Pingalingy-ding-dong back atcha.

I break some of the rules, too -- like throwing stuff all together and a nuke/whip/repeat technique for custard and/or pastry cream bases instead of taking the time to temper the eggs, etc. But I also keep taste in mind, and keep slimy little fishies out of my bases. I prefer lemon juice. (Of course, Blumenthal is now a lot richer than I because of his adventurousness. LOL)

Chef won't allow a microwave in the kitchen, so we have to do things the traditional way.

Sardines are a major avoidance with me - but anchovies are another story altogether!!!

Which reminds me, I used the last of my anchovy paste yesterday while I was noshing!!!!
