2014 NaBloPoMo: Wednesday Nov 26
Nov. 26th, 2014 09:43 pmI made Chocolate Swiss Meringues today. (Not to be confused with Swiss chocolate meringues, which are something else altogether. Probably) I found the recipe in a copy of Family Circle from 1987 (and I don't see it on-line anywhere - are there really things that are not on-line? How is that even a thing?) I'd never made Swiss meringue before and thought, what the hell, you only live once - you should have SOME sugar burns to show for it.
I have four egg yolks I have to figure out some use for. My life is so glamourous!

This facing page ad for Kmart in said 1987 magazine made it immediately clear that we are ALL GETTING OLD.

Again, you're welcome.

Alfonso Ribiero won Dancing with the Stars. I have never seen this show, but even I know the guy is a professional dancer. How does that even work?
--------------------------------------------
I am not a huge Joni Mitchell fan. I think she's written a lot of very good songs, but her voice gives me the heebie-jeebies (full disclosure - my voice would no doubt give her - and just about any one - the heebie-jeebies). That said, I had to love this:
Joni Mitchell Thinks Taylor Swift Has "High Cheekbones" and Not Much Else to Offer as an Actress
Ouch. Something to be said for just not giving a shit. Go Joni!

Hubby's home. Must go feed him meringues.
