Four Foods on Friday
I dragged myself out of bed (Mike gave me the flu!) to participate in Four Foods on Friday!
1. Do you ever use scissors to cut any foods? Which? Raw or cooked?
All the time! It’s much easier to cut slippery foods like chicken with scissors instead of a knife. Just this afternoon, Mike used kitchen scissors to cut pizza.
2. Popcorn. Homemade, microwave, bagged, hot, cold. How do you like it?
Homemade air popped with salt and butter. I don’t discriminate when it comes to temperature.
3. Sushi. Love it or hate it?
LOVE sushi, but Mike hates it, so I’m reduced to grocery store sushi. Luckily, we have a really good local grocery store that has a sushi chef who makes sushi to order.
4. Share a dessert recipe.
Just before I started my new job, they finished producing a cookbook 
for Neilsen-Massey Vanillas and the recipes are delicious, so I thought I would share the recipe for coffee cloud meringues.
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 egg whites
- 2 teaspoons Nielsen-Massey pure coffee extract
- 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
Process the sugar in a food processor until very fine. Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whip egg whites in a non-plastic bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed. Whip in the coffee extract and cream of tartar. Add the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, beating after each addition. Beat until the mixture is glossy and holds a stiff peak.
Pipe meringue using a pastry bag with a star tip, or make dollops with a tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour or until the meringues are dry. Turn off the oven and allow meringues to cool in the oven, away from drafts, for several hours. Store in an airtight container.
Ooo…good recipe! I’m definately more of a “dollop” girl than a pastry bag girl.
I am amazed at how many use scissors in the kitchen. I need to get with it!
[...] Corrin shared a recipe for Coffee Cloud Meringues and likes homemade popcorn. She also makes an observation about fifteen minutes of fame based on recent experience. [...]

Karen - Kitchen scissors are amazing. Put them on your shopping list!
Okay, now I HAVE to get a food processor! This sounds soooooo good!
Thanks for playing. Stumbled.
I love meringues… coffee meringues sounds scrumptious.
Aahh…another oven recipe lol I guess I need to get a new stove so the oven cooks at the right temperature and/or I need to learn how to use it :/
D and I had our first real experience with sushi this weekend. I’m still trying to decide what I think.
Laurie - I admit that it is an acquired taste, so give it time.
blueyes…that’s almost as bad as my sister who can’t cook anything that needs to simmer because her burner is suck on high! haha
