ilaiSo this afternoon, I was all psyched to make angel food cake. I set the cookbook down on the counter, pulled out my carton of pasteurized egg whites, and then noticed this pesky phrase on the side: "not recommended for angel food cakes and meringues." Ack! A quick search online revealed that you just can't whip up certain pasteurized egg whites so that they're stiff enough; you have to buy special brands that are made for this purpose, or just use real eggs. Bah.
Since I'd just returned from the grocery store earlier, I didn't feel like making another trip just for the egg whites. The angel food cake experiment will have to wait for another day!
Speaking of grocery stores, Johnnie's Foodmaster has been selling these cheap plastic tote bags that feel kind of like cloth. They all look the same, and every time I bring mine to the cash register the clerk has to ask me if I'd already bought it. On my way back today I had this idea that I should decorate my bag so no one would mistake it for a new one. What would go well on the dull yellowish-cream sides of my bag? A smiley face?
Here's what I ended up with:
Also, I've been playing way too much Dr. Mario on the Wii lately. But I'd only played on medium speed until now. Apparently if you beat level 20 on high, you get the ending credits... with Mario and the viruses floating around. It looks like Dr. Mario has been abusing prescription medication:
