We made a tent in Scott's room to shelter from the "rain" we roasted sponge letters over a fire with long crayons and pens. We even sat on the "grass" when the "sun" came out!
New Recipe for today was Riley's request for lemon meringue.
I don't think I'll ever attempt it again.Scott was running around the house yelling and then standing under my feet and spreading joy and toys all over. Sophie was hollering and needing a nap since 1:30. Being 6:00 at night she was beyond tired.
Then Riley was looking over my shoulder every couple of minutes which was proceeded with an "OH NO!" from the cook's mouth -this indicated a mistake or a frequent lapse of memory from the recipe. In the middle of the chaos I misread TBS for TSP and ended up with a huge goopy clump. I threw it out and started over....
The egg yolks, even though I took preventative measures, curdled a bit, and the meringue was saltless....
Needless to say I believe I'll buy a meringue next time it's been requested from the peanut gallery!
It still tasted OK in the end :)
