mess, I never did figure out what it was supposed to be, other than it apparently contained that most unfortunately-named of ingredients: Aspic.

We’re a day late, but pretend it’s Wednesday, okay?

I’m not sure what’s worse here: The creepy clown cracker or the alien life form perched on a doily. Whatever it is, it is clearly withink the clown’s hypnotic thrall.

Last week’s food product was called a tomato rose.
