Basic White Sauce
3 pre-frozen cubes of reduced stock or 3 T vegetable stock
4 T unbleached flour
1 slice onion or 1 t chopped shallots
2 cups nonfat milk
1/3 cup dry nonfat milk

allow to brown.
Remove from heat, add milks, bay leaf, thyme, white pepper, and
vegetable seasoning. Return to heat, stirring constantly until
mixture coats the spoon. If desired, add wine and simmer 5 minutes
more to evaporate alcohol. [ahem .... this won't really get rid of all
the alcohol -mrd]
