  1. This was fantastic!! My family (all 3 of us) enjoyed it so much! It was a little involved, but nothing like the original recipe from Julia Child - another blogger I read actually made it according to Julia's recipe. :)

    Thank you!

  2. I'm sorry! I forgot to say that I didn't brown the carrots and onions, that would have saved you a little time. Another thing I like to do, if I'm making bacon for breakfast one day, I'll dice some and cook extra and keep it in the frig if I plan on making something like this sometime within a week.
