My dear Shadowheart,

Here's the recipe I mentioned the other day. I wanted to write it down for you just in case it slipped my mind again. I can show you myself once you're home. Enjoy your party, and pass on my best to all your friends.

Love,

Your Mother

Feast Day Cheese Bake

For the filling:

- One small onion, sliced

- Half pound of mushrooms, quartered

- Red pepper, diced small

- Half pound of greens - spinach, peas, courgette, or whatever is in season in the garden - steamed or boiled

- Quarter pound of streaky bacon, chorizo, or similar. Fried and diced

- Half pound of pasta

For the sauce:

- Two tablespoons of butter

- Two tablespoons of plain flour

- One teaspoon of mild mustard from Cormyr. More if you are daring or congested

- Ten fluid ounces of milk

- Half pound of mature cheddar cheese, grated

- A goodly fistful of breadcrumbs

Method: Soften the onion in some oil, then add the mushrooms and pepper, and saute over a high flame. Combine with the cooked greens and meat, and set aside. Add pasta to a pot of boiling water.

Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the flour and whisk over a high flame for one minute. Add the milk, whisking until boiling, then add the grated cheese and remove from flame.

Drain the cooked pasta and add into the cheese sauce, along with the cooked vegetables and meat if used. Combine, and pour into an oven-worthy dish (the square stoneware one with the floral pattern should do nicely). Add the breadcrumbs on top, as well as some extra cheese if you are feeling wicked (your father often is).

Bake until the top layer is bubbling and golden, or your loved ones are hungrily loitering about in the kitchen.

PS - if you do not salt the pasta water, you can save it to feed to the plants in your garden.
