[Sca-cooks] Too late... need to gripe...

[Tara Sersen Boroson]

Argh.  It's 1 am, and I'm up baking for Christmas eve.  'Twasn't 
supposed to be this way.  Talk to the toddler.

The first batch of merengue I made for the flourless chocolate cake 
didn't turn out.  First time that's ever happened to me.  So, I had to 
start over with seperating another half dozen eggs.  When I finally got 
it whipped up and folded into the chocolate mixture and ready to pour 
into the pan, I discovered that the bottom of my springform pan is 
missing.  I cannot conceive of how I could have the rim of the pan and 
not the bottom.  I am Not A Happy Camper over that fact.  So, I had to 
use 4-1/2 inch springform pans - and I only have two of them, which 
means I have to do this in two batches.  Thus, I have to stay awake an 
extra hour or more to bake the second round.

All this so my celiac father can have dessert, since the other dessert 
is a tart.

Oh, well.  At least I'll get the laundry done tonight.

*snore*
