Mountclemen's Dinner

"We've got news for you, Jim. We called
Mountclemens to make an appointment for you,
and he wants you to go tomorrow night. To dinner!"
"And now I believe we are ready for the soup."
[said Mountclemens] The critic drew aside some dark
red velvet curtains. An aroma of lobster greeted
Qwilleran in the dining alcove. Plates of soup, thick and
creamy were placed on a bare table that looked hundreds
of years old. Thick candles burned in iron holders.

Mountclemens removed the soup plates and brought in a
tureen of chicken in a dark and mysterious sauce.

Well it wouldn't be mysterious if I were to give you that recipe,
now would it? Oh... but I just read what is in that sauce... purrrr
I will definitely be trying that one. An it ain't for felines.

Lobster Bisque
___________

1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 cups milk
1 bay leaf
1 boiled lobster or 2 small boiled
lobster tails cut into bite-sized chunks
2 cups cream
salt and pepper to taste
4 tablespoons of sherry

I can tell by the ingredients this works out fine.
Especially because it adds wine.

Lobster tails are cheap right now at 2.99 each
I don't know where the liquor store is.
but I am sure there is one around somewhere.

Regular instructions. On to the story.

"By the way, I hope you like Ceasar Salad,"
[Mountclemens said]. It was a man's salad,
zesty and full of crunch."
