Commander’s Palace cookbook?

[T.J. Clarke]

When I used to drink had fond memories of many Commanders Palace 25 cent martini lunches.

Yes the Commander's Palace CB. There is some good stuff in there.

Yep -- I've got it too.

So, did wife make the turtle soup?

[Gavin]

She did, and it turned out really well with beef instead of turtle. I did it with real snapping turtle for our family's Halloween Soup Party several years back, but and it was awesome. Unfortunately, half the folks at the party wouldn't even try it when I told them it had real turtle in it.

Leftover hot dog chili ...

(almost) homemade chicken noodle shoop. 

Rotisserie chicken dismembered and deboned. Back, wings and bones into the stock pot with the usual stuff. Strained and finished with a boost of chicken base, orzo, fresh usual stuff and a splash of heavy cream.

shoop

Why "shoop" ness? Well, a bunch of us used to go to this restaurant for lunch called Sweet Tomatoes. It was an upscale buffet with soups, salads, flatbreads, whatever. There was an older Eastern European lady that was the greeter and she always gave a rundown on the "shoops" being offered that day. So, that's why "shoop".

I thought we were friends until...

One day, as a joke, I reached over the glass and picked up a plastic display apple and put it on my tray. She scolded the heck out of me and told me *never* to reach over the glass or the health department would blitzkrieg in there and shut them down. 

So, I don't do that.
