CHICKEN CORN SOUP WITH BUTTER BALLS
1 3-pound chicken
1 cup diced celery
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Pinch of saffron
Fresh, grated corn, 6-8 ears
Salt and pepper to taste
Boil chicken in water to cover until tender.
Remove from broth and cut into small pieces.
Return to kettle.
Add celery, parsley, saffron, and salt and pepper.
Grate the corn and add to the stock.
Cook 3 minutes longer, add butter balls, cover and cook 5 minutes longer.
Serve at once.
To make butter balls:
2 tablespoons butter
Scant cup sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Milk to blend
Mix together to make paste, with floured fingers.
Add more butter if needed but too much will cause balls to crumble in the broth.
They should be size of small walnuts.
Chill in refrigerator.
Note from me:
“Scant” is about 2 tablespoons short of a full cup. The “Chill in refrigerator” instruction means down to refrigerator temperature.
As a side note, Colonel Sanders had, and has, a great deal to do with the size of chickens we can get today. The KFC chain is big enough that it can tell the chicken farmers what size chicken to slaughter. For most of their dishes, tasty though they are, KFC wants only 3 pound chickens.
I would not demean your post on 11/11/2024. You’re usually a good poster with interesting observations.
However, although this is usually a good place to enjoy each other without politics, I did reply this one time. Take it in the spirit of broadening knowledge that was intended.
I’m looking forward to enjoying many more years of Cleo and Company with all of the crew.
I’m hoping this lower picture was taken from farther back, and that there’s still a vibrant city as we get closer to the center.
Hard to tell perspective with that streetcar blocking the view, but I do get the feeling that the top one starts closer to the far end, and that if, in the bottom one, we were to walk or drive to a point, say, beyond that white structure on the right, we might see some stores or other signs of life.
At least I hope so, and that the city center hasn’t lost all its accessibility due to businesses moving into outlying shopping centers and abandoning downtown
There was an attempt to show the liftoff on an earlier mission. However, the camera was static and didn’t have the ability to track the lander as it left. Because of this, the visible liftoff lasted way less than a second. It seemed to be there, then almost suddenly, it was gone. If someone blinked at the wrong moment, they would have missed it.

Or at least an incredibly upset stomach.
Doctors no longer believe that eating sugar causes diabetes, except indirectly, by contributing to weight gain.
But 29 candy bars is usually about two pounds … which I’m sure would lay most people low.
Over what amount of time?
Or what size.
F. The slacker didn’t finish. As a lad I certainly could have. The repercussion I’d have suffered in those days, is being all out of candy.
This is why they tell you to wrap your specimens before freezing them…

No.
Yeah, I think so.
Isn’t that him….
I think so.
I found it quick. 🙂
Would you believe Batcat?
I think 8 of them. Plus 1 human.
Are you trying to tell me that sometimes what I see in a movie or a photo isn’t real??
Oh no!!
I’m convinced! Where can I get some?
contact your local pusher man
The old guy with the broom?
Thanks.

Drop it. I replied on yesterday’s.
Cleomigos!
Episode 7…. And we’re privileged to be back in a secret lair…
here at the hacienda, outside the puebla that will become the future Los Angeles.
Where Perro™ rides again…..
…
Well… ok, I speak too soon…. it’s not again, exactly… because he hasn’t really ridden yet… not where we can see it anyway…
and…um…. as a matter of fact, he isn’t …. well…. he’s in the saddle…. but I wouldn’t say he’s actually riding… yet.
If there were only one more panel…. he’d be riding.
I’m sure of it.
But he’s really really close, right?
…
Poor loyal Fernando… the faithful friend…. the patient patsy… will he ever learn?
Uh oh. You know, I think maybe he has learned, and he knows already.
He tries to discourage Perro™… and then you can see the panic in his eyes as awaits the whip.
…
But when you’re the trusted pal and confidante of the man who’s about to lead the uprising….
a man who will one day soon be very powerful….
who is skilled with the sword, and … well… almost-but-not-quite with the whip….
or at least, he HAS one, right there in his hand….
I mean…. what can you do?
…
Fernando is in a very special position.
I mean, besides being flat on his back on the floor.
yeah, ol’ Perro is pretty much a jerk
Our hero? Say it isn’t so!
Curtis street, Denver, 1926 and Present Day.
looks like it was more fun 100 years ago

Apollo 17 liftoff:
There was an attempt to show the liftoff on an earlier mission. However, the camera was static and didn’t have the ability to track the lander as it left. Because of this, the visible liftoff lasted way less than a second. It seemed to be there, then almost suddenly, it was gone. If someone blinked at the wrong moment, they would have missed it.
