Reduce this sauce to a good consistency, and strain it again. Dressing: Place the chicken on a long dish, on a sandwich bread crouton, fried in butter, fixed at the mark.

Book 2 of the Abercromby Scandal continuing the story from The Scent of Blue Lotus

England 1900 with a stop in France for the clothes of course

1 stick of unsalted butter (8 tablespoons), room temperature

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/2 cup finely grated good Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped

1 egg

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

Directions

In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, salt, cheese, and herbs until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula, and add the egg. Mix until just combined. It will look a bit curdled.

Add the flour, and run the machine just until the dough comes together (you can’t see any dry flour), and not a second more. Turn the dough out onto a big sheet of plastic wrap, and knead two to three times, so the dough has no air pockets or cracks. Roll the dough, using the plastic wrap, into a 10-inch log. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut the ragged ends off the log of dough, and then slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Place the rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake until the edges of the sablés are just golden, 15-17 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes outside to cool, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve with lots of rosé!



This Uncommon Solitude captures the myriad and diverse experiences of Red Wheelbarrow Writers during these times of quarantine and the COVID-19 pandemic. We reach out to connect but we can’t physically touch each other. We are shaken by news of widespread suffering and death caused by a novel virus that inexorably spirals out of control. We feel powerless and isolated. Ongoing catastrophes of racism and environmental decline trouble our hearts. For many of us, poetry has helped to connect us, one to another, as we share experiences and insights, express our grief and sadness, fears and pain, gratitude and hope. In joining together, we feel our way forward as best we can toward making sense of our transformed world.
