I'm kind of a Boner, but I Won Top Chef

This dude stayed consistently mediocre the entire season and then goes on to win it all.

Luckily, the long awaited Chicken Soup recipe is here to comfort you in your time of need.

From my Top Chef to you:

Ingredients

1-2 cans of low-sodium, low-fat chicken broth (or full sodium if you are not worried about puffiness/swelling)

1 package of real long carrots (not the baby ones)

1 package of celery

1 medium/large yellow onion

1 package (about 1.5-2 lbs.) chicken with bone-in and skin on (it can be breasts, thighs, legs, whatever)

Salt/Pepper

Bay leaves

Garlic powder

Macaroni

Cheese

1. Large pot and put it on the stove. Put a little bit of olive oil on the bottom of the pot and turn flame to high.
2. Brown chicken. Take skin off of chicken and put chicken in pot to brown as you are de-skinning it. When the chicken browns a little bit, turn it to the other side. By browning meat, you help to seal in the juices so it does not get tough when boiling for extended periods of time. By the time you are done de-skinning chicken, most of the chicken should be lightly browned.
3. Take the pot off of stove and fill it to the top with water by running under sink faucet. Do not fill with water to the tippy top of the pot or once you start putting vegetables in the pot, the water will overflow out of the pot. Leave about an inch of room. You want it to begin to boil.
4. Return pot to stove. Put flame to high. Note: You goal is to reduce broth about 1/3 while cooking, which is when you then add 1 or 2 cans of chicken broth for flavor, if needed.
5. De-skin onion. You may put it in whole, or cut in half, or fourths, or eighths. If you do not like onion, put it in whole so that you can take it out once the soup is done. Most of the time the onion is cooked so well that it disintegrates into the water. Put onion in pot.
6. While the chicken, water and onion are boiling in pot on the stove, shave the dirty outer layer off of the carrots with either a knife or peeler. Rinse carrots. Slice carrots. Put them in pot.
7. Rinse celery. You may wait about 20-30 minutes or so between carrots and celery because you don’t want celery to get too mushy. It cooks quickly. Cut celery and put in pot.
8. Put in 3 bay leaves. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, or whatever you want. Keep tasting to make sure it has taste. Season as needed.
9. OPTIONAL: You may add sliced zucchini, fresh baby spinach, escarole, etc. to pot. They all cook very quickly.
10. Boil for about an hour after this. You know soup is done when you check to see if chicken is falling off of bone easily. Or you check to see the chicken is not pink inside. Once that happens, the soup is about done.
11. Add 1-2 cans of chicken broth about 30 minutes before you are ready to serve. After the hour if fine.
12. Put up water for macaroni (or rice, or best, acini de pepe) and make it in a separate pot. Do not add pasta to boiling soup because the pasta absorbs the broth while cooking and you will end up with no liquid left in the pot. It’s best to make macaroni separate.
13. Take chicken out of pot and take off of bones. It should fall apart. Put chicken back in soup pot.
14. Serve with macaroni. Add pecorino romano, or parmesan, cheese.

Just When You Thought the Internet Was Over

Give it a watch and a listen. Some of it is Magical

I was not aware nor am I sure....

what I think about this.  

Nutmegger is a nickname for people from the state of Connecticut. The official name for Connecticut is 'the Constitution State', as voted in 1958 by the Connecticut state legislature; however 'The Nutmeg State' is also an unofficial name for the state, hence the nickname 'nutmegger'. While this nickname had become increasingly overshadowed by the official nickname since the legislative act in 1958, it has made a recent resurgence.

The origin of the appellation is unknown. One theory is that it comes from Yankee peddlers selling nutmegs in colonial times. These nutmegs may have been the real thing, i.e. the hard aromatic seed of the nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans), an East Indian evergreen tree, or counterfeit wooden nutmegs; or, as has been suggested ^[1], they were the real thing but customers unfamiliar with the native form of the spice might have decided they had been sold a counterfeit after futilely trying to grind the unusually hard ^[2] seed.

A popular newspaper column in the 1830's was 'The Sayings and Doings of Samuel Slick, of Slickville', which has been often cited as the source of this legend. The original story was^[3] :

"...that eternal scoundrel, that Captain John Allspice of Nahant, he used to trade to Charleston, and he carried a cargo once there of fifty barrels of nutmegs: well, he put half a bushel of good ones into each end of the barrel, and the rest he filled up with wooden ones, so like the real thing, no soul could tell the difference until HE BIT ONE WITH HIS TEETH, and that he never thought of doing, until he was first BIT HIMSELF. Well, its been a standing joke with them southerners agin us ever since. "

The term "nutmegger" is also used about people who often use nutmeg recreationally.^[4]
