Carol - you are a life saver - once again. I spent two/three days trying to find something on line - that would be a basic sauce workable with a variety of foods. None had the basic ingredients that I love - or would work with so many foods. This is simple, has everything I keep on hand. Will prepare this evening. Probably should have waited and done post then... but always get anxious - every time I find one of your new posts. Thanks for putting this one on. Am putting it on index card now - as a permanent - regular item. Thanks again. PLEASE - keep posting.
