Mixed in some ground up frosted flakes (45g) with some of the lemon pie mix (400g) and beat the "kitten* out of some 100g of defenseless egg whites with a drop or two of cream of tartar (0.7g) and sucralose thrown in... and shoved it all in the oven... waiting for it to cool down!
I am informed by remote troubleshooters that I apparently exercised insufficient beating of the *kitten* out of the egg whites! Or that they needed... even "more air". Apparently the hand beating method is frowned upon and I should employ mechanical aids!!!! Hmmm.... definitely worth re attempting.... how come we are not all eating meringue cookies... I bet you that with sucralose these puppies will be... NEGATIVE CALORIES (**ALMOST**)

Oh, PAV....Almost! I hope it is good.

My attempt was . . Adequate I would lose the cereal/base for the next one.
The meringue was perfect in some spots so you can tell that it can work but I did have some undercooked and the top was too eggy.
Apparently I mis heard and cooked at 350 instead of 375. Also didn't beat enough given that egg whites were still liquid enough to pour out and self level.
So I have received instructions for the next attempt!2 -
I've been sick again and just struggling with pain and discomfort. Thus why I have been so quiet around here.
I do have a fun weekend planned because C2E2 starts tomorrow for 3 days. It is the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo. Should be a lot of fun. Had a great time last year when I went. Lots of cool celebs, but I am mostly there for the comics. They have a few panels about horror comics and books, which is my current obsession. I also took off Monday and Tuesday for recovery (thanks chronic fatigue!).3 -
That sounds as if it has the potential to be horribly entertaining! 🤣😘
But I'm horribly afraid of horrible things! 🤯1 -
It’s kind of a dichotomy Athijade- horror comics? I kind of prefer the funny kind too. But I admit I’ve never explored the other genres. For me, life is scary enough!
Hope you feel better and are able to enjoy the Expo.1 -
I think I remember the Expo from last year? Hope you feel better and have a great time!1

Went out to lunch with friends to celebrate hubby’s 77th birthday. 🎂 I never expected to be married to such an old man!!! Of course he never expected to be married to an old lady either. Who knew 50 years ago?3
-
Woohoo! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! And he has a younger minx by his side!

Happy Birthday, Yooly's Hubby !!!1

Another exciting day. My oldest kiddo came hmlome for the weekend. I went to the gym and grocery store this morning (she spent the night at a friend's, they went out, lol). Then for the afternoon she and I roasted by the pool. Then we had a nice dinner, and she took a short nap on the sofa while my husband and I played a card game. Then we all just hung out and chatted for an hour or so.
Tomorrow, I'm skipping the gym (went Friday and today) and my daughter and I are going to the warehouse club, then probably more pool time, then dinner together then she heads back to Nashville. We'll spend the evening watching hockey (Caps-Rangers, then Oilers-Kings, may even throw Preds-Canucks on before the Caps game).2 -
Your heart must be singing, Nic

Hmmm, I'm going out to dinner tonight with my old college boyfriend (we were together for 5 years, from when I was 18 to 23 and he aged 21 to 26). We meet up for dinner every once in a while (last time was 2022)...in my mind he's forever in his early 20s and it seems almost unbelievable that he's going to be 61 in a fortnight's time. It will be a calorific evening....2

Hope you had a lovely dinner with your old beau! It’s lovely to reconnect with your youthful days. I have an old friend who has stayed in contact over the years. It’s always surprising to see how he’s aged when I (obviously) have not - at least in my head. The mirror regularly lies to me.3

I was super happy to see my girl. It had been since Christmas, she's a busy bee and with all I've had going in, we hadn't made a weekend trip to Nashville.
Today is a typical first day of the work week:
Up at 11:30, to the gym by 12:30, quick stop at the grocery store for AAA batteries (for my bathroom scale and food scale), home for lunch, then made a bunch of phone calls for dentist/orthodontist/Dr appt making and rescheduling. Then I walked on the treadmill for 40 minutes. Shower and self-care time, folded some laundry, packed my "lunch" and now I'm decompressing and having a snack before heading to work in a half hour or so.4 -
I'm tired.
Today is my first day back to work since the convention (took Monday and Tuesday off to rest and recover). It has been a mess. I have not left my desk except to go to the bathroom and get lunch. Though my lunch was only 2 sliced of sourdough bread with butter because I have no time. After this meeting I am going to get up and go for a walk. I can't just keep going and pushing. Then will grab a snack to hold me to dinner.

Hope the convention was everything you hoped!2

Hope convention was good!1

Sharing my week - back to work next week. Going to 1/2 pay has focused my mind🤭😬3

Starting to pull things together for our trip to Ohio next week. Visiting family. So food choices will be iffy.3
-
Love planning for a trip!
Here, started sorting out clothes that don’t fit anymore - 4 bin bags to go to Charity Shop loaded into car! Knackered now! Still does not solve my current wardrobe issues!!2 -
So — packing the well worn suitcase today for a family trip to Ohio. What to pack for a week that goes from 80s to 50s for high temps? Inevitably it’s wrong. I pack hoodies and jeans only to be told upon arrival “let’s go to that fancy restaurant you used to like”. Or pack dress up clothes and end up hiking in the woods?
Have to head for the airport at around 2:30am. Flight leaves at 5:45am and isn’t direct. There will be much running in airports. At least I’ll get my steps in!
Family visit trips are NOT a vacation……3 -
I hope you enjoy your trip Yooly! Even if it's not a vacation....
Sorry for the radio silence - MIL had an apricot-sized skin cancer removed from her chest last week and she's now recovering at our house under my tender ministrations.....3 -
Thanks Bella!
Wow that’s quite a large skin cancer your MIL had! Hope your ministrations have an end date soon. Soooo hard to be a caregiver for some people……1 -
Enjoy the non vacation Yooly! All the activities you mention sound good! 😎 So packing will be tricky!
Oh Bella! I hope three out of three people and all dogs survive the experience.
A week!😱 I hear hospitals kick you out the next day! 🧐
3 -
They kicked her out immediately after the surgery....I don't have the heart to do the same!3
-
as long as your stress level can cash the cheques your heart writes... all is good!

1st day back to work - spent most of it sorting out IT and phone access 😵💫😒
Food (snacks!) control good 😊3 -
It’s Spring in Ohio! Trees and flowers in bloom.
So we had spring in Texas in early March. Then I saw spring in Seattle in April. And I get to enjoy it again in Ohio. Woohoo 🎉1
