Yeah, well, if there'd been a bottle of merlot OPEN. . .

OK -- I was flying blind on the quantity.

The turkey stock shoulda been clam or fish stock.

Yeah, well, what I HAVE is turkey broth in frozen ice cube form.

Ppfftt!, what I *want* is more of the TJ stuff. I have no desire to
make *perfect* cioppino -- *good enough* is good enough. :-) So maybe
