The Egg Files

We actually did this episode and the next one (Salad Daze) on the same night.  And yes, we were good little boys and girls and ate our dinner first, but this episode comes first in the chronology of the show so deal.

The above is part two, make sure to catch part one as well.

Mis en place! (Yes, that’s a whole stick of butter)

Jill’s superb zesting of this lemon is second only to her zest for Peter (Ed Note: Peter wrote this line)

Twelve-plus minutes of stirring is taxing on anybody but the seasoned chef, or perhaps an octopus. We basically worked on the WWF “tag-team” style of taking turns, taking three or so minutes each at a time.

The last of butter melts in as the curd takes on a glossy sheen.

While preparing to take this picture, Jill discovered that our camera has a “cuisine” setting which she promptly employed.  I think it came out pretty well – what do you think?

Oh, did I forget to mention how it tasted? I’d say it was a perfect balance of lemon tartness and buttery smoothness.  The best part is that, according to AB, it will last a month in the fridge so we don’t have to feel guilty about not eating it all in just a couple days!
