Galen should have put in a comma af,ter ingredients. And I apologized to the tree. But the birds (or something MUCH larger ) has made off with the loaf.
J0 - that's my kind of cheese sauce. I then stick it in the microwave and it cooks well without going lumpy. Stansgran, I've been known to make that kind of loaf. But I never took it out on a tree.
Awww....we all get weeks like that............mind you I sort of lost the knack of pastry for what seemed ages but have now got it back with avengence!
I've had a week of rubbish cooking. A loaf like a brick which when I threw it out for the birds knocked a branch off a tree,an easy five cup cake in which I only put four ingredients and a complicated stuffed rolled belly of pork which I burnt. So a turned roux is not all bad.
Or you can make a sort of tartare sauce by mixing a little bit of finely chopped onion/gerkin/garlic and a little mustard and perhaps a dash of worcestershire sauce if liked into mayonnaise. Also in the supper I tart up mayo by adding finely chopped herbs to it. Dill is especially good but any mixture of parsley, chive, tarragon is yummy!
A cooking talent I didn't know I had – I just curdled a roux I was making for a cheese sauce! That's a first! I guess that bit of cream I was 'using up' was 'turning'. Hey ho.
Fortunately there's a jar of tartare sauce kicking around for us to have with the fish
