Day 27: Bean Salad, Thai veggie Soup and Sushi - oh... and chicken noodle soup

So the picture you see here has nothing to do with what I ate today as all my meals minus the Ultra shake were prepared by someone else. The delicious blend of fowl, Penzy spices, time and heat that was started last night by emulsifying a Moroccan chicken carcass with brandy for several hours; chilled the stock outdoors overnight in our current 40 degree San Francisco evening weather; then skimmed off the fat in the morning and used as a base with a mirepoix, parsley, fennel seeds and pasta with about 8 cups of water to make what will be a decent chicken noodle soup for a friend and fellow food lover who recently broke a wing and needs healing food. There should be a good amount for us too, I’m not completely without self interest. ‘wink’.
