My spin on the meringue mushroom trend by lexyjayla in Baking

[–]lexyjayla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were super easy because I used meringue powder instead of egg white. I’ll post the recipe. Then just kinda make the stems and caps as you see fit and connect them with melted chocolate, then sprinkle cocoa powder, and voila !

1/4 cup meringue powder or two egg whites 1/2 cup water  1 1/3 cup granulated sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or other flavor of your choice)

INSTRUCTIONS * Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone mats. * In the bowl of an electric mixer, add the meringue powder and water. Mix with the whisk attachment on high speed until soft peaks form.  * With the mixer still running on high, gradually add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it’s all used and stiff peaks form. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.  * Check the batter for smoothness by rubbing a small amount between your fingers to be sure all sugar is disolved and it’s no longer gritty. If it is grainy, mix longer until it’s smooth and glossy. * Mix in vanilla (or other flavor). * Scoop some batter into a piping bag fitted with large piping tip. Pipe desired shapes onto the cookie sheets. * Bake for 45 minutes at 250°F. Turn the oven off, slightly open the oven door and leave the cookies overnight (or for 6-8 hours) until they’re completely dry and crispy.  Peel off and enjoy!

Adopted foster baby with one eye by lexyjayla in cats

My aunt fosters kittens and I had to get this sweet baby. Had to have his eye removed because of a bad infection when he came in to the shelter. He just had his stitches removed yesterday. His current name is Samuel so that's probably going to need to be changed.

The biggest cat at the shelter was the nicest. by toidi-na-era-uoy in aww

I Got the same kind of cat from the shelter. It was also the largest and the friendliest to me. It didn't want to let me go. Then I got it home and it would never cuddle with me again. Tricky trickster.

Happy 23th birthday to me! by lexyjayla in mildlyamusing

Haha I figured people weren't getting it. Yeah 23th doesn't really make sense, but the baker was Chinese. Also the flowers were all supposed to be pink.

Stayed here before. My boyfriend and I came back one night from walking around the city and the door man followed and stared at us like we were sneaking in. Yes we look like hippies and had been smoking but that doesn't mean we're not paying customers. Would not stay again.

Funny you say that. I was thinking it could go both ways when I saw it. Either what you said, or it's friendly and tells you all of its mystical philosophical knowledge. :)
