[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

	Made this Saturday night while Hannah was raging outside. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders, chopped 2 carrots, chopped 1 onion, chopped 2 ribs celery with the greens, chopped Salt Freshly ground pepper 3 cups chicken stock, divided 1 cup cream, divided 1/2 cup quick cooking polenta, plus more, if needed* 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 6 sprigs fresh tarragon, stripped and chopped, 3 to 4 tablespoons 1 cup frozen peas 1 cup Gruyere cheese, grated In a deep skillet heat 2 turns of the pan extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and lightly brown, 3 minutes, add carrots, onions, and celery as you chop. Season with salt and pepper and cook 10 to 12 minutes to soften. Preheat broiler. Set rack in middle of oven. Bring 1 cup chicken stock and 1/2 cup cream to a boil, stir in polenta and whisk, 3 minutes. Turn heat low, stir in Gruyere cheese and reserve. *Cook's Note: You may need up to 3/4 to 1 cup of polenta to fill the tops of your soup bowls or use some more of the remaining stock. Scoot meat and veggies off to side, melt butter and combine with flour 1 minute. Whisk in 2 cups stock and combine, stir in 1/2 cup cream and bring to a bubble. Stir in Dijon, tarragon, peas and adjust salt and pepper and transfer to soup bowls. Set soup bowls on baking dish. Form tops to your pot pies with the polenta and cheese mixture. Set under broiler and brown 2 to 3 minutes. -----signature----- WARLORD OF PI Lokkie_the_Fierce (+3.14) http://c.mymovies.dk/ryejay123

	The recipe states it is about 4 servings - naturally I just made 2 really huge portions ;p When the BF saw it, made a claim about too much food... took one bite and scarfed the rest down. -----signature----- WARLORD OF PI Lokkie_the_Fierce (+3.14) http://c.mymovies.dk/ryejay123
