This is being spammed all over the place (well, with the newsgroup changed
as appropriate). Its got nothing to do with Supernews. It seems to have
something to do with sci.crypt - so if you do post a recipe please be
careful as to the newsgroup line. Just hitting 'reply' will send your post
off to sci.crypt rather than RPCA.

In other words, other newsgroups will have threads whose replies are
redirected to RPCA? I envision a bunch of plonked threads, if that's
the case.

Thanks for the head's up.

This the season for Vichyssoise - a chilled potato and leek soup which
originated in the U.S. in 1917 but has a french name because the chef who
created it was born in Vichy, France (or so the legend goes).

Actually, I prefer my potato-leek soup (and prefer it hot, regardless of the
outside temp) so you're going to get that recipe instead Call it
Vichyssoise if you serve it cold; call it potato-leek soup if you serve it
hot. (My original recipe calls for serving it hot in toasted sourdough
bread bowls.)

2 large white potatoes, peeled and diced
2 large leeks, washed well and thinly sliced. Finely chop the green parts.
4 c. chicken broth or stock
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4-1/2 c. heavy cream (I use half & half most of the time)
dash grated nutmeg
1 Tbs. dried parsley for garnish (optional)

In a large pot, combine the potatoes, leeks, chicken broth and salt & pepper
(to taste, really). Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer
15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Strain the soup into a
large mixing bowl or another pan. Blend the potatoes and leeks with about
1/4 broth until smooth (I use my stick blender for this). Return blended
mixture to pan with remaining liquid. Stir in cream and nutmeg and heat
through. Spoon into prepared bread bowls. Sprinkle with parsley to
garnish. Serves 4

I think you'd have to be a *very* ambitious masochist to compete on that
show. ;-) Your soup sounds delicious! I've never been able to get my mind
around the idea of cold soup, so I'd definitely want it hot.

It's mushroom season, and this is a good year for forest mushrooms. The
shops are full of chanterelles, especially. Mmmm! This is is a very
simple dish I made the other day:

Zucchini au gratin

1 large zucchini/marrow (make sure it's fresh - it has to be hard as a
rock - or it will taste bitter)
½ litre chanterelles
olive oil
1 large onion
salt, pepper
Parmesan or other strong cheese

Trim the ends off the zucchini/marrow and cut it in half lengthwise.
With a spoon, scoop out the innards and chop the pulp. Sprinkle with
salt and set aside. Sprinkle some salt on the halves and set aside to
'weep'.

Chop the chanterelles roughly. Put them in a dry, hot frying pan. Let
them cook in their own juices until the pan is almost dry, then add the
chopped zucchini pulp and cook until the pan is almost dry again. Add
oil and the chopped onion. Cook until the onion is soft. Add salt and
pepper.

While the filling is cooking, pre-bake the zucchini halves for 5 minutes
in the oven at 200 C. Take them out, scoop the filling into the halves,
sprinkle cheese on top, and gratinate for 15 minutes or until the cheese
has melted. Serve with new potatoes and a salad.

When I make this in the winter, I have to use factory-grown mushrooms,
and to spice it up, I add some chili powder to the filling. But these
fresh chanterelles are so mild in taste, I don't want to spoil them with
too many spices.

You are *definitely* not the only one. Remember, pre-computer days, when
summer break meant you went outside and *did* something? If it's hot
outside, maybe swim in the neighbor's pool? If no pool available, run
through a sprinkler or simply douse your friends with water filled balloons!
As a teenager, I'd go to a movie matinee with a girlfriend and eat popcorn
and jujubees. Then we'd walk around the shopping mall, trying on some new
clothes. Maybe play some pinball or fooseball or video games at the arcade.
Buy some cheap slices of cardboard pizza and a big fat pretzel, or some
chocolates at the candy store. I also took great pleasure in simply kicking
back and reading a book that wasn't on an assigned reading list (I still
do.) Disrupting newsgroups wasn't on my list of "things to do this summer".
