[Sca-cooks] semi-topical: Good Friday dinner?

[Sue Clemenger]

My dinner tonight (as part of the Lenten dietary observance) was to have 
been salmon with wine sauce, rapes in potage (using parsnips), and 
Funges, using some dried morels I happen to have, plus ordinary grocery 
store mushrooms.
I am, however, too sick to do much of anything, having either come down 
with a very virulent cold, or else a good dose of influenza (we had an 
event last weekend, and a couple of the attendees turned out to be 
*really contagious*).  So I've been living on tea, and a batch of millet 
soup that a friend brought by--her lenten version, made without butter 
or milk, and using almond milk instead.  Very tasty. Kinda like a 
caudel, I suppose, only fairly thick.  Seemed appropriate, and I'm a fan 
of it anyways (lots of saffron....mmmmmm).
