Ghost Schlong

So I finally managed to use that creepy ass daikon radish that came into my life two-or-so weeks ago. I'm sorry, I mean absolutely no disrespect to the hardworking farmers who toiled over that daikon, or to the innocent plant itself, but that sucker was the spitting image of a ghost penis.

I wasn't about to bite into that thing, let alone swallow it, so I took the path of least resistance, and used it to make chicken stock:


I took some meaty/bony chicken pieces, a CSA onion, some CSA herb, the diakon and let it all go in the crock pot for approximately one billion hours.

Then I threw the chicken bones and the daikon in the good old fashioned trashola, added some noodles, and had the best bowl of chicken noodle soup I've ever tasted. For real:


I made this bread to go along with it:


The picture's blurry, but that's okay--the bread sucked. It was white bread with CSA dill and oven roasted tomatoes, which sounds like such a nice idea, but it was all wrong, damnit. All wrong!

I'm trying to sound like I'm on a soap opera.
