Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A few weeks ago i expressed my love for Bearnaise, by adding it to my list of Swedish things I miss (it's not actually Swedish though).
For about a week now I have had a serious craving and so tonight I decided, is the night to calm my desires. To be properly prepared I even made sure to get a few tips from Sedir (the prestigious master of Bea and also founder of the fb group The Bearnaise Association)
Unfortunately, basically everything went wrong.
I used apple cider vinegar instead of normal vinegar, and I added 2 decilitres instead of 2 table spoons, which was probably about 5000% more than needed (got a little cocky and thought, what the heck, I'll freestyle).
The onion was of the wrong kind (might seem like a minor problem, but in the eyes of a real Bearnaise enthusiasts I am sure this is a serious felony). I had no tarragon (which is basically the main thing). I didn't have enough butter and compensated this with spreadable margarine and then obviously forgot the damn bowl in the microwave and thus boiled the butter/margarine pretty aggressively.
After the whisking, mixing simmering procedures, as the grand finale; I managed to split the sauce.
I have insulted Bearnaise.
FAIL. In every way possible.
I don't even have to mention that I forgot the veg in the oven til the whole tray was burnt, overcooked my spring onions and also used my skillz to get the meat really chewy.
But thats okay cos I made up for it by shaking my booty a little in the kitchen, and all was suddenly good again!
we ordered pizza
no we didn't but to be honest I feel like giving the money I spent on ingredients to a homeless crack addict could have been a better idea. okay probably not, but still.
ROCK ON JO!
(still love myself)
that dance was seriously entertaining
