    Hollandaise for dummies

    Saucy!

    Saucy!

    The chickens are laying again, the greens and onions are up, and the days are getting longer: Brunch season is here. I've been practicing a simple dish of poached eggs served on a bed of spinach and asparagus, garnished with crispy pieces of salt pork or bacon. Sometimes I drench the whole business in a blanket of hollandaise sauce. Or more often, it’s a blanket of failed hollandaise that I resurrect to perfection with mayonnaise and a microwave. Read all about it in this week’s Food section.

      Breaking Balls

      While Walter White might resemble an undersized Kevin Youkilis, he doesn't exactly cut a sporting figure. And Jesse Pinkman fielding hot grounders at shortstop? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. What about the icy glare of Heisenberg staring you down from the pitcher's mound, or DEA Agent Hank Schrader coming at you with a bat? Who would want to argue a call with crime lord Gus Fring? You can put these fictional questions to the test on Saturday as Bryan Cranston, members of "Breaking Bad" and celebs such as Lou Diamond Phillips host a charity softball game at Isotopes Park at 5:30 p.m. tonight. The celebs will be playing against the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team, vets who've lost limbs in combat. All proceeds will benefit their organization and Disabled American Veterans. Add a ’Topes game following right after, and you've got a double-header. My prediction? The celebs will take a Pinkman-esque beatdown.

      Staging the Southwest

      The late Santa Fe playwright James Galloway left quite the theatrical imprint; the actors and actresses that have appeared in his plays refer to themselves as the "Galloway Players." The Kosmos (1715 Fifth Street NW) stages a tribute to Galloway in the form of Revelations, directed by an alum of the now-defunct University of Albuquerque (and an original Galloway Player), Annetta Jordan. The comedy-drama takes five characters on a personal quest through rural New Mexico during the year 1900. Tickets for the final two performances are $15, $12 for students and seniors, with shows today at 8 p.m. and tomorrow at 4 p.m. For more on the play and the extensive works of James Galloway, visit thegallowayplayers.com.

      "I Saw You," a perfect dragon lily

      Who saw? Who was seen? Was it you?

      Reply or see more “I Saw You” ads at alibi.com/personals

      K.V. Yeah You!

      You are illuminated candlelight in the hallways of darkness. All rough surface smoothes when lips crush and hearts strike a beat in symbiotic rhapsody. Let the ocean slam itself onto the silk of the sand, grasping with its fingertips to love’s shore until it can return with the next momentary wave. I am a perfect disaster, but you are a perfect dragon lily. This one is for you.

      MIA: Cyclist from Casa Solana

      You lived in Casa Solana in Santa Fe, and now I live just a hop, skip and jump from there. You moved to ABQ while I moved from ABQ. You miss seeing your friends to the north; and I to the south. You enjoy a visit to your parents in the City Different, and I remain attached to my mother at the hip. We agree that the bike paths of ABQ are exceptional for you who rides a road bike and for me who requires fat tires for security and stability. We have been two ships passing without touching.

      Of desert sands, shawarma and unsolicited badgering

      To the young lass I was standing in line with at Sahara's today who mistakenly thought I wanted to be lectured on the evils of birth control and how the world should be populated as God intended it to be … while you were kind of easy on eyes, I have to tell you that you needn't worry about contraception. You have your personality. Hope you enjoyed your tika sandwich more than I enjoyed meeting you.

      Jessica With Sad Eyes

      I know you're going through a lot. Don't worry your pretty little head, it will pass. I thought I'd let you know that I see you, in all of your radiating beauty. You are more powerful than you realize. It is a true gift to have your pleasant presence in my life, though they are small, fleeting moments. You are absolutely gorgeous. Do not discredit who you are. You are loved and appreciated. Keep your head high.

        Hollandaise is one of the most decadent sauces out there. It's rich without being greasy, and it’s tart with citrus and vinegar. Served warm, it improves the flavor of whatever it touches. Here's a lesson in creating the tricky sauce.
        Ralph Fiennes gets no points for giving the annoyingly commonplace modern slant to his Shakespeare-derived directorial debut. He does, however, get credit for choosing what is arguably the Bard's most obscure play, the militant revenge saga Coriolanus.
