Chicken Pudding
This recipe is from the family cookbook of President James Monroe.
1 (4 to 4 1/2 pound) chicken
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup butter
Cut chicken into serving pieces. Put neck, giblets and backbone in a pan. Pour in enough water to cover, and add 1 onion (cut in half), 1 stalk of celery (cut in chunks), a few sprigs of parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme. Cook over low heat about 45 minutes. Strain and reserve the broth.
Combine flour, salt and pepper in a paper bag. Drop in pieces of chicken and shake until evenly coated.
Heat butter in a skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Add chicken, and sauté until nicely browned on all sides. Add broth, cook to a boil, cover tightly, and simmer gently for 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until chicken is tender when tested with a fork.
Transfer chicken to an 8-inch square baking dish that can be used for serving. Reserve the broth. Prepare batter topping.
Batter Topping
1 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
Sift together flour and salt. Set aside.
Beat eggs soundly; pour in milk and butter. Stir in flour mixture until smooth. Pour over the chicken, covering it evenly with the batter.
Bake in a preheated 450 degrees F oven for 15 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking 20 to 25 minutes. Topping will puff up and brown around the edges like Yorkshire Pudding.
While the pudding bakes, make a smooth paste with 1 or 2 tablespoons of flour and water. Stir into chicken broth and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. Serve immediately, with the gravy in a separate dish.
Serves 4 to 6.

Philadelphia ChickensView This Product at AmazonThe Bacon Brothers say it best on this hilarious CD's title track: "Poultry in motion is a beautiful thing." So is a record that grabs you by the funnybone from its opening (the Seldom Herd's "Cows") and doesn't let go till the final note is clucked. Sandra Boynton, whose illustrated board books have become as much a part of every toddler's reading list as Mother Goose, makes a convincing case here that authors can succeed brilliantly as very silly songwriters. Meryl Streep, Laura Linney, Kevin Kline, Natasha Richardson, and fourteen other performers all qualify as contenders for king and queen of the coop, and they whoop it up enough to guarantee the most enjoyable sing-along ever.

Dixie ChickenView This Product at AmazonEverything came together for Little Feat's third album. An expanded lineup gave the Feat a more supple rhythmic base, Lowell George penned some of his strongest numbers, and they developed an oozy studio sound that suited them to a T. The title track, "Fat Man in a Bathtub," and "Two Trains" distilled compounded rhythms, wailing background vocals, and adroit wordplay into an intoxicating soul-rock swill. In many ways,
Dixie Chicken stands as a kind of kissing cousin to the Rolling Stones'
Exile on Main Street, which hit the streets one year earlier. While not as expansive as the Stones' magnum opus, its highlights are every bit as spectacular.

Chicken RunView This Product at AmazonThere were a lot of disappointments in the 2000 summer movie season, but
Chicken Run wasn't one of them. Made by Aardman Animations, which produced the Oscar-winning Wallace & Gromit shorts, this is a dazzling stop-motion animation film that is both deftly funny and surprisingly touching. The concept is simple:
The Great Escape--with chickens. But directors Peter Lord and Nick Park take it much further than that (and remember: there's a whole generation out there that has no idea who Steve McQueen is). Julia Sawalha voices Ginger, a plucky English hen who has been trying to escape from Tweedy's chicken farm, where the vicious Mrs. Tweedy (Miranda Richardson) fries up any chicken who doesn't produce enough eggs. When egg profits slump, Mrs. Tweedy decides to turn her farm into a chicken-pie factory, giving new urgency to Ginger's plan. Enter Rocky the Flying Rooster (Mel Gibson), a brash American who has escaped from a circus and promises to teach the chickens to fly to safety. The film is filled with innumerable visual touches and the animation has a tactile quality that makes you want to reach out and touch these funny fowl. Above all, it's played with intelligence, wit, and heart--a rare combination in any film. While
Chicken Run is being marketed to a youth audience, it truly is a family film that operates on both a child and an adult level. It would be a shame if grownups skipped it because they thought it was strictly for kids.

Ghost & Mr ChickenView This Product at AmazonRemember watching this silly little comedy from your childhood? It may not have aged all that well, but is still goofy, good fun. Okay, so you can spot the stunt double, and Don Knotts's twitches are a little more obvious. Still, fans of his familiar routines will be comforted in knowing they can again watch their skinny underdog hero solve the ghost story while winning the prettiest girl in town. Knotts plays a trembling typesetter hoping to become a reporter by cracking the mystery of the local haunted house. To do so, he must spend a night there. Good-hearted, non-threatening, and completely gooey, this is the equivalent of light-weight cinematic junk food.

Robot Chicken: Season ThreeView This Product at Amazon"Well, all the jokes can't be good, you have to expect that once in awhile," Groucho Marx apologized to the camera in
Animal Crackers. Though some of the gags in
Robot Chicken's third season lay an egg, creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich have nothing to apologize for, except maybe the moment in the "Half-Assed Christmas Special," in which Charlie Brown asks Snoopy, "Have you seen Linus? He was supposed to walk me to chemo." With its barrage of sight gags and pop culture mash-ups (Rankin/Bass's
Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer meets
Godfather II when elf Hermey, the aspiring dentist, winds up like Fredo), this ceaselessly-inventive Emmy Award-winning stop-motion animated series is the fastest 10 minutes (without commercials) on television. There is something here to befuddle (if not offend) everyone. Children of the '80s might be unfamiliar with Mister Magoo, just as Baby Boomers may not be acquainted with She-Ra. Still, you don't need to have seen
Forrest Gump to be tickled by the sight gag that takes "run, forest, run," literally. For all the sophomoric humor (yes, there will be fart jokes and geysers of plasticine blood), there are transcendent bits of brilliance, such as when Ted Kennedy and porn star Jenna Jameson team up to slay celebrities (Arnold Schwarzenegger, Paris Hilton) who have intruded into politics or porn, a goof on
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie which somehow descends into vampirism and Earth's destruction, and the Kanye West moment when a Smurf complains, "The king doesn't care about blue people" after a Katrina-like disaster devastates the Smurfs' domain.
Robot Chicken continues to attract A-listers who get it, including Ethan Hawke, who reprises his
Training Day character as the voice of a rookie monster riding with
Godzilla. As befits a series that rewards geek-like obsession, this two-disc set features immersive extras--lively audio commentaries for each episode, video blogs of writer pitches, deleted scenes--that reveal just what makes this
Robot tick.

Robot Chicken, Season 1View This Product at AmazonTake the stop-motion animated toy action of
Kablam! and the pell-mell-paced gag barrage of, say,
Laugh-In and you've got the fast and furiously funny
Robot Chicken, the addictive addition to Cartoon Network's Adult Swim late-night lineup. Co-created by geek-God Seth Green and filmmaker Matthew Senreich,
Robot Chicken episodes run a scant 12 minutes or so, which invites repeat viewings to catch what you missed during the channel-flipping mayhem through TV, movie, and commercial parodies, and non-sequitur blackouts, all acted out by dolls and action figures. To truly appreciate this series, it helps to have a
Family Guy grasp on pop-culture trivia, although you need not remember the failed TV series
Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place to enjoy "Two Kirks (Admiral James T. and Cameron), a Khan and a Pizza Place." Suffice to say, if you grew up with the Transformers, Voltron, He-Man, and the Care Bears, you'll cackle loudly at
Robot Chicken. Each episode is hit and miss, with moments that border on mad genius, such as
The Diary of Anne Frank re-imagined as a vehicle for Hilary Duff, or a sketch involving the Tooth Fairy and a little boy whose happiness is short-lived as his parents brutally bicker off camera. It may just live up to its billing as "the darkest sketch in television history."
Other moments to remember: actress Rachael Leigh Cook (voiced by herself) gets carried away during a "This is your brain on heroin" PSA; the shape-shifting superhero adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen; a popsicle-stick adaptation of Debbie Does Dallas; and a Behind the Music devoted to Muppet house band the Electric Mayhem. Robot Chicken's coolness cache extends to its voice cast, including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane, Mark Hamill, and Macauley Culkin. This two-disc set hatches a wealth of archival goodies, including deleted scenes and "animatics," behind-the-scenes footage of animation meetings, and alternate audio takes. Robot Chicken is a fowl ball! --Donald Liebenson

Inkdeath (Inkheart)View This Product at AmazonThe Adderhead--his immortality bound in a book by Meggie's father, Mo--has ordered his henchmen to plunder the villages. The peasants' only defense is a band of outlaws led by the Bluejay--Mo's fictitious double, whose identity he has reluctantly adopted. But the Book of Immortality is unraveling, and the Adderhead again fears the White Women of Death. To bring the renegade Bluejay back to repair the book, the Adderhead kidnaps all the children in the kingdom, dooming them to slavery in his silver mines unless Mo surrends. First Dustfinger, now Mo: Can anyone save this cursed story?
Inkspell (Inkheart)View This Product at AmazonJust a few chapters into
Inkspell, Mo (a.k.a. "Silvertongue") sagely says to his daughter, "Stories never really end, Meggie, even if the books like to pretend they do. Stories always go on. They don't end on the last page, any more than they begin on the first page." A fitting meta-observation for this, the unplanned second installment in Cornelia Funke's beloved now-trilogy.
Of course, it's that sort of earnest, almost gushing veneration of books and book-loving that made the absorbing suspense-fantasy Inkheart so wonderful in the first place, with that lit-affection getting woven integrally into the plot (Inkheart being both Funke's first book in the series, and the fictitious book within that book, authored by the frustrated Fenoglio, now trapped within the book, er, within the book. Fenoglio, perhaps not surprisingly, self-referentially wishes in Inkspell that he had written a sequel to Inkheart.) Inkspell should serve as a special treat for fans of the first book, as characters from Inkheart who have found themselves in the "real world" (if there is such a thing) find themselves read back into their own mythic, word-spun world--along with some of our favorite "real-world" characters. As with the previous book, Funke's greatest accomplishment here is telling such a rich and involving (and fun!) story, while still managing sweet, subtle commentary on the nature of words and meaning. Expect a tantalizing finale, too--as Funke says, "No reader will forgive me the ending, though, without a part three." (Ages 8 and up) --Paul Hughes
