My Right Arm Just Fell Off...

Sauce Hollandaise, Sauce Bearnaise and Mayonnaise have one thing in common. They need to be whisked for what feels like a day and a half.
That's what we did last night, with great results. The Hollandaise was a dream, just the right consistency - as was the Bearnaise. The Mayonnaise was no Hellmann's - it was better.
We also made various stocks, the fish stock takes the cake in terms of grossness.
We had a bunch of Snapper carcasses to degore (rinse blood etc.).
This was the first time I got to use the Parisienne Scoop or Melon Baller. I always envisioned myself using this nifty little tool to cut out beautiful balls out of a melon to decorate a dessert platter or maybe make a fruit salad.
Nope! I had to use it to carve out the marble-sized eyes of a dead fish.

Melon balls will never be the same.

Thursday will be a tough one. We have a big test which will include writing a recipe (Eyeball consommee anyone?).
Until then I should propably learn to write with my left hand because my right arm is still involuntarily whisking imaginary egg yolks.
