Random Thoughts on a Rainy Day – A Non-Rant
May 28, 2009
There was an article in the New York Times today about how Michelle Obama doesn’t miss not cooking the meals for her family. That’s great if you can get away with it but for the rest of us it’s the same old grind, decide what to cook, get the ingredients and make it happen. Believe it or not I have days when I just don’t know what I want to cook. This is why I always have some spaghetti sauce in the freezer and some chicken breasts; so that a quick and good meal is only a few minutes away.
I will spend some time today trying to recreate a cookie my NY City son asked me to figure out. They are calling it a macroon but I think it is closer to a merigue. He brought me some last week, while we were in New Jersy, so this is a little easier than creating it from his description. I think I have it but need to fine tune the recipe. My first try came out good but not what I was looking for… the good news is that these “mistakes” will make wonderful mini ice cream sandwiches. My recipe calls for 6 egg whites; as I am frugal I will use the yolks to get my strawberry gelato recipe just right. Look for both recipes soon or as they used to say in Philly,” film at 11.”
