So lazy...

I am so lazy. Soooo lazy when it comes to do anything important or getting on the ball. I almost immediately started working on my baking bucket list after writing it. It has been over a month since I made these and took them to work. They were a hard sell for the people I work...a little too frou-frou.

The first thing that I chose to make was meringues. These in particular were Kool Aid Meringues. It was a little bit of a cheat to use this but I wanted a flavor to them. These were made with the Strawberry Crush mix-ins.

They were terrible. I think that I may not have baked them long enough. The bottoms were slightly brown but the  centers were a little bit on the moist side and the longer that they sat the funkier they started to smell. Of course I have a bit of a sensitive nose when it comes to certains scents and to me after three or four days they seemed to smell a little slobbery.

The recipe is straight forward. It took a little bit of time to get my egg whites whipped enough in the stand mixer mainly I think because of the sheer amount or the lack therefore of. I also think that I could have mixed them up a little better the color was a little streaky, light pink with darker red stripes. I think that the picture above was about how many that it made. I just dropped them by the spoonful instead of piping them simply because of the mess and the lazy person in me that didn't want to do all of that.

This is where I found the recipe if you want to try them for yourself.

Baking Bucket List

I've decided that since my 30 before 30 book list has been a complete failure I would have a better chance of working on something else like a baking bucket list.

As much as I love to read I like to spend time in the kitchen and this is one of those things that really doesn't have to have a timeline to make it happen. I have a real kitchen so that I actually have some room to work in the kitchen without freezing to death or being in someone else's way.
