Hollandaise, Attempt #2

Sorry Betty Crocker , but Julia Child could totally kick your butt in a celebrity cage match if your only weapon was your H ollandaise sauce recipe. Thanksgiving morning I decided to make Eggs Benny for me and the kids because, hey, who doesn't want to make an elaborate breakfast on a day full of elaborate cooking? So started Hollandaise attempt #2. ( read about my first ever attempt ) I pulled out my trusty bright orange, 1986 edition of the Betty Crocker cookbook and thumbed to the proper page. Strangely, it was nestled up against the asparagus section. Please note, there is a microwave option. I made it per Betty's somewhat vague instructions. Topped my eggs, ham and English muffin. Dug in. Asked the kids their opinion. The foodie kids that they are, they had many: too lemony, good consistency, too salty Apparently, this one is to be struck from the book.

Unfortunately, the KJ didn't have any Hole (aka Courtney Love aka Kurt Cobian's widow) because her voice is about as bad as...

Find the Perfect Poutine

Complete 21 July 2018 I did it. The perfect #poutine . I knew I would know it when I found it. Despite Doubters and others. The Green Spot in Montreal...cheese, gravy, fries, atmosphere, everything. My quest is done. https://www.instagram.com/p/BlfVcMbB5WY0LVdgwHoAnNL0ijaLTMHLXJczMk0/ Ok, so I know this isn't really a measurable goal, that really when it comes down to it, it is subjective and based on things like how drunk you were when you were eating it. Whatever... It is more about continuing the quest rather than actually finding the perfect poutine because then what would I do? Beginning the Poutine Quest March 24, 2011 By admin Poutine… was there ever a more perfect combination of sauce, cheese and starch? I think not. For the past year I have been on a crusade… a quest so to speak, to find the perfect poutine. For those of you untutored in this Quebecois delicacy, I quote Wikipedia (because, really who else know the answers...
