  Because of the way I read messages (sorted by poster) I read Hap's
  reply to this message before I read your original message.   I was
  really puzzled trying to figure out who "FT" was.  I could not recall
  anyone with such initials in this echo -- at least not for a long time
  (Fred Towner came to mind, but he has not been here for more than a
  decade even though some of his recipes live on).  Now that I read your
  message, I understand that you were quoting some "FT" from some place
  else -- I'm glad you said that.

  BTW, speaking of flying etc., one of the places we visited on our
  coach tour of western PA at the beginning of this week was the crash
  site for UA93.  We talked to a guy who was there and saw the plane
  come down.  The government (National Park Service) is in the process
  of building a memorial on the site, but it has not yet progressed past
  the talking/planning stage.

      Title: Egyptian Peeled Wheat Berry Chicken and Chick-Pea Soup
 Categories: Soup
      Yield: 8 servings
 
      1 c  Whole peeled wheat berries
           -soaked overnight
    1/2 c  Dried chick-peas
           -soaked overnight
  2 1/2 lb Whole chicken
      2 sm Beef marrow bones
           -with marrow removed
      9 c  Water
    1/4 ts Turmeric
    3/4 lb Onion(s), quartered
           -(2 large onions)
      1 lg Garlic clove(s)
      2 sm Turnips, peeled and halved
      2    Stalks celery with leaves
      2 sm Carrots
      6    Sprigs parsley
    1/2 ts Black peppercorns
           Salt to taste
      1 tb Butter
      1 ts Syrian Mixed Spices
           -or ground allspice
 
  Drain the wheat berries and chick-peas and set aside. To a large,
  7-qt. Dutch oven, add the chicken, marrow bones and water. Bring to a
  boil, skim the surface, then lower the heat and add the  turmeric,
  onions, garlic and turnips. Tie the celery, carrots, parsley and
  peppercorns in a cheesecloth sack for easy removal and tuck into the
  pot. Simmer, covered, for 1¬ hours.
  
  Lift out the chicken, marrow bones and bundle of vegetables. Set the
  chicken aside to cool and discard the bones and the bag of vegetables.
  Purée the soup and the remaining vegetables in a food processor in
  batches, returning each batch to the pot. Bring to a boil again, add
  the soaked chick-peas and wheat berries, lower the heat and simmer,
  covered, for 45-60 minutes or until the grain and chick-peas are
  tender.
  
  Meanwhile, when the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the skin
  and the bones and discard them. Tear the chicken meat into large
  pieces and add to the pot. Add salt. In a small skillet, melt the
  butter and stir in the Syrian Mixed Spices. Dribble over the soup
  before serving right from the pot. The spices will float on top,
  dotting the surface in a polka-dot design. Ladle into soup b owls
  while the soup is still piping hot.
