late night dyslexia

After a long, incredibly long, day, I decided to bake a cake. A pound cake. Because I wanted strawberry shortcake and I wanted to feel the weight of it hit my belly darn it! Make me feel alive, kind of thing. I got down to business around 8 that night. Got out the recipe and the ingredients. First thing i noticed, was that it called for was" 6 egg whites at room temp." ....Odd. But i go on prepping anyway, and save the yolks for something else. I went off to wait for the egg whites to get to room temp and keep thinking how odd it is for just egg whites to go into a pound cake, "but that's what the recipe said so it must be right" 9 o'clock hits. Still waiting, thinking, and wondering how the hell that is supposed to work!!!! "Egg whites add air, I don't want air in my POUND cake!"
Oven is on and i proceed to mix the goods together. Double check the recipe and it still reads egg whites. So i decided to give my butter and sugar some extra mix time before adding my egg whites. 10 o'clock is fast approaching, the bowl of egg whites are in hand, I check the recipe again...." 6 eggs! 6 eggs at room temperature" Double, triple check....6 stinkin' eggs. So my pound cake was saved at the very last moment! And the trouble was so worth it once strawberries were on top!

I'm BACK.....

From maternity leave ; ) I managed to bust out a lot of stuff before the addition came, and i even took pictures! But I'm too lazy to retrieve my camera, so you get a picture less post. About hospital food. Yeah, random I know, but i was too pleased not to comment on it! Kadlec, has a rockin' menu. So rockin' in fact, that I am not against a random cheap lunch there. Now, I'm comparing Kadlec to KGH and Lourdes, both of which have lousy eats! WHY IS THAT!? It's like they're saying "hey, you're already depressed about being here; so this grime won't dampen your spirits anymore." I should write a letter, and be like "Yo. Actually, it does!" At any rate, back to Kadlec, and how they rock. In my stay I had a chicken quesadilla, chef salad, and lots of fruit. The fruit, even though out of season, was super yummy! Even the honeydew melon(which we all know is a hit or miss). My chef salad was big and had all the fixens! It's really tough for a salad to please me, not because it's green and leafy!, because all the best salads I've had...are in Connell-long story. Anyhoo, the quesadilla, was actually a lot to eat. The chicken used was tender and well seasoned and of course, there was lots of cheese! My other half only consumed the chicken fajitas. Which speaks for itself. he binged for three days...on fajitas. So to wrap things up, go to the Kadlec cafeteria for a quick bite for lunch. I'm sure my girls and I will be regulars there this summer
