'How To Make Congressional Bean Soup Without Really Trying'

 

[getoutamykitchen]

The topic was perfect for me because I would try anything as long as I don't have to try.

 

[chefmaloney]

The first thing Bucky did was say to the class: "Can any of you imagine anything worse than a room full of congressmen after eating bean soup for lunch?"
(of course everyone knew that that was impossible because they are always at lunch and never return afterwards unless of course they need to vote on an increase in pay for themselves before breaking for vacation)(oopppss....hope this isn't too 'political')

The first thing we have to do is soak the beans for 24 hours...lets go to the bar and have a drink while they are soaking.....

 

[chefmaloney]

Good idea, "margarita on the rocks no salt please" this gives me a great idea for next weeks class.

 

[pdswife]

Bucky was looking proud as he told of his plan "next week we'll be flying to Mexico to a tequlia farm to learn the process of tequila farming!!"

 

[chefmaloney]

"We will study the life of the Agave cactus and learn to make our own tequila"

 

[pdswife]

"Does everyone have their passports?"

 

[chefmaloney]

"Now class, while those beans are soaking lets be chopping our onions, sip of your drink, mincing garlic, sip of your drink, cutting those carrots in rounds, sip of your drink, and don't forget to chop some par-hic, some pars-hic, some parsley and hic....
oh.... forget it"

 

[pdswife]

just sip your drink and wipe up any spills you make...

 

[chefmaloney]

can someone please grab the mop?

 

[pdswife]

"will this bar rag work instead?" Asked a very drunk Paula who has snuck back in the room as soon as the booze appeared

 

[chefmaloney]

After wiping up all the spills (with 3 bar rags) Bucky asked the class to please return to the classroom and concentrate on the task at hand, that being the bean soup recipe and getting those passport photos taken in time for the trip to Mexico.

 

[getoutamykitchen]

Once the individual passport photos were taken, Paula shouted, "O.K. Everybody, group shot!"

 

[chefmaloney]

However, Bucky misunderstood what was meant by 'group shot' and he lined-up shots of tequila for the entire class which they immediately downed with sliced lime & sea salt. hic

 

[getoutamykitchen]

After 37 rounds of group shots they soon found themselves dancing in a circle doing the Hokey Pokey as Bucky was ...

 

[africhef]

dancing the polka on a table with the floor mop.

 

[expatgirl]

boy, the floor never looked shinier.........maybe this is what is meant being on the floor of Congress.......which reminded Bucky once his queasy stomach stopped churning was to get back to business at hand.......so.......

 

[expatgirl]

addendum: Bucky had waltzed that mop from the table down to the floor and then the above happened.......

 

[Chef Ryan]

Bucky took the mop and cleaned the entire kitchen
