Mmm.

Made Eggs Benedict for breakfast today, following Delia's recipe. Delia Smith, if you've not heard of her, is a BBC TV cook who's very good at explaining how to make basic dishes as well as elaborate ones and staying calm no matter what. Me, I am very good at getting frustrated and bickering, so you can see that I need Delia in my life.

The Eggs Benedict worked out really well - we used fresh Turkish pide instead of toasted muffins, and while the poached eggs were a failure (probably because they were supermarket eggs and not fresh enough, or because I've never poached an egg in my life), we didn't care and just gently fried some instead. The bacon was fine and the foaming Hollandaise sauce...whoo. That looked just as it does in the picture, I swear, and tasted divine. And you can reheat it and even freeze the remainder, so we're going to do that and wait for asparagus season. Yum.

Thank you so much, both for Delia, and for the link to the Hollandaise sauce recipe! I have asparagus and eggs in the fridge. Now I know what lunch will be.

Oh, hurray! I hope the lunch surpasses expectations. :-)
