RIP to at good buddy

[Richard Flanders]

The sauce is indeed wonderful Edgar. It was a little heavy on butter and light on heavy cream in this attempt. It's supposed to be a white cream sauce, but I never seem to get it quite right. I did indeed use some of it on some buttery potatoes as a side dish, licked the plate clean and cleaned the sauce from the pan with a rubber spatula and put it into a container to be reused, likely on some pasta. Not a drop of that goes to waste for sure. I do like your bread idea; just didn't have any bread here.

Gerald: the viking sendoff I gave him was actually most interesting. I save all my bird carcasses and put them out for the ravens and such, but I very rarely see whatever comes and gets them. Generally a raven just comes in, grabs it and flies off. For the first time ever I watched the raven take this one apart in the yard for a while, which is a first. After he flew off with the scraps a huge cross fox came in and did cleanup on the sight; I watched that for a while. A hour later a huge red fox came in looking for scraps. Never before have I observed all that and I somehow just can't accept it as coincidence. I think my bird buddy possessed big Juju. At least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
