i am about to bestow upon you the secret butter technique. i am sorry, but it is french. i am sorry again, this only works with cow butter. i am certain plant based butters wouldn’t work, and alternative animal butters may or may not work

has this ever been you: you have a nicely steamed vegetable, or maybe you want to make the best butter noodles, but you know that if you put butter on those it’ll just melt and you end with kind of greasy noodles or vegetables? don’t you wish it was instead a luscious buttery glaze?

introducing: beurre monté

you will take a small sauce pan, and begin heating it with 1-2 tablespoons of water (use very little water) and bring it to a hard simmer or boil

turn the heat down slightly, and add Butter. how much? however much you dare. (start with 3-4 tablespoons and go from there)

you are going to either whisk Aggressively or you can pick up the saucepan, still holding it over the heat, and swirl aggressively so the butter is skating around the sides of the pan

done correctly, you will have liquid butter that is still emulsified. you have made Butter Sauce. season it with a little salt, and toss whatever you want in it.

if you’re butter splits, i’m sorry. you didn’t agitate it enough to maintain the emulsion, and now you have melted butter.

you can use this knowledge to make other sauces by swapping out the water for another liquid. white wine becomes beurre blanc. red wine is beurre rogue.

you want to CUM? sweat minced shallot in a tiny bit of butter, add white wine and cook it out until it’s reduced by about half. then whisk butter in hard. a few flecks of minced thyme or fennel frond stirred thru, and you eat that with a nice seared fish? or scallop? or even shrimp? wow. you will Nut

your boxed mac and cheese game can also be elevated by cooking your pasta and making a beurre monté first, tossing your pasta in that and adding the cheese packet. wow. hey; you’ll cum

go forth now with this butter secret

five notes?? this is why i don’t tell you all anything

Christmas fact: “fancy Santa” figurines are not artistic license, but rather, representations of Santa Claus’ rarely used “powered up” form.

Pictured: Santa’s “Super Santa Level 2″ transformation

Is this the form he used in the Krampus arc?

No, Super Santa Level 2 wasn’t introduced until the King Grinch arc. He mostly relied on the Holiday Spirit technique when fighting Krampus:

(The Holiday Spirit technique was later retired due to the toll it took on his body, though it makes a brief reappearance during his battle with the Tooth Fairy in the 1997 OAV.)

I was blown away by the manga-only Cosmic Santa form he attained during the final battle with Jack Frost:

Seeing him tap into the Christmas wishes of all the world’s children to power up his Silver Jolly Happy Soul Rod Attack really made me tear up.

I’ve always wondered whether his Cosmic Form is REALLY all white or if that’s just because the manga’s black & white. Sure, there’s the cover of volume 17 that shows it as white, but it also shows Mrs. Claus’s ceremonial Christmas Eve gown as pure white when we KNOW that’s not true:

And the elves get a white variation of their uniform on that cover too? So I don’t think we can count the cover as strictly canon. I keep hoping we get an OVA remake of the Jack Frost arc that actually follows the manga so we can see Cosmic Form in action. Maybe if the fighting game sells well and shows there’s still an audience for classic manga?
