I have read all of your blog posts and have enjoyed reading them, but when I came to this one...I honestly did not think it was a joke...I almost went to grab my copy of the book to find this recipe. I had been showing a girl at work how delicious and fresh these preparations are and when she saw the packaged hollandaise mix she was all like "I told you that it was just as good from the packet" I was shocked, backpeddling, I was freaking out...how would I convince these feeders that I was right about food and they were wrong. Then you saved me. thanks...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4543389752792247888.post-76427621453286169662009-07-10T16:42:47.803-04:002009-07-10T16:42:47.803-04:00I knew this had to be some sick, twisted joke!
