Chapter 22 – Thanksgiving Week
Mary: Oh, yeah, right with you.
Tina: I need to make a mull for the broccoli. Angie, you want to help me so you will have this recipe?
Angie: Oh, sure. What can I do?
Tina: We need flour, cream, butter, salt and pepper. Then we need the cream cheese that Suzanne warmed up a little. Since we are making two casseroles, we need a large sauce pan. Turn the heat on and put the butter in. Pour in the cream and heat it up and then you will add the flour. Now I like to sift it in so it doesn’t clump. But you need to constantly stirs so there are no lumps and the flour mixes in completely. As it heats up, the sauce gets thicker and forms the mull. When it is thick like that, you then add a pinch of salt and a nice amount of pepper and then add the cream cheese. Then you stir, stir, stir, and make sure the cream cheese blends into the mull smoothly. Stir, stir, stir some more. That’s it. Once it’s all blended with no lumps, then you empty your sauce pan into your broccoli. Then you coat the broccoli with your mull and cream cheese sauce. Hopefully you have enough to be a little soupy in the broccoli. Suzanne, you toss the broccoli in the sauce. Now here are your two casserole dishes. Divide up what is in the pot and put it in the casserole dishes. When the ovens are clear, we will put them in to cook for some 20 minutes. Then we will put the bread crumb topping on. Now, you are going to need more of that than you think. Clean up your sauce pan and melt the butter and coat your fresh bread crumbs in the butter and once they are coated, then put two cups of finely grated parmesan remove from the heat and toss. That is the topping for both casseroles. Once the casseroles come out of the oven from their initial cook cycle, put the topping on and then put on a cooling rack. The final 30 minutes cooking will be done on Thursday.
Angie: How much does one of these casserole dishes serve?
Tina: Ten to twelve each. So, when you make some, you will probably only make half of this. Or you will make only a quarter of it, if it’s for a normal dinner party.

Great solution for helping Suzanne. I also like the various positive ways for her to repay the loan. Maybe 10 years down the road as she repays the loan it gets distributed again. When she has paid it off they can tell her the truth and they all can create an on going scholarship for deserving Yalie with B & T millions!!!!
So, get writing those 10+ years.
Thanks, I love your work!
You do realize that Suzanne’s solution originated with the investigation of Melvin Porter? Its one of the things that I admire about Bette. She absorbs the nuggets of wisdom which appear from various sources. I do like the fact that Bette and Tina want to help Suzanne but do not want Suzanne to be aware of where this help is coming from. And with this solution, neither Angie nor Suzanne will be in a position of being obligated to the other. If for some reason, their friendship sours, Suzanne will keep her support. And if anything should happen that Bette and Tina do not survive until Suzanne finishes her education, the money will still be there to assist her.
I like Suzanne as a friend for Angie… I like that she has red hair and is studious like Angie and perhaps a little more so. Do not look for any romance ever between Angie and Suzanne… that is just not in the cards and it would be a disaster for both of them.
Thank you for reading and commenting… I appreciate you pointing out Suzanne’s solution.
