Thank goodness I have readers who care! It’ll be chicken soup tonight.
by Charlie Leck
Fred, in Denver, read about my wrestling match with bronchitis. I think he found the blog because he thought it was about the Broncos (NFL football team in Denver). Then realized I was a goy suffering in Minnesota. He figured I needed a little Jewish wisdom, so he sent along a recipe for my my wife… “to get Charlie back…”
please follow these simple directions and charlie will return...From this it seems Fred is a nice guy, but he is actually not. Last week he wrote that he was convinced that Jasper, my dog, was actually Jewish and had no business being raised in a gentile home… He wanted to send Animal Rescue to the farm to save the animal and have him transferred to his home in Denver where a host of actually Jewish meals are always left out for the dogs to ‘free range’ through.
buy 1 whole chicken, 4 carrots, 4 pc celery, 1 onion and a little jar of "Better than Bouillon " chicken base... it's in the soup section near the crappy bouillon...
dice the onion, slice the carrots and celery and put everything in the pot (except the chic base) and poach on low, low simmer until the chicken and vegs are barely cooked... take out the chik, skim the refuse off the top, add dill, salt pepper and about 2 TS of chic base to taste...
cut up the chic and return to soup (except the breast, which will over cook and change from chicken to cork)...reheat the soup...
put into bowl with a piece of the breast, and put into charlie...
oh yah, say blessing, "blessed art thou oh lord, king of the universe, who keeps the price of chicken low."
if it takes longer than 90 minutes to make the soup, you're being too fussy...stop fussy...
and when you're cutting up the chicken, it helps if Jasper is watching to show you which pieces are meant for him...
making chicken soup as described will make you, Charlie and Jasper all feel better, and your kitchen smell great.... and it will seem like i'm visiting (without having to entertain me)...love to all, f
“Poor baby, what you need is a fat Jewish mama....” he wrote to Jasper last week. Fortunately, as bright as the dog is, he does not yet read and didn’t get all that information about the food, including Chicken soup, which is always left out for Fred’s dogs.
I’ve met Fred’s dogs and I will admit that they are really fed. I didn’t say “fed well” mind you! These are big, happy dogs that can only lumber along and Jasper would wonder why they don’t want to really put it into fifth gear and cruise.
