So, Mike's away this weekend, and some daytimes week, which means that I get to eat lots of tasty things that he doesn't like.

I'd already pencilled in a nice bit of salmon*, and Mike pointed out that I could have a nice poached duck egg on a muffin, so I went to put Hollandaise sauce on the shopping list and then thought "hmmmm...."

* And some chicken livers if I can get them. But not relevant here.

The first recipe looked very tedious (whisk the ingredients for fifteen minutes over a pan of simmering water) but I was more taken with the second (put a pint of boiling water in your food processor. Turn it on briefly then throw it away. Now add the ingredients). But they had different ingredients, as did all of the other recipes in the other books. One book even had two different sets of ingredients. So: eggs, lemon juice, butter. Then what? Wine vinegar? Mustard? Shallots? Sugar? Salt and pepper? Something else entirely? What's the One True Recipe?

Fight!

Oh, is that the whiff of badger poo that I detect?

We had a very heavy bit of rain in the early hours, and it was a bit rainforestey out in the woods at lunch time:


The girls are now being a bit better about going outside, and they've done a very good job on their feed today. Duckies:


(Is anyone else finding that Gmail's spam filters are less good than they used to be? Today, I've even had some Flexible Hose and Chris Garcia Pure Garcinia make it to my inbox.)
