Here is my recipe:
3 large egg whites
1.5 cups of blended sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Separate out the wegg white. I did this by poking holes in the eggs and letting the whites pour out. It works way better than you would expect.
The bacon grease in the background was from this morning and is being saved for the squirrels who love it. I figure why waste it?
Then take the sugar and put it in the blendar till it is powerdery. Preheat the over to 200 degrees. You could probably start with powdered sugar but I wanted it organic and there was no powdered organic sugar.
Then whisk the eggs white till frothy and then add the cream of tartar. Beat until the peaks are stiff. Then add suagr and continue beating until it is stiff again. I am good at beating things till stiff but my arms were so tired from this we had to keep switching off between the three of us. I refuse to buy more appliances so I use the manual beaters and whisk for stuff.
Then you scoop them onto trays and bake for like two hours. Yes, like two hours. It is insane but you have to bake it so low.
Totally unrelated
Yesterday, at the coop I noticed Guecios deleviering produce. I really should just go there instead. I mean seriously it can only be marked up, not discounted, for them to drive it down the street.
I also bought a turkey at the coop. They were liek $70 for natural ones before but the day after thankgiving they were like $15-$20. I figured they would still be there when I went back today but they were all gone except one which was in the freezer case. I bought it. For $16 we will have enough turkey for the three of us to eat for a week. I just wish it wasn't frozen so I could have cooked it today.
Today, we were at the tenants house scrapping the kitchen ceiling when I was looking at myself in the new bathrrom mirror which lets you see your profile easily. I was amazed at the shape of my ear, which is stunted I feel. I never noticed it before when looking at it from a normal reflection.
Were they crispy?? They look like pastres!
NO one was exicted about Meringue cookies. They are gluten free!
You guys don't read my journals, I guess. :p
They get all their produce for the sandwich, salads and prepared foods sections from Guercios. They get many of their bread from Dolci's down the street.
And they mark up their produce like crazy.
Admit it people. They are pretentious snobs. Shopping there is a nice way to throw away your money. If I shopped there, I would be completely bankrupt in a couple months.
Interesting... I can't imagine they sell their produce there. Wouldn't it be stupid? Who knows. I would be willing to guess that they are using Guercio's for their hot/cold bar. If that were the case, it seems lame to me that they wouldn't use the produce they actually have in the store. =/ In either case, I'll still go down to Grant St.
