Remember when we were kids & we were read fairy tales? Well, that's what I do with my students when we're waiting for bread to rise. Anyway, this week's challenges are all about culinary fairy tales. Well, some of the most recent stories I read them were of Stone Soup & James & The Giant Peach. For those in the know, the first is a story about starving travelers who had nothing to their names other than a massive cooking pot. When they came upon a town & asked for food, the townspeople quickly shunned them & held tightly to their reserves. With that, the starving travelers were forced to think of something creative. Eventually they filled their large pot with water, heated it & added rocks. As the townspeople passed, their inquisitive nature took hold & they asked what the travelers were doing. The travelers responded, "Why, we're making the best soup you've ever tasted! The only problem is, is that it seems to be missing something?" At that point, a farmer spoke up and said "Well, I have some carrots in my cellar I can afford you." As time quickly passed, the travelers continued to make that same proclamation. Again, another townsperson would offer onions, another spuds, some corn, many fresh bread & seasonings, beef and pork scraps. Before everyone knew it, there was a massive pot of soup large enough to feed the entire town. Well, my students took a page from those books and happily fed the homeless with it today at 4:30 a.m. Stone Soup & Peach Cobbler for all!
