Really good. The grocery stores in our area are on strike, so I had to ad lib some of the ingredients. Canned potatoes instead of fresh, and no creamed corn for example. Also, I used white wine instead of water to make the slurry with the flour. But it was great, nevertheless. Even better for lunch the next day. Thanks Kim.
