Yesterday I decided to repeat a culinary success I had gained last week. I had made Beurre Blanc and it had been met with rave reviews. Therefore I confidently pulled out the wine, vinegar, butter and headed for the stove.
It started well, I reduced the wine, vinegar, shallots and then added the butter..... Then my daughter got her foot stuck in the door. I mean she was half in the house and half out of the house with her foot caught in the door. I rescued her and then added the butter. Then another child managed to firmly embed a hairbrush into their sibling's head of hair. This took me a few minutes to remove. When I returned to my sauce, the gently heated liquid was at full boil and separated..... disaster.
"Never fear", I thought, "I'll just add butter!"
If you have been counting the amount of times I added butter....well you get the picture. At the end of the day my fine culinary success was creamy, yellow and just.........butter.
I handled it in a very mature manner......I sulked.
I saved it...I will use it for something I am sure!
tonight I am reading about fish and shellfish and the many ways to murder a lobster! EWWWWW!
Cheers
Christine
