Thank you, Rapaire! No dairy (arthritis), and I forgot to mention no spinach (gout), but I might be able to adapt that. Will the cod actually survive the long, slow cooking? I guess I should try to find some fresh rather than frozen, which shouldn't be impossible here in California.

(Yes, Jimmy, now that you mention it, with all his dietary restrictions my husband IS a bit of a crackpot. But how did you know?)
