Cassoulet promises

The afternoon sun came through the red panes and onto the brass pot, drawing my attention to its unusedness.  
Nico wanted to make a cassoulet for Christmas, but the Polfagiens invited themselves and a goose, so we capitulated.  
Nico's cassoulet cooks for two days in the embers.  Apparently.  He's been promising it for the past six years and I'm still waiting.
