(Tragically, globalisation did not come out as an examination topic.)
Smoked salmon on garlic cracker! My favourite kind of picnic food. The scruffy and yappy terrier behind was eyeing me, in a not-so-pleasant way.
The meringues came out beautifully browned and caramelised ever so slightly (read: a little burnt). Just one egg white managed to produce around 10 of these! Plus, I made them on a rainy, humid day, and everyone who writes about meringues advise against making them on a rainy, humid day.
I was pleased to have them turn out so nicely, despite (i) accidently pressing the microwave function, which incurred the immediate berating of my bystander grandmother who shook a damning finger at the oven, expecting the meringues to turn out miserable and wretched (I haven't been too fond of her prescience, which isn't exactly well-known anyway), and (ii) making them on a rainy, humid day, which apparently was the source of all meringue failures of rainy, humid days past.
It's funny how baking successes always come when there's no fundraising/festive-gifting left to do.
