Bisque ŕ l?Enfant
Honor the memory of Grandma with this dish by utilizing her good
silver soup tureen and her great grandchildren (crawfish, crab or
lobster will work just as well, however this dish is classically
made with crawfish).
Stuffed infant heads, stuffed crawfish heads, stuffed crab or lobster shells;
make patties if shell or head is not available
(such as with packaged crawfish, crab, or headless baby).
Flour
oil
onions
bell peppers
garlic salt, pepper, etc.
3 cups chicken stock
2 sticks butter
3 tablespoons oil
First stuff the heads, or make the patties (see index)
then fry or bake.

Make a roux with butter, oil and flour,
brown vegetables in the roux, then add chicken stock and
allow to simmer for 20 minutes.
Add the patties or stuffed heads, and some loose crawfish,
lobster, long piglet, or what have you.
Cook on low for 15 minutes, then allow it to set for at least
15 minutes more.
Serve over steamed rice; this dish is very impressive!

salt pepper, etc

Tomato gravy (see index)
Fresh or at least freshly cooked spaghetti or other pasta
Mix the ground meats together in a large bowl,
then mix each of the other ingredients.
Make ***** about the size of a baby?s fist
(there should be one lying around for reference).
Bake at 400°for about 25 minutes -
or you could fry them in olive oil.
Place the meatballs in the tomato gravy, and simmer for several hours.
Serve on spaghetti.
Accompany with green salad, garlic bread and red wine.
Newborn Parmesan
This classic Sicilian cuisine can easily be turned into Eggplant Parmesan
If you are planning a vegetarian meal. Or you could just as well use veal -
after all, you have to be careful - Sicilians are touchy about their young
family members...
6 newborn or veal cutlets
Tomato gravy (see index)
4 cups mozzarella, 1cup parmesan, 1cup romano
Seasoned bread crumbs mixed with
parmesan
romano
salt

Re: A4 tyres
this classic holiday feast.
Although time consuming, this dish seems to take longer than it actually does;
as the entire house is filled with such a heavenly aroma,
the waiting becomes almost unbearable.

1 batch cornbread stuffing (see index)
˝ cup melted butter
Remove the giblets from the infant and set aside.
Stuff the cavity where the child?s genitals and anus were located
using ˝ cup per pound of meat.
Tie the arms flat to the body, then pull the skin flaps up to close the cavity.
Now tie the thighs up tight to hold it all together.
Place breast side up in a large metal roasting pan.
Bake in 325° oven covered for 2 hours.
Remove cover, stick a cooking thermometer deep into one of the
baby?s buttocks and cook uncovered till thermometer reads 190°,
about another hour.
Pro-Choice Po-Boy
Soft-shelled crabs serve just as well in this classic southern delicacy.
The sandwich originated in New Orleans, where an abundance of abortion clinics
thrive and hot French bread is always available.
2 cleaned fetuses, head on
2 eggs
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 cup seasoned flour
oil enough for deep frying
1 loaf French bread
Lettuce
tomatoes
mayonnaise, etc.
Marinate the fetuses in the egg-mustard mixture.

Ah, fair enough. Over here it's what I think you refer to as a
"sidewalk"... the road surface being either tarmac ("black top" I
believe you call that) or concrete ("white top"?). And riding a
push-bike on the pavement is highly illegal...

Without taking the tyres off the rims I couldn't really say. I've spoken
to my local tyre fitter this morning though and they've said they keep
both profiles in stock, and they'll quite happily check once they've
taken the old tyre off the rim.
Is there an accurate way of measuring the rim width while the tyre is
still on, and the wheel still fitted to the car?

pulled out from the bottom of the road after stopping. The roads had
been gritted after that point, so no problem.

Ah, fair enough. Over here it's what I think you refer to as a
"sidewalk"... the road surface being either tarmac ("black top" I
believe you call that) or concrete ("white top"?). And riding a
push-bike on the pavement is highly illegal...

Without taking the tyres off the rims I couldn't really say. I've spoken
to my local tyre fitter this morning though and they've said they keep
both profiles in stock, and they'll quite happily check once they've
taken the old tyre off the rim.
Is there an accurate way of measuring the rim width while the tyre is
still on, and the wheel still fitted to the car?

Nope!
Even been down my road in snow as a passenger in a Mercedes C220 fitted
with Conti Sports. Only time the traction warning came on was when we
pulled out from the bottom of the road after stopping. The roads had
