Potatoes, Corn, Broccoli & Cauliflower with Hollandaise

Day 104

Came home from work all hangry and pissy and in the mood for some butter. Well, not just butter, obviously...food with butter on it. My real motivation was the other half of that broccoli which was probably not going to last more than another couple days. I couldn't even think of it without imagining it smothered in Hollandaise sauce.

Get 'er Done

So, I peeled a couple potatoes, washed and cut the broccoli florets, and then for some reason, also opened the bag of corn which had been in the freezer for months. It was a bit freezer-burnt, not gonna lie, but it was okay. Good with some butter and black pepper.

Relatively Quick Meal

Altogether, everything took about 20 - 25 minutes to cook. Five minutes to bring salted water to a boil, another 15 or so to cook the potatoes in it.  Meanwhile, I steamed the broccoli and cauliflower, which was only about a 10 minute thing. The corn went in next, in a bit of water and butter, on medium low. Last, I melted the butter for the Hollandaise, and by the time it came to a simmer, all I had to do was add the water and the packet and bring it back to a simmer.

Done? Good, Let's Eat

Everything was ready and man, was I ready to eat. Oh! And I also served it with Lady Ashburnhams just to make it more perfect.

Just Pour Some Hollandaise on That

I have to stop eating so much. I swear to God, just pour Hollandaise over something and I will eat until my stomach bursts...almost.

It's no Eat Street, but it was sinfully, starchily delicious and it punched my butter craving in the throat!

I give it a 9.
