Recipe of the week:
Lowfat mushroom potato and leek bisque
Ingredients
2 large Leeks, cleaned and sliced (white parts only)
3 medium Yukon Gold Potatoes
1 1/4 boxes 99% Fat Free Chicken Broth
3/4 cup Light or non-fat sour cream
3-4 cups White button mushrooms, thick sliced
3 slices 2% Kraft Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 T kosher salt
1 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 T Dill weed
2 T Canola Oil
Cooking Instructions
Heat oil in soup pot until it shimmers. Add leeks and mushrooms. Cook until tender over medium heat. Add chicken broth and potatoes. Cover and boil on medium heat until potatoes are tender and liquid has reduced. Remove cover and mash coarsely with potato masher. Mixture should be thick and chunky. Add salt, pepper, dill and sour cream. Stir well and add cheese. Adjust seasonings to taste. Serve with additional sour cream. NOTE: soup may be served warm or as a cold soup.
Recipe Notes
I love the taste of cream of mushroom soup and potato leek soup and wanted to combine them both in a flavorful, yet low-fat, bisque. You can experiment with different mushrooms and certainly can make this in a full-fatted version

Here it is what you have all been waiting for, the debut of Dear Clem!!!! Enjoy, let her advice marinate in your mind and get your questions to her ASAP!!!
Dear Clem,
I work in an elementary school and often make kids cry. How can I toughen them up so they are prepared for the real world?
Kirz10
Dear Kirz:
It’s ironic that you ask this during the greatest crying kids week of the year: Halloween. Well, crying, sore feet and sugar highs—but as a teacher, you undoubtedly already are well acquainted with that.
The answer is simple: Haul that dominatrix outfit out of the closet a few days before Halloween—or from wherever your stash of whips and leather is kept. This is the week you can inspire them to be toughened up without anyone being the wiser as to WHY you own a dominatrix outfit.
Then work your magic, Teacher—work your magic.
Dear Clem,
I have been doing some gardening, and someone suggested I plant some clematis. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find the clematis. When I ask other men about it, they don't seem to know what I'm talking about. Women, on the other hand, just shake their heads and say things like "You should know where it is by now". I have looked high and low, from mountains to deltas and from barren mounds to fertile jungles. Can you help me find the clematis? (My wife says I'm not planting another seed until I get an answer that satisfies her.)
Sincerely,
Farmer Richard
Dear Farmer Dick:
Why do I suspect that the "someone" who suggested you master the clematis was your wife?
I am very well acquainted with clematis, as I once owned a rather prolific and colorful group of them. Shut up.
Clematis is a very touchy, temperamental thing when it comes to results. It can blossom in spurts—often high and dry on the vine, while at other times tumbling over itself in a desire to show its ability to provide beautiful blooms, long tangled tendrils and make that garden strut its stuff.
I have, however, discovered that clematis is not prone to bloom in frigid temps or under neglect. Rather it tends to only bloom in moist, warm places and under the expert tutelage of a Master Gardener, who can then move on to discover the Holy Grail of the Garden, or “G” spot, once the clematis has been mastered.
For best results, retrieve your hoe and remove its protective wrapping. Then, travel south, past the prickly pair toward the unweeded area of the planting section. (Sometimes, it has been weeded prior to your arrival, so if you reach a bare spot, don’t think you are in the wrong place.)
Feel for a break in the surface, using your hand in circular strokes until you recognize the presence of the root of your angst. You will immediately begin to see results as the mound heaves and rather directs you as to how to proseed.
You will experience rewards beyond belief—and may even earn community recognition for your newly honed talent. Good f—er—luck!!
