School has started and I feel like a crazy person. I am driving kids to school, waiting for yellow buses and hauling an almost 30 pound baby every where I go. There is not a day that I don't have a mild back-ache from it all.
Since this new routine began, I have placed high expectations on myself to get my house in order too. So, with schedules and self-imposed chores I have had a lot to do. But, I am finding ways to procrastinate!
Each day that my husband comes home lately he is astonished at what I have been up to in the kitchen. In one day I cooked chili from scratch, marinara from scratch and a quiche all using veggies form the farm. I baked banana bread and chicken and dumplings all before mid-week. I think I am trying to avoid all those chores and instead have a little fun.
My latest adventure was a dessert called Ile Flottante, or floating islands. I knew it consisted of three things: crème anglaise, meringues and caramel. I knew how to make the crème anglaise from a cooking class I took a few years back. It is my husband's favorite thing! And, luckily, since this sauce requires egg yolks I had plenty of egg whites to whip up some meringues. Then, it got tricky. I had seen my mother-in-law poach the meringues so that they came out very light and soft. This is something I had not done before. So, I simmered some water, put the meringues gently in by the spoonful and let them cook about 10 minutes. Voila! I had the islands. Last, I boiled a cup of sugar and a cup of water together until I had a caramel sauce. I assembled my floating islands in a large bowl and waited for everything to cool. (when it was warm there was too much of an eggy taste)
The result was delicious! Everyone in my family gobbled up this dessert with its vanilla and caramel flavors, soft pillows of egg white and creamy sauce.

drugs are more popular. Yes, the results are positive and have no negative effect on to your body because the Vig - RX Plus
