So we used the letter B the other morning.... James has taken to making eggs Benedict lately and today he wanted to try the accompanying hollandaise sauce... I was supportive though not particularly excited.
He found the recipe online.
I boiled the water for the eggs.
A LOT of butter goes into the sauce.
And some egg yolks.
And lemon juice.
James whisked the sauce in a metal bowl over a pan of boiling water.
Lots of whisking.
The sauce only called for the egg yolks and being a frugal family, we added the leftover whites to the eggs we would poach. Made it less neat and pretty but practical.
The homemade bread and the eggs.
James artistically plating the food. :)
Um.. pretty? Yes. Looks can be deceiving...
James eating his creation.
Me... loving, supportive wife. Pregnant, often sick, supportive, loving wife....
This meal did not go well...
We have come to a conclusion. Food like this was a primary reason for people fleeing England. :)
