Hollandaise Sauce

Made the blender Hollandaise sauce yesterday to top the crab cakes Katie made. Was very yummy.

I've made this before and it's so easy and so good. Can't believe it turns out so very creamy.

Okay, let's catch up!

I made the gnocchi. I don't think I followed the directions exactly because it turned out a little mushy. I will make it again, this time paying more attention to details.

This morning I'm making cheese puffs with leftover chaux paste (that I used for the gnocchi). I'll let you know how it turns out. I think it'll be yummy.

I'm loving this cookbook.

Stay tuned for more. I'm headed to Katie's this Thursday and we'll be cooking more!!!

Chicken Fricasse

Made scrambled eggs for breakfast this morning. The trick is low heat, a teaspoon of butter and cook til just barely done. Heaven.

Just looked thru Julia's cookbook and am going to make an Old Fashioned Chicken Fricasse with white wine cream sauce and vegetables for dinner. Looks yummy. Its basically cut up chicken browned in a little butter, and baked in the oven then add pearl onions and mushrooms and finish the sauce with stock, white wine, and cream.

Wish me luck!
