Hello StarKin- how is everyone doing? Looks like some are back, but you never know.
It’s Sunday! A day to relax so I don’t really want to rehash the uncle Tom & Jerry rigging post of earlier, but will add this bit about the SCOTUS’ Chief Judge John Robert’s middle finger to the Senate Judiciary Committee to talk about “commonsense proposals to hold Supreme Court justices to the same ethical standards as the rest of the federal judiciary.” I’ll leave you with this. CAPITAL CROOKS!
As I said, it’s Sunday! Yesterday, I went to Costco and they were selling Alaskan dungeness for $7.99/# whole, fully cooked, and knuckles with legs and claws for $9.99/# Alaskan is bigger and saltier (in my opinion) than what we generally get here. They also have a tougher shell and very sharp jagged pieces around the claws. Bitch bit back yesterday and I had to whip out the turmeric to staunch the bleeding on the finger (that does work by the way and is usually right there in the kitchen at the time you need it; I don’t paste it as suggested above; I just pour it over because I’m usually bleeding at the time). That hunk of crab never tasted so good!
This morning, I have all the cleaned meat ready to go and I thought I would give this Julia Child’s “hollandaise in a blender” a spin. I love a good crab benedict but detest the generally soggy muffin. That’s the best thing about making it yourself – you can make your way.
It’s a chill day so let’s part with some chill music, an oldy-but-goody from DJ Krush.
*update: I did not make eggs benedict. But I can say the blender hollandaise recipe is a definite keeper! So easy, so delicious. I added dried tarragon to the blender.
Here’s a real fine Sunday Supper: filet mignon, dungeness crab and hollandaise sauce. It only needs some asparagus to call it “Oscarized.” Wish you were here to enjoy it with me!
Thank you for reading today's post. Have an InterStellar Day! ~PrP
