They move to wherever they are comfortable, and sit with whoever they choose.

Roast Leg of Amputee

By all means, substitute lamb or a good beef roast if the haunch 
it is in any way diseased. But sometimes surgeons make mistakes, 
and if a healthy young limb is at hand, then don?t hesitate to cook 
it to perfection!

1 high quality limb, rack, or roast
Potatoes, carrot
Oil
celery
onions
green onions
parsley
garlic
salt, pepper, etc
2 cups beef stock

Marinate meat (optional, not necessary with better cuts). 
Season liberally and lace with garlic cloves by making incisions, 
   and placing whole cloves deep into the meat.
Grease a baking pan, and fill with a thick bed of onions, 
   celery, green onions, and parsley. 
Place roast on top with fat side up. 
Place uncovered in 500° oven for 20 minutes, reduce oven to 325°. 
Bake till medium rare (150°) and let roast rest.

   place the slices in the au jus.



Bisque à l?Enfant

Honor the memory of Grandma with this dish by utilizing her good 
silver soup tureen and her great grandchildren (crawfish, crab or 
lobster will work just as well, however this dish is classically 
made with crawfish).

   make patties if shell or head is not available 
   (such as with packaged crawfish, crab, or headless baby).
Flour
oil
onions
bell peppers
garlic salt, pepper, etc.
3 cups chicken stock
2 sticks butter
3 tablespoons oil

First stuff the heads, or make the patties (see index) 
   then fry or bake.  
Set aside to drain on paper towels.
Make a roux
