At the tail-end of winter, I'm often tempted to buy out-of-season produce flown in from far-flung regions.

Well, that's just the sort of meandering my brain does when I am out walking Ginger -- it occurred to me that Colonel Mustard would need a hearty dish like this after a busy day of either solving or committing murders.
