    Mousse: Grind the onion and livers in a food grinder. Add
    shallots, thyme, garlic, parsley, and basil and process.

    Place the processed mixture into a bowl, add eggs, lard,
    bread crumbs (epice parisienne or cayenne pepper is
    optional), salt and pepper. Mix well.

    Put the mixture into a processor and blend it until
    smooth. Add about 1 cup of cream while blending.

    Pour back into a bowl and adjust the seasoning: (Note:
    mixture should be more liquid than thick -- add more cream
    if needed.) Strain through chinois.

    Pour mixture into chilled, well-buttered ramekins. Put a
    layer of water in a saute pan and place the ramekins on
    the pan. Cover the ramekins with buttered parchment paper,
    (butter side down) then bring to a boil.

    Place the boiled ramekins in a 450|+F/230|+C oven for 8
    minutes. Remove parchment and let set for 2 minutes.

    Tomato Sauce: Heat the olive oil in a saute pan. Add onion
    and garlic and cook until transparent. Add bouquet garni.
    Sprinkle onion mixture with flour to thicken sauce.

    Add tomatoes immediately and mix well. Reduce the heat.
    Add 1 cup of water and cook 20 - 30 minutes. Salt and
    pepper to taste.

    Remove bouquet garni and put mixture into a food processor
    and blend thoroughly (do not blend too much or color will
    change).

    Strain through chinois. You may add 1 tablespoon of butter
    for extra flavor if desired.

    Assembly: Unmold the mousse onto a serving plate. Spoon
    tomato sauce over the mousse. Top with chopped chives,
    carrots, chervil, and watercress. Garnish with bay a leaf.

    Title: Hippo Pot de Mousse
    Categories: Five, Desserts, Chocolate, Dairy, Nuts
    Yield: 6 Servings

    4 oz Semisweet chocolate
    2 oz Bittersweet chocolate
    2 c Heavy cream; well-chilled
    - whipping cream will do
    - nicely
    1 ts Almond extract

    Melt the chocolate together in the top of a double boiler.
    Be careful to do this slowly, so as not to burn the
    chocolate, and to keep all moisture away from the pot. Let
    the chocolate cool for five minutes.

    While the chocolate cools, whip the cream and almond
    extract together until very stiff. Gently fold the cooled
    chocolate into the whipped cream. There will be many
    flecks of chocolate in the mixture.

    If you're not going to eat it all yourself, spoon into six
    large wine glasses. Chill one hour.

    Yield: Serves one to six people.

    NOTES: Extremely quick and easy chocolate mousse -- This
    is an adaptation of a very easy chocolate mousse recipe
    from Sandra Boynton's hilarious book, "Chocolate, the
    Consuming Passion." It requires none of the laborious
    preparation that most French mousse recipes call for, and
    really optimizes the effort needed to consume the
    chocolate, which is, after all, what this is all about.

    If you're careful, you can also melt the chocolate in a
    microwave oven, in its wrapper. If you try this, be
    especially mindful of the semisweet chocolate, as the
    sugar therein caramelizes very quickly, leading to an
    awful mess (and ruined chocolate).
