i think i'm gonna be good at cholent, when i get the proportions right

i put the potatoes [1.5 pounds]
the shallots [.5 pound]
the fava beans [.75 cup]
the barley [.25 cup]
the wine [1 cup]
{you knew i was gonna add wine, right}
and
spices:
cumin seed
fennel seed
rosemary
thyme
herbs de provence
spike
hungarian paprika
[i don't have quantities for spices]

when i got home and checked it
it was still mostly liquid
and
it didn't seem
to have many beans or barley

so i added barley [.5 cup]
but i don't know if it will cook long enough
not to be really good
i'm cooking another [.75 cup] of beans
to add

the broth
tastes
really really good
and
it's thickening up now

i think this one may not come out as well
because i'm adding
after the fact
but
i think
i'm gonna like it

just added:
garlic
black pepper
white pepper
salt
more spike
