Beethoven's Soup (a Dream)

I dreamed that I had found an old soup recipe that Beethoven had invented. Being a perfectionist, he must have tweaked it until it was a culinary masterpiece. So, I got a huge souppot to make it in, as the recipe called for a lot of different ingredients and fairly large amounts of each: Different kinds of meat, both rice and potatoes, plenty of root vegetables and beans, as well as a long list of herbs and spices. It also got put through a blender just before serving (not that Beethoven had blenders, but it *was* supposed to pureed by some method or other).

After a great amount of work and time, I finished cooking it, and invited plenty of friends in to taste it. It was pretty good, we all agreed.

Then I went out to do some errands, ending up at a shopping mall. Supper time rolled around, and I thought I would eat at a restaurant at the the mall. Wouldn't you know, the restaurant I walked into was serving the same recipe! smiley - erm

I never manage to eat anything in a dream - at least I can never remember doing so, something always happens to prevent the food getting into my mouth, especially if the food looks really delicious.


oh and Beethoven would have used a mouli - or food mill to puree his soup.

Oh, and Beethoven is being played by Gary Oldman...

I'm trying to remember whether I put sausage or wiener schnitzel into the soup. There was definitely some good cheese which we grated and sprinkled into our soupbowls.

I have a recurring dream in which I'm swimming in a pool, but the water is very resistant to my strokes. When I wake up, I realize that I was probably trying to swim on my mattress. smiley - erm

Most of my ancestors were Freedonians in the years after the American Revolution. Eventually they realized that they were Americans, so they went with that. smiley - smiley
