Saturday 2 May
Today was the Kentucky Derby, and
we celebrated in the traditional manner, drinking fresh mint juleps while
watching the race on TV. American
Pharoah won instead of our chosen Carpe Diem, but we managed to drown our
sorrows in juleps.
For dinner, we defrosted a couple
of fillets of sole (luckily, Trader Joe's is now selling packets of frozen sole
that are usable by two people), folded in half with sorrel in between, dusted
with flour and pan-fried.
On the side, we tried the AltonBrown method of nuking asparagus, but using the thick purple asparagus we got
at Kroger; it took closer to five than four minutes, but was every bit as good
with hollandaise sauce.
