Ha! Well, Kim says I’m kind of schizophrenic when it comes to my cooking. THings either go really well, and I’m well chuffed. Or they go horribly awry and I just bitch and moan.

so this morning I decided to try my hand at eggs benedict. despite the fact that I’ve never poached an egg before in my life…

they came out scrummy!!! crumpets are not as ideal as english muffins, but worked okay. the eggs poached fine (if a little wonky looking) the bacon was easy. and the hollandaise, which is sooo tetchy (whiskwhiskwhiskwhisk like your life depends on it!), came out lovely, if maybe a tiny bit too thick.

I’d love to try them with smoked salmon instead of the bacon… but definitely a “treat” weekend food, since I think i’ve inhaled my cholesterol allowance for the next 4 months…
