Ok then, I'll have a crack at remembering how much. Please remember that
this is all more-or-less measurements
Mace 1/2 tsp
Ginger 1 tsp (I like my ginger, an it goes so well with meat)
Pepper approx 1/2 tsp
as a sidenote. I read that someone had trouble thickening with egg yolks,
getting the dreaded scrambled egg consistency. I tempered the egg yolks
with a ladlefull of warm stock before I added it to the stew. It's the
easiest way I know to thicken a sauce with egg yolk. Does anyone have a
better way???
