It is really easy to do. but I can save you some work when you make the rue. mix your oil and flour in a pot that you will cook in. Place that in the oven at 350 and stir every 20 minutes until the color of chocolate. while this is cooking you can slice and dice everything else. big time saver.

please let me know what you think of it.
