    Title: Diaper Dump Porridge^
    Categories: Five, Beef, Breads, Poultry
    Yield: 4 Servings

    10 oz Can beef broth
    1 Tube refrigerated biscuits
    10 oz Can chicken broth

    MMMMM---------------------------TOOLS--------------------------------
    2 sm Saucepans
    Knife
    Slotted spoon
    Soup ladle
    4 Soup bowls

    Pour the beef froth into a saucepan. Set aside and don't
    add any water.

    Remove the biscuits from the tube, seperate them and
    carefully cut each one in half. Then, using clean hands,
    sculpt the biscuit pieces into "dump" shapes.

    Add the dumps to the beef broth. With an adult's help,
    place the dumps and broth over medium heat and cook until
    the mixture comes to a boil. Turn the heat to low, cover
    the pan with a lid and simmer for 15-20 minutes.

    Carefully check the broth level often.

    Pour the chicken broth (diaper fluid) and one can water
    into the second saucepan. With a slotted spoon, carefully
    transfer the cooked dumps from the beef broth and place
    in the chicken broth pan. Heat chicken broth according
    to the directions on the can.

    Sicko serving suggestion: When you're done eating, place
    a container of baby wipes on the table for guests to
    clean up with!

    Title: Blueberry Grape-Nut Porridge
    Categories: Grains, Fruits, Dairy
    Yield: 1 Serving

    1/2 c Post Grape-Nuts cereal
    1/3 c Vanilla soy milk
    +=OR=+
    1/3 c Regular milk
    +=WITH=+
    2 dr Vanilla extract
    3 tb Fresh blueberries
    2 ts Honey or brown sugar
    1/4 ts Ground cinnamon

    This is a hot cereal that's super easy to make and a fun
    change of pace from cold cereal or oatmeal. If you're a
    fan of Grape-Nuts, you'll probably like this one... if
    only for the novelty of trying something new. The cereal
    nuggets soften in the microwave but retain their
    integrity ~ giving a texture that's somewhat like very
    firm steel-cut oatmeal.

    FOR THE CURED HEARTS AND GIZZARDS: In a vacuum bag,
    combine hearts, gizzards, pink salt, thyme, garlic, and
    bay leaf., remove air, seal, and cure overnight under
    refrigeration. Heat the water bath of an immersion
    circulator to 195ºF/90ºC. Remove hearts and gizzards

    separate bag, combine cured hearts and gizzards and
    duck fat. Remove air and seal. Cook sous vide 2 hours,
    until hearts and gizzards are tender but snappy; mince.

    FOR THE MAGIC MILK: Heat the water bath of an immersion
    circulator to 185ºF/85ºC. Prepare an ice bath. Scale
    milk and record weight. In a Vitamix blender, blend half
    the milk with 1/2% carageenan by recorded weight and
    1-1/2% hexametaphosphate. Transfer mixture to a vacuum bag
    with remaining milk. Remove air and seal bag. Cook sous
    vide 1 hour. Chill in ice bath.

    FOR THE CHICKEN LIVER MOUSSE: Heat the water bath of an
    immersion circulator to 155ºF/68ºC. Prepare an ice bath.
    In a pan over low heat, melt a little butter and sweat
    onion until translucent. Add cream, salts, and remaining
    butter. When butter has melted and mixture is warm,
    using a Vitamix blender and working in small batches,
    blend cream and livers until smooth and combined. Pass
    mixture through a chinois into a vacuum bag and remove
    all air. Cook sous vide 1 hour. Chill in ice bath. Scale
    mousse and record weight. To a Vitamix blender, add
    mousse and 25 percent Magic Milk by recorded weight;
    purée. Pass through a chinois and chill.

    heat, melt butter and sweat shallot and garlic until
    softened. Add 75 grams minced hearts and gizzards; heat
    through. Add barley, stirring to coat, followed by
    water. Cook on medium low heat, stirring constantly,
    until most of the water has evaporated and barley has
    the appearance of a loose risotto. Transfer to a sheet
    tray and let cool.

    TO ASSEMBLE AND SERVE In a sauce pot, add Pearl Barley
    and cover with water. Stirring constantly, bring mixture
    to a boil, adding water as necessary, until it achieves
    a risotto-like consistency. Stir in a little Chicken
    Liver Mousse and Ramp Butter. Season with Sherry vinegar
    and salt. The Porridge should be rich, pungent, and
    dirty. Transfer to a plate and serve immediately.
