But then, I haven't tried it this way, so if you do, let me know how it works!The Lethological Gourmethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728934244935813026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854598032016806639.post-8722523322748175412008-12-28T15:05:00.000-05:002008-12-28T15:05:00.000-05:00One question and one idea.Question - on the cardam...One question and one idea.<BR/><BR/>Question - on the cardamom meringues, is the cardamom that you sprinkle on top of the dollops *in addition* to the spice you add while beating the egg whites?<BR/><BR/>Idea - crushing the candy canes. Throw the candy into a gallon zip lock, wrap the zip lock in two or three sheets of newspaper (or maybe a dishtowel) and then whale on the package with a kitchen mallet or a rolling pin. Or the bottom of your cast iron skillet.Barbara Gavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043016701399934801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854598032016806639.post-25495601000889760152008-12-24T12:47:00.000-05:002008-12-24T12:47:00.000-05:00Hey LG - (my initials, too!)Sending lots of holida...Hey LG - (my initials, too!)<BR/>Sending lots of holiday wishes and love and hope for a great 2009!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854598032016806639.post-12024326742107479252008-12-22T15:38:00.000-05:002008-12-22T15:38:00.000-05:00Mine too, Charlotte!
