A little bit of Italy comes to <strong>Bamford</strong><br />
<strong>Bamford</strong> Tennis club has decided to bring a little bit of Italy to <strong>Bamford</strong>. In reality it is more than a little bit and is<br />
in fact 10 tonnes which is the quantity of Italian clay they have imported and laid on their courts.<br />
The clay that has been imported is exactly the same as that laid on the courts which are used in the major International Tennis<br />
Federation tournaments at Monte Carlo and Rome.<br />
Clay courts have a reputation for being the best surface to learn and play tennis on. They provide a slow high bounce and are less<br />
stressful on the joints than other harder surfaces. Andy Murray had to travel all the way to Spain to practice on clay so just think if<br />
he was starting out today he could come to <strong>Bamford</strong>!<br />
The <strong>May</strong>or of Rochdale has kindly agreed to open the new courts at 2pm on the 29th <strong>May</strong> <strong>2017</strong> and anybody is welcome to<br />
attend and try out the courts for free on that day if they wish. If you can’t make that day, the same free offer is available every<br />
Saturday afternoon. Beginners are also welcome<br />
In an initiative to get more people playing tennis, <strong>Bamford</strong> Tennis club are introducing a number of offers to the public:-<br />
1) The first is entitled ‘Tennis for Kids’. Each course is held on a Tuesday night from 5.30 until 6.30 pm, lasts six<br />
weeks and is completely free. These courses are for five to eight year old children who have never played tennis<br />
before and at the end of each course every child receives a free racket. This is in addition to our junior tennis<br />
programmes which are held every Monday for older children and every Tuesday for younger children. Contact Peter<br />
on 07889 340234 for further details.<br />
2) The second is a reduction in senior yearly membership to £35 for the first year and £60 for the second year.<br />
3) The third is free junior membership for all children of an adult member!<br />
If you simply want to watch top class tennis, you can attend one of our National Club Matches free of charge. All the dates are<br />
listed on our website www.bamfordtennisclub.co.uk<br />

From the archives -<br />
The <strong>Norden</strong> Riviera<br />
As the decade of the 1930’s opened, boom times must have seemed to be well and truly a thing of a past and by<br />
1932 the number of registered unemployed in the North was as high as 70% in some areas of the North of England.Not<br />
until the mid-1930’s did things began to improve in cotton manufacture, the building trade and allied industries and<br />
against this backdrop a new consumerist society was starting to emerge delivering automatic washing machines,<br />
radios, vacuum cleaners and cars for a new working class needing ‘playgrounds’ in which to spend its time, whether<br />
these were in the form of cinemas, parks or swimming pools.<br />
This ‘leisure industry’ was apparent in Rochdale too where there were twelve cinemas,two theatres and dance halls such as the<br />
Carlton Ballroom. Health was also an established concern at that time and it was this mix of health and exercise that opened the<br />
way for lidos to be built nationally, supported by government funding with more than £2.5 million made available for local authorities.<br />
The <strong>Norden</strong> Riviera was part of this, but was a lido with an industrial past. Tenterhouse Dyeing and Bleaching Company in <strong>Norden</strong><br />
had been founded by Mr J T Taylor but included in his ownership was an area around Tenterhill to the north of Edenfield Road as<br />
well as the hillside immediately above the works which, until the 1920s, had been the site of anabandoned seminary. When Higher<br />
Tenterhouseand the nearby works were demolished in the early 1930’s, they abandoned land that had been made into a bowling<br />
green, tennis courts and badminton courts for the workers, and it was at this point that the directors of Old Manor (Pastimes) Ltd<br />
took a lease from Bleachers Association Ltd to convert the old bowling green into a swimming pool and the tennis courts and old<br />
pavilion into a tea room and café. The lease agreed, work commenced in 1934 on making this vision a reality.<br />
A meeting in November of 1935 decided that the venture was to be called<br />
‘The Riviera’although Rochdale people called it the Riviera from that time<br />
onward. Naming it as such was part of a trend at the time for all things<br />
continental. The plan put forward was that it would include not only a<br />
swimming ‘bath’ and a children’s paddling pool, but also gardens, a<br />
dance hall and tea room, badminton (in the main hall) and tennis courts,<br />
a nine-hole miniature golf course, indoor recreations and facilities for<br />
horse riding.<br />
The official opening of the <strong>Norden</strong> Riviera was on April 27th 1936 and<br />
included a Carnival Dance and a high diving display (2/6d admission).<br />
Dances, in the early days of the Riviera were popular and held every<br />
Saturday throughout July and August with a 3-piece band also engaged for Tuesday<br />
night sessions. Catering was supplied by Rochdale’s Bob Bon café until 1954 after which visitors could buy only tea and biscuits,<br />
minerals and ice cream.In the evening you could dance or be waited on at pool-side by page boys wearing white uniforms (with gilt<br />

Things never last though. By 1942, parts of the Riviera buildings and diving boards were in serious need of repair and at the end<br />
of the war arrangements were made for re-painting throughout and re-laying the café floor whilst other parts of the estate were<br />

patched up. By 1957 the condition of the pool and gardens was ‘very<br />
bad’and this coincided with a national decline of the lido in the face<br />
of leisure alternatives, television in particular. When overseas travel<br />
became popular, local attractions such as the <strong>Norden</strong> Riviera became<br />
less popular again.<br />
Attendance through the 1950’s and 1960’s had been sporadic, but<br />
on good days the place would be packed, the Rochdale Observer<br />
reporting that ‘In 1961 there were over 3000 paying visitors to the<br />
site,’ the Riviera taking £200 on one Sunday alone. This, however,<br />
was an exception.<br />
Due to poor weather, changes in social culture and the rising cost<br />
of the lease, the Riviera closed as an operation in 1966, the Observer suggesting that Rochdale summers<br />
had never been hot enough to make it a money spinner and that although it had always just about ‘paid its way’ it had only<br />
returned a dividend to shareholders once or twice in its history and that was in the early years.<br />
Not with standing its position nestling within the windswept Pennine hills, the <strong>Norden</strong> Riviera would have provided great days out<br />
for many people in and around Rochdale eager to swim, dance or relax, and there must have been real sadness at its closure.<br />

Friends of Ashworth Valley<br />
Have Been Keeping Busy<br />
TFoAV have been buzy bees this last month, with the<br />
novel idea of installing a bee library in Ashworth.<br />
There will be a wonderful splash of colour and beautiful display<br />
of flowers at Higher Clough, Carr Wood this summer, as<br />
perennial wildflowers and herbs are to be sown around and<br />
beneath our bee library book nests.<br />
These will provide an additional source of pollen for the solitary<br />
bees.<br />
These book nests are designed to create dwellings for solitary<br />
bees which are excellent pollinators and sadly in decline.<br />
We would like to thank RBC, Enforcement Team and our 3<br />
Ward Councillors, for securing funding for the installation of the<br />
high fencing, plus additional signage warning against fly<br />
tipping.<br />
We have been running a campaign against dog fouling in<br />
Ashworth Valley, placing flags where serial offenders allow<br />
their dogs to foul. It is still an offence and carries a £75 fine,<br />
even on the grass verges and country lanes.<br />
Did you know, there is a serious risk of Toxocariasis which can<br />
cause serious illness, and can even lead to blindness, especially<br />
in children.<br />
BAG IT AND BIN IT IN THE BINS PROVIDED<br />
Many thanks to Streetwise for sponsoring this barrel. All our<br />
planters and flowers in Ashworth are looking splendid.<br />
If you would like to get involved or join our group you can contact<br />
us via Facebook or e mail our secretary at Martinwhiteley007@btinternet.com or Telephone – 07500 241735.<br />

ASHWORTH REVISITED<br />
ASHWORTH'S OWN<br />
COTTON FAMINE STORY<br />
In the 1860's, the Ashworth Estate was owned by the Egertons.<br />
Lord Egerton gave employment to workers from local cotton mills facing hardship caused by the cotton famine brought about by<br />
the American Civil War.<br />
Lord William-Tatton-Egerton - 1806-to-1883.<br />
He owned the Ashworth Estate at the time.<br />

Ashworth Road was<br />
laid with cobble setts.<br />
New Road at the Rake before<br />
it became School Lane<br />
A road (New Road as it was called, later becoming School Lane) was cut from<br />
Bagslate to join Ashworth Road at Ridd and a pack horse stone bridge was laid<br />
across Naden Brook at Carr Wood.<br />
Isn't it a shame that those stone setts are now covered with tarmac, although they<br />
can still be seen at the bottom of the numerous potholes!<br />

Belt Action Group<br />
Hundreds of People Turned out for Green Belt Rally<br />
Action Committee members of 'Save <strong>Bamford</strong> Green Belt' joined<br />
with 1,500 fellow protesters from across Greater Manchester, in<br />
Albert Square on Saturday 1st April, to oppose the Greater<br />
Manchester Spatial Framework which plans to build on Green<br />
Belt across Greater Manchester.<br />
The controversial plans revealed last year proposes to build<br />
225,000 new homes over the next 20 years, with<br />
approximately 750 planned to be built on <strong>Bamford</strong>'s beautiful<br />
Green Belt land, plus the 11 football pitches that are used by<br />
700 children per week at Bridge Football Club. Anne Shorrock<br />
(Founding Member of the <strong>Bamford</strong> Green Belt Action Group)<br />
said: "We are not against houses being built but they must be<br />
affordable houses and in the right places, not on Green Belt<br />
land. Once this land is gone it is gone forever, and we have to<br />
think of the generations that will follow".<br />
A number of speakers addressed the passionate crowds at the<br />
Rally including the Chair of Save Greater Manchester Green Belt,<br />
Steven Longden, who did a fantastic job of rallying the<br />
supporters and spoke with great conviction, James Mason from<br />
Bury Green Belt Group who delivered a passionate speech, a<br />
member of Community Voice on Planning, a member of Save<br />
Chadderton Green Belt, and Jacquie Copley from the Campaign<br />
to Protect Rural England.<br />
Steve Lord member of campaign group Save Greater<br />
Manchester’s Greenbelt (SGMGB) steering committee quoted<br />
“We got 1,500 people into the middle of Manchester on a rainy<br />
day”.<br />

“Hopefully council leaders are going to sit up and<br />
take notice. They need to have a long hard look at<br />
the responses that have come in and to investigate<br />
the potential for brownfield sites to be used instead<br />
of green belt.<br />
The council had suggested that only 70% of these<br />
will be on brownfield sites, the question is why are<br />
their aspirations so low?<br />
So far the council has received 27,000 responses<br />
opposing their plans.<br />
The proposed development does not just impact<br />
<strong>Bamford</strong> but sites across Greater Manchester including<br />
land in Cowlishaw in Oldham, New Carrington in<br />
Trafford, land south of the M62 in Bury and Rochdale,<br />
Walshaw in Bury, Sidebottom Fold in Tameside, High<br />
Lane in Stockport, land around Flixton Station in<br />
Trafford, Western Cadishead and Irlam in Salford, Little<br />
Moss and Ashton Moss in Tameside, the Robert Fletchers<br />
site in Oldham and land off Junction 26 of the M6 in<br />
Wigan.<br />
Over the coming weeks and months <strong>Bamford</strong> will be holding a<br />
number of events starting with a Coffee & Cake Morning at<br />
<strong>Bamford</strong> Chapel on Saturday 8th of April at 10:00am and a Wine<br />
Tasting <strong>May</strong>. Events like this are key to raising campaign funds<br />
that may be critical for continued campaigning and potentially<br />
future legal fees. More than anything this is a great opportunity for<br />
the community to come along and hear the latest updates. The<br />
Save <strong>Bamford</strong> Green Belt Action Committee have asked that people<br />
please keep following the communications and posts on the 'Save<br />
<strong>Bamford</strong> Greenbelt' Facebook page, and continue to support the<br />
local and wider group events; as a community we absolutely need<br />
the support of all residents if we are to beat this.<br />

YOUR LOCAL POLICE UPDATE<br />
CRIME PREVENTION ADVICE.<br />
Six of the burglaries reported throughout March stated that the offenders had<br />
gained access to the rear garden and forced entry via the rear door and three<br />
reported that the offenders had used ladders or other climbing aids to gain<br />
access through an upstairs window.<br />
Your local Officers and PCSOs are treating burglary as a priority in this area<br />
and are actively working to reduce crime. Here are some tips to help keep your<br />
property more difficult for opportunist thieves:<br />
Only leave windows and doors open in rooms that you are in.<br />
Use light timers when out for the evening or leaving the house<br />
for an extended period of time.<br />
Always lock doors even when inside your home, or out of the<br />
house for a short time.<br />
Set an alarm when leaving the house.<br />
Keep your valuables out of view.<br />
Register your valuables on www.immobilise.com so property<br />
can be returned to its rightful owner if stolen.<br />
Never leave a spare key outside your house; burglars know all<br />
the usual hiding spots.<br />
Keep bins away from windows when they’re not being used as<br />
they can be used as a climbing aid for burglars.<br />
Don’t leave ladders in a spot that can be easily accessed as<br />
they can be used to aid criminals gain access.<br />
Consider putting up security lights, high trees and hedges<br />
provide you with privacy but they also provide a burglar with<br />
shelter when they are attempting to gain access.<br />
BOGUS OFFICIALS<br />
Some criminals won’t go to the trouble of breaking into your home if they can<br />
just knock and be invited in. They either distract the resident while they steal<br />
items or trick the person into paying too much for a simple job.<br />
Always look to see who is at the door before you open it -<br />
if you do not have glass in your front door, fitting a spy-hole<br />
door viewer will help.<br />
Install an outside light over your door to help you see any<br />
callers.<br />
Bogus callers come in many shapes and sizes. They could be<br />
children, women, and men in all types of clothing - from<br />
overalls to suits.<br />
Consider signing up to a Nominated Neighbour scheme.<br />
Arrange with a trusted neighbour or a member of your family<br />
who lives nearby to be your “Nominated Neighbour”. They will<br />
help confirm the identity of any person who calls at your door<br />
and accompany them into your home while they<br />
speak to you.<br />
Officials from gas, electricity and water<br />
companies never need to come into<br />
your home to test water pressure or<br />
repair a leak, even in an emergency.<br />
If for some reason they do need<br />
access, they will always send you a<br />
letter to make an appointment.<br />
The genuine meter readers from<br />
want you to check their identity<br />
before letting them in. Check their<br />
identity card. If in doubt ring up and confirm that the caller is genuine.<br />
Consider signing up to a password scheme - every time a meter reader calls<br />
they have to give the password you have arranged. The scheme is free. More<br />
advice can be found here:<br />

PENALTIES DOUBLED FOR USING A MOBILE WHILE DRIVING<br />
From 1st March <strong>2017</strong> drivers face six points on their licence and a £200 fine<br />
if they are caught using their mobile phone at the wheel.<br />
The new legislation also means newly qualified drivers may have their licence<br />
revoked on the first offence under the New Driver Act.<br />
Why…<br />
Using a mobile phone at the wheel not only endangers your life but also the<br />
lives of fellow road users.<br />
GMFRS Head of Prevention Paul Etches, said: “All too often our fire-fighters<br />
attend serious and life changing incidents caused by drivers being distracted<br />
whilst driving. Maintaining control of any vehicle at all times is the only way<br />
to reduce these often tragic outcomes.”<br />

In Bloom Effort For <strong>2017</strong> Rooted<br />
In Our Village<br />
Yet again <strong>Norden</strong> is the starting point for Rochdale`s entry in RHS Britain In Bloom. Judging<br />
Day will once again start with a visit to the Jubilee Park. The Park gave a brilliant start to the 2016<br />
Route, scoring a Level 5 "Outstanding” in it’s category. Improvements have continued in the area for <strong>2017</strong>,<br />
with the addition of a new, heritage notice board, in front of the Park being the latest evidence of<br />
renaissance.<br />
Moss Row Community Allotments will also<br />
have a major role to play in <strong>2017</strong>, with their<br />
enthusiastic Committee and members working<br />
hard to add new and exciting features to the<br />
formula which won them the highest accolade<br />
from the RHS Judges in 2016.<br />
For a number of years, the judging party has<br />
commented favourably on the efforts which<br />
local businesses go to that bring colour and<br />
vibrancy to the shopping area at the heart of<br />
<strong>Norden</strong>. We are all looking forward to the<br />
focus which NEEVA, under new Chairman, Paul<br />
Ellison, will be bringing to floral displays and<br />
hanging baskets in the key part of the Judging<br />
Route.<br />
For <strong>2017</strong>, the In Bloom Committee is keen to<br />
hear from any groups of residents close to the<br />
Village centre who have ideas or projects to<br />
enhance their environment and add to the<br />
favourable impression which we hope the<br />
Judges will gain of <strong>Norden</strong>. If you have an<br />
idea which you would like to discuss with the<br />
In Bloom Committee, please contact them via<br />
the Streetwise Office.<br />

Caldershaw Primary School<br />
Go Eco Friendly<br />
On Friday 31st March, children from Caldershaw Primary School hosted VIP guests in the conclusion to a funpacked<br />
and thought-provoking Eco Week at the school. The week-long event helps to raise awareness of ecological<br />
and environmental issues and included a number of class activities and group projects.<br />
Children and staff were joined by the <strong>May</strong>or and <strong>May</strong>oress of Rochdale and<br />
Local Councillor / Eco Governor, Peter Winkler, who were shown aroundby<br />
members of the Eco Council. The guests were shown several different<br />
projects, which classes from throughout the school had undertaken as part of<br />
Eco Week, and then came the difficult task of judging the school’s upcycling<br />
competition.<br />
Children had been set the task of using used items and rubbish to create<br />
something new; entries included furniture, fashion, clocks, planters, bird<br />
boxes and banners.The upcycling process gives children the opportunity to<br />
create something new out of what is usually considered rubbish. Eco<br />
Coordinator, Miss Reed said:“We would like to say a huge thankyou to<br />
everyone who has entered this year’s upcycling competition. The response<br />
has been overwhelming and the standard of designs has been truly<br />
remarkable. We have been thoroughly impressed with the ideas pupils<br />
have come up with and the incredible amount of effort that has gone into<br />
their projects.”<br />
The <strong>May</strong>or and <strong>May</strong>oress had a tough job on their hands to choose winners<br />
but after a lot of deliberation they managed to narrow it down to two overall<br />
winners. The winner from Key Stage One was Lewis Whales and the Key<br />
Stage Two prize went to Harvey Crawford. A number of other prizes were<br />
given to runners up.The <strong>May</strong>or said: “It has been a difficult decision,everyone is a<br />
winner here today. We have chosen designs that caught our eye, they were very simple<br />
yet effective and something that everyone could have a go at.”<br />
Councillor Peter Winkler said: “The Children should be very proud of themselves, they<br />
have done a lot of excellent work. A big well done to all the children who got involved<br />
in the upcycling competition and to our winners.”<br />
All the entries will be displayed around the school and will become a feature when the<br />
RHS judges visit the school later in the year as part of Rochdale in Bloom.<br />

40 years of <strong>Norden</strong> Carnival!<br />
1977-<strong>2017</strong><br />
Saturday 17th June <strong>2017</strong><br />
Just a reminder that you get to choose the theme of the 40th anniversary Carnival. That’s<br />
right, this year you can come as any theme over the last 40 years. There’s so many options<br />
to choose from. You could replicate the first Carnivals where local businesses would display<br />
their goods. Alternatively, why not pick something more recent – My Favourite Film, Music,<br />
Cartoons, Books and so many more.<br />
On the day, there’ll be plenty of stalls to browse and buy some treats. As it’s just before Father’s Day, it will<br />
be an ideal time to get dad a gift. There’s still time to book a stall – just email the address below. The<br />
parade starts at 1pm from Caldershaw School and goes all the way through the village where it’ll turn around<br />
at Jubilee Park and then back to <strong>Norden</strong> School. There’ll also be plenty of<br />
entertainment, music, rides and plenty of ice cream – as well as endless<br />
sunshine.<br />
We have reached an impressive milestone - and its all thanks to you in our<br />
community for continuing to support the event each year. So whatever you<br />
are doing and no matter how long you have supported the Carnival - a HUGE<br />
THANK YOU - from all the organisers. We<br />
look forward to the next 40 years!!<br />
Anyone wishing to enter a float can do<br />
so by emailing nordencarnival@sky.com<br />
– there’s no entry charge and we give a small donation to any charity<br />
or community group. Our twitter followers has increased again this<br />
year and you’ll be able to fund update there and on Facebook. We<br />
look forward to seeing you on 17th June!<br />

THE HISTORY OF<br />
Horse Carrs Manor House<br />
Horse Carrs Manor is a grand Victorian building that nestles in the heart of Shawclough and was originally<br />
the family home of Thomas Watson, one of Rochdale’s unsung heroes.<br />
Built of polished Astley Stone, Horse Carrs was completed in 1866 for the grand<br />
sum of £3,500, and according to an entry within Watson’s Journal, the build of<br />
Horse Carrs was given to W.A. Peters and Sons of Rochdale, the accredited builders<br />
of the Rochdale Town Hall. The Journal also records that John Ashworth was<br />
commissioned to paint the new house at the princely rate of seven old pence (7d)<br />
per square yard,<br />
(equating to just a<br />
smidgen more than<br />
2.5 pence in<br />
today’s money).<br />
On entering the Manor through the main entrance, it would have<br />
been difficult not to be impressed by the stained glass door panel<br />
that depicts the<br />
Watson’s coat of arms, and the grand entrance hall, decorated by elaborate floor<br />
tiles, a large wall mirror and a sweeping staircase, all of which is surmounted by<br />
a skylight which, weather allowing floods the hall in natural light. Records also<br />
suggest that the hallway was embellished by a life-size marble statue of Moses<br />
in the Basket, an artefact that sadly is no-longer resident in Horse Carrs.<br />
However, there is a preserved collection of Plush Fabric (a type of brushed velvet)<br />
which was invented and manufactured by Watson within his Silk Mill (Horse<br />
Carrs Silk Mill, Shawclough), and would have undoubtedly been used to add a<br />
splash of colour throughout the family home as curtains and soft furnishings.<br />
76<br />

Clearly in its day, Horse Carrs was a house that befitted the social standing of a man<br />
that was not only a philanthropist, but also a Godly man who used his wealth to<br />
serve the local community. In addition to serving as a Justice of the Peace and<br />
Chairman of the Rochdale School Board, Watson also gifted the original Rochdale<br />
Infirmary, as well as financing a number of local church and education enterprises.<br />
Throughout its 150 years of existence Horse Carrs has established itself as<br />
something of a lighthouse of refuge within the community. Beyond being the<br />
Watson’s home, the Manor has opened its doors to accommodate; a Men’s refuge<br />
during WW1, a safe haven for WW2 Evacuees from occupied Channel Islands, an<br />
annex to the Municipal Girls High School, and a Council Home for the Elderly<br />
before becoming the Emanuel Christian School. Then in more recent years Horse<br />
Carrs become the new spiritual home for what is historically Rochdale’s First<br />
Baptist Church - now known as the Open Door Baptist Church. In fact the<br />
relationship between the church and Horse Carrs is also worth a mention, for<br />
though Thomas Watson was a lifelong Methodist, his wife Emily and many of<br />
their children were committed members of the fore mentioned Baptist Church –<br />
then known as the West Street Baptist Church.<br />
Today Horse Carrs continues to serve the local community through an Open Door<br />
fellowship of Christian Worship (Sunday mornings), the Coffee House (Thursdays<br />
and Fridays), ‘POPS’ a Toddlers Group (Thursday Mornings), along with a number<br />
of other activities and community services throughout the week. There is also the<br />
‘Free’ exhibition that portrays the collective stories of the Watson Family, Horse<br />
Carrs Manor and West Street Baptist Church (Open Thursdays 12:30-3.30 &<br />
Fridays 10-3.30), full details available: http://www.horsecarrscoffee.co.uk/<br />

English Asparagus with Lemon and<br />
Cracked Black Pepper Hollandaise<br />
You can’t beat a classic recipe and in this the asparagus and<br />
hollandaise is quite simply a perfect marriage. English asparagus is<br />
in sheer abundance right now so it’s the perfect time to try and of<br />
course enjoy.<br />
Serves 4<br />
3 egg yolks<br />
1 tablespoon lemon juice<br />
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar<br />
Salt and a generous grind of cracked black pepper<br />
115g butter, bubbling hot<br />
2 bunches English asparagus, peeled to just below the tip<br />
1) Put the egg yolks, lemon and vinegar into a food<br />
processor, season and set the machine in motion.<br />
2) Have the butter bubbling hot on the heat. Take the pan<br />
off the heat and pour it onto the whirling food processor<br />
blades in a thin stream, then leave to blend for about 30<br />
seconds until the sauce has thickened and is foamy. Season<br />
to taste before serving.<br />
3) Blanch the asparagus spears in a pan of boiling salted<br />
water and cook until al dente – approximately 2-3 minutes<br />
depending on thickness.<br />
4) Season, arrange on a plate or container and serve with a<br />
generous spoon of your hollandaise.<br />
