Today I have no pictures, but I felt like it was time to write again. I ought to have pictures, considering the baking frenzy I had on Monday, but for some reason, the camera never made it downstairs.
It's interesting the blockade stairs put on things.
I baked an Angel Food Cake from scratch, which is actually very easy, but it leaves you with all of these egg yolks because you use a dozen egg whites, and I'm too...erm...natural? to use the already separated ones.
Yes folks, that's right. I separate my own egg whites.
But then I had these yolks staring sadly at me from the lonely carton where I had left them swimming in the remainder of their shells.
Shells of themselves, really.
(I'm so punny sometimes...yolk yolk yolk).
And they looked so lonely and sad.
And I had these beautiful lemons that I was going to use for dinner, but I had five lemons which was really overkill, because I could really make due with just one or two for dinner. They had just been so beautiful at Trader Joe's that I got five.
I thought to myself, "Lemon bars use egg yolks, don't they?"
Surely enough they do. Seven, to be exact. Which didn't use all of the yolks, but seven is better than none.
So I made lemon bars. But no one got to eat those but me, because I just don't share lemon bars. I don't make any pretenses about sharing lemon bars. I just don't do it. Nope. All mine.
Well, I let boyfriend have two.
Which is quite generous, considering.
Ciao,
kc
