So I started setting up to videotape myself making Artichokes with Hollandaise Sauce, and got very angry at my day, so threw the laptop back at the couch. But, things that happened:
I discovered I LOVE artichokes. Where have they been all my life?
However, Alton lied when he said that the stem of the artichoke tastes as good as the heart. Lies. It tastes like wood. Unless I didn't peel it far enough.
I made a perfect hollandaise. Perfection. Too bad I, apparently, do not like hollandaise. But I am very proud of how it turned out.
I got my first cooking-related injury. I was cutting the fuzzies (actually called the "choke," but it just looks like hair.) off of the artichoke heart, and my finger got in the way. I now cannot do dishes because putting water on my finger stings hardcore.
Overall, a nice turn to an otherwise rather frustrating day.
wow, that must have tasted good, i have a problem, i am a nigerian girl who would love to cook meals like this, but how? i do not have the reciepe for it, can u help me pls?, (my name is Boluwatife Akinola, and my number is 08084836070, pls call)
