Sounds like it was very good, Elaine! What did you serve with it?

Well I had bought asparagus and was going to make a hollandaise sauce. In
the end I decided I had enough sauces so just made a caesar salad and had
cauliflower with cheese & breadcrumbs (broiled at the end).

Tonight -- asparagus and hollandaise and something else. Veal scallopini I
think.
