to (perhaps for the first time in my life) follow the recipe exactly. circumstances intervened.
i was ignoring the lobbying from the herb shelf (especially the thyme) and things were proceeding swimmingly when, whilst rummaging in the vegetable drawer for the leeks, i heard a chorus of small voices chanting, “oh sir. kind sir. we too wish to honor David patron saint of Wales with our presence at dinner.” although impressed, I was still holding true to my original intent when I noticed that the cello bag was beginning to fill with carrot tears. that did it dawn. without stopping to explain to them the difference between At dinner and For dinner, i grabbed three of the little fellers and sliced them into the pot.
at this point the thyme put up a real squawk claiming ecumenical prejudice. i should make it known here that i have grave doubts concerning the religious conviction of thymus vulgaris but I figured “in for a penny in for a pound” and threw in a tablespoon.
up to this point, i doubt that Dewi Saint would have objected overly, but things took a rapid downturn when i remembered the stock in the freezer that i had made from a couple of chicken carcasses and an odd hambone.
it was however excellent and i thank you for posting. oh – i used fat-free half and half instead of cream and rather more than the amount called for.
