Curdled Fish! What did I do wrong?

[Dozeynoo]

I made Annabel Karmel's fish pie recipe this evening from her 'Super Foods' book. However by the time I finished poaching the fish the sauce had a distinctly curdled look to it - tasted OK though - but I don't know why.

I fried the onion and tomato in sunflower oil as opposed to the stated butter. Added the fish, covered with milk (it was only semi-skimmed not full-fat) added bay leaf and parsley and simmered for 4 mins.

Was it the oil? Was it the semi-skimmed milk? Should I have heated the milk first?

Any ideas?

the wrath of Annabel did verily visit you for your affronting deviations

lol
The poaching liquid would usually be made into asauce by adding flour. Did this not get done??

Hey! Suzy. A very belated 'Thankyou' for the Chilli recipe. The littlies loved it.

oh good-o

talking of food I am being nagged by ds2 for american style breakfast pancakes and I have no eggs, they won't work without will they?

Annabel's perfectly manicured fists will be shaking at you as we speak, Dozeynoo.

Hmmm,shouldn't think so.

You cannot make a pancake without breaking eggs, IME.

he's got a dry icecream cone from the cupboard now

I shall of course be blaming the pair of you for keeping me on here

I wish I could stay off fucking MN and get on with my life.......

but you are in Eastern Turkey arent' you?

what the F else are you supposed to do

Blame away. I am a super mummy with eggs in my 'fridge. None in my ovaries though it would seem, unfortunately.

Sorry SW. Not what you need to read at this time of your day, eh?!

No sw.Another winter in Van would have me certified.
In Wales.
Thing is.....I've done everything that needs to be done and I mean everything!!!
Suppose it doesn't register that high on a list of criminal activities.

Don't go, moondog. You make me larf.

shuddup about your eggs

I have taken the icecream cones off ds2 and told him he won't get another one until he eats his cereal and drinks his juice, Now I can get back to my fags and gin and MN with a clear conscience

So you're in Wales are you? Well swings and roundabouts

Get this...I even sewed buttons onto misc. garments this morning,went to the gym and prepared beeeyootiful roast chicken and vegetable ce soir.

I am turning into Martha Stewart.....

you are a proper lady

I sometimes watch a bit of Martha, only sometimes as she really has nothing better to do that make a layer cake from a stack of 32 chocolate pancakes stuck toether with cream and then ice it with butter and choc, ffs, while talking to Fran Drescher. And she often has her sleeves dangling in the food which I really can't abide.
