Turning Wine and Tears
Mulling wine for the Ascharonian palate was not as simple as it sounded.
Garun, once more, had tricked Defi into a misconception.
It was nothing close to 'a little bit of this and that, a little bit of something from here and there, make sure the coals are glowing beautifully, swish the pot around a little bit, and you'll have a nice hot spiced wine, simple eh?' at all.
Defi frowned deeply at the recipe for spiced wine in 'The Bluzand Book of Cookery'.
Vesia had sent the book along with his subscriptions to various journals and circularies, saying that it was a disgrace for a Bluzand partner not to have it.
There were seventeen different spices, herbs, and fruits in the recipe, along with three pages of instructions and notes on how to prepare them and when to add them to the concoction.
How was this simple?!
