White Sauce
I write in my recipe book in a very short hand kind of way. One that assumes you already have some skill and would know what I’m talking about. I pity my some-day daughter-in-law trying to decipher it. Something like this white sauce recipe is pretty straight forward, following the recipe for a whole turkey dinner … not so much!
Butter 2 to 4 tbs melt low
Onions etc
Flour (whole wheat) 2 to 5 tbs more for thicker
Stir lots 10 minutes
Milk
Spices and herbs
Pour on something
Serve while still hot

Firstly, who said it would be a daughter in law trying to decipher your recipe?
Secondly, you have nothing on the Joy of Cooking who will bury your instructions in the middle of a larger recipe as the line “Add 2 cups of Becahmel sauce – page 123″
Pat – a son in law who does most of the cooking.

sage
lavender (more)
juniper
star anise (less)
