On ne fait pas de meringue sans casser des oeufs
As the proverb said : We can't make the meringue without breaking the eggs..well, we'll get to it soon...
It's a first day of the summer break..it's warm outside and really don't feel like doing anything physical. Kids happily lounging around in their pyjamas, eating brakfast in front of the tv. Well, that's holiday isn't it.
After lunch (which is very early at 11.30 am), I already feel very tired for doing nothing! That's crazy isn't it. This is not good..I feel quite useless actually..
At 4 pm, I managed to bring myself to kitchen and baked something..that even a lazy person like me can do it.
Now, chose plus sérieuse ..on ne rigole plus...Meringue c'est une art..ah bon? Comment ca?
(Now, serious stuff..no more joking..meringue, is an art..really? How's that?)
Voyons voir..
No..above was just a dialogue that I have with myself while preparing the meringue. The way you beat the white eggs until it reach the soft peak, then slowly adding your sugar and then slowly adding the flour into the mixture. You never know if it will come out perfect. And that's not just about it..will you get nice crumbly and chewy meringue after that? We just have to wait and see once it come out from the oven..and that's what I call Art.
