Chocolate Pudding and Percy

[icarus]

I'm a cooking fiend this week. I've made soup stock from scratch, spagetti sauce from scratch, my own pizza dough, and - you guessed it - sauce and thus pizza from scratch. An ultra-hot thai dish two nights ago.

Did you know mayonaise is just egg yolk, oil and a little mustard, lemon and vinegar? And a hell of a lot of stirring. Shit, I stirred through two episodes of That 70's Show, Enterprise, and Law and Order before I was finally done.

But now I know how to make mayonaise.

Tonight: I'm making chocolate mousse, from a half-remembered recipe. Hey, I had the egg whites left over from Mayo, right?

I have an idea for a Harry/Percy story. Of all things.

Ooh, Harry/Percy sounds promising.

I love that feeling of accomplishment in making something that most people have never made, like mayo. It's like you've discovered some long-lost secret.

Bonus points if the Harry/Percy situation involves mayonnaise!

Chocalate Pudding on Percy...I mean...

Blender Mayonaisse:
1 egg
2-3 tablespoon fresh lemon or good aged vinegar
2 tablespoons good mustard
1 cup excellent olive oil
Salt and Pepper

Put the first 3 in a blender and let rip. Add a spoon or two of oil at a time to the mixture; when it start to thicken , add the lot slowly until you have a lovely yellow sauce.
It should take no more than 5 minutes.

Yep, mayo's just an egg-based emulsion. You can make a pretty good egg-free version if you replace the egg yolk with soft tofu. (Yeah, yeah, I know. :P I'm allergic to the eggs, okay?) A food processor is the easiest way I know to make it - just drizzle the oil in slowly once you've added the acid and the seasonings. Mmm... chemistry...

If you screw up the chocolate mousse, there's always angel food cake! Mmm... cake...

Funny, I was just thinking about Percy, as I was finding rare (and medium rare) slash stories to rec, and there are some great Percy/insert male object of desire stories out there. And your great Snape/Percy one is one of my absolute favourites: I didn't rec it, but you know that I love it boundlessly and will rec it when I do a huge round up of all your work.

I'd love to see Percy's canon bossiness and pomposity (and being a stickler for the rules) be used in a story, *and* for him to be a top ... that would be hilarious.

Here's a really good Ron-centric story that I thought you might like: ‘Screwed’ by Slytherlynx. Damn you all, you might convert me to liking Ron yet.

Well...if anyone could make me love that pairing it would be you. However I'd be lying if I didn't say I was still hopeing for more Harry/Snape. *begs pretty*

Harry/Percy - intriguing!

Chocolate mousse recipe? Please?
