Fat can have a flavor of its own, but it's not likely
to have any butteriness unless there's a substantial
dairy component.

Canoleo had no dairy component, but was made from canola oil... which I
guess what imparted the nice flavor...

Unless the canola didn't have the erucic acid taken
out, it shouldn't have had much flavor in itself.

We just tried working with her to get her back onto the bbs today...
she'd brought in her little computer with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to church.... there seemed to be some incompatibilities between her browser, the church's wifi, and the bbs... A further session will be planned later this week at her house... :)

Nothing in this technological jungle coordinates
seamlessly with anything else.

Way too true.... sigh... We ran into that again when we went over to
her house, armed with Richard's Windows10 laptop... Syncterm didn't want
to work nicely on either machine (hers or Richard's) to connect to

I'm not so sure about modern versions of Windows.

Tiny's... She did manage to get back onto Tiny's a number of times after
we left, and read some messages and did send a couple of replies...
another session will be scheduled soon, I'm thinking... :)

With fewer if any empty messages, I hope. Anyway,
say hi.

Asparagus-hazelnut salad
categories: celebrity, starter
Serves: 6

3 L water
90 g salt
2 bn English asparagus
- trimmed and peeled where necessary
h - For the mayonnaise
2 egg yolks
10 g water
5 g Dijon mustard
12 g lemon juice
8 g chardonnay vinegar
3 g salt
1 g sugar
150 g vegetable oil
100 g extra virgin rapeseed oil
5 g dried meadowsweet 5g,
100 g toasted hazelnuts, crushed and lightly salted

Ollie Dabbous' English asparagus, virgin rapeseed oil
mayonnaise, toasted hazelnuts and meadowsweet recipe

Bring the water and salt to a rapid boil and add the
asparagus. Return to a fast simmer and blanch for 3 min.
Check a spear, and, if cooked to your taste, remove all
the spears with a slotted spoon and plunge into iced
water to arrest the cooking. Drain once cool; don't
keep in the iced water longer than necessary. Keep at
room temperature for serving.

To make the mayonnaise, place all the ingredients apart
from the oils in a container and blend. Gradually blend
in the oils until thick and homogeneous. Chill.

Serve the asparagus with the mayonnaise, topped with a
generous sprinkle of the meadowsweet. Place a mound of
hazelnuts alongside. Eat by dipping the asparagus spears
first into the mayonnaise and then into the hazelnuts.

Dunno how it was made... possible it was left in...

I'm not so sure about modern versions of Windows.

I personally avoid them all, as you know... Richard has different
machines running different OSes, the Windows10 mostly so that he can
keep up with developments, and there are a few things such as certain
webpages that seem to not work anymore on earlier versions, or with
linux or dos...

Will do. I'm thinking quoting messages is the next lesson we need to
do... ;) I've not tried to do that so much in the editor on Tiny's,
only used it that I remember to leave a fresh message there.... so I may
have to do a little checking out to figure out how to reply to a quoted
message in that editor... I do remember that some are a bit tricky....
