What did you cook today (April 2021)?

Technically, it is not "bourbon" unless it is from Kentucky, but that rule has been pushed aside quite a bit in recent years.

That's good to know... the brand I had (very cheap) said "bottled in Kentucky" so I guess they're trying to be clever.

Burger Bun Pie (#2) - Chicken Fajitaburguesas

I like fajitas as much as I like pizzas.

If you can make a lemon meringue pie I feel you could make this. It lasted 4 hours after giving my brother in law a third of it.

Oh, but I have never made a lemon meringue pie! My mother used to bake them back in the 1970s, but I don't bake (except for the occasional loaf of bread), my mother was the baker. That was one of my favorite pies. Since I have never had anything else with meringue on it, I had no idea.

Typically if I bake (except for the occasional loaf of bread), it's a box mix. I could probably pull off a lemon meringue pie if I followed a recipe. If I baked desserts (except for the occasional family gatherings) I would be 20 pounds heavier than I am, and I don't want that!

Grandmother made chocolate meringue pie too.

I've had French Silk pie and chocolate pudding pie with whipped cream topping (about the same thing).

I have never had chocolate meringue pie but I am sure it was delicious!

I make French silk with a meringue crust. In fact, I have been meaning to make it for a while. I have 7 egg whites in the freezer from something(s) I made with yolks only. I'll use those when I finally make it.

You use a meringue crust? Is that really what you meant? I have never seen that before.

For the Bunderdome, hamburger salad sandwich:

Yes. You spread the meringue out in a buttered pie plate then bake at low temp like you would if making baked meringues. Let it cool, then place the French Silk mixture in and refrigerate.

My mornings are so boring compared to you all making beautiful food. Me: cup of earl grey . I may eat later?

Homemade Cuban sandwiches. Found some roasted Cuban pork when deep freezer diving the other day.

I've never had a baked meringue and didn't know they existed. My experience with baking (I bake bread sometimes) and baking desserts, even eating desserts, is rather limited.

You've never heard of meringue mushrooms? A lot of people make and give them as gifts. I made some for a buche de Noel and the mushrooms were as big a hit as the cake. Post #3.

Cloud eggs are also a "trendy" thing -- I've heard. You make a meringue "cloud" with a divot in the middle, bake it, add a yolk, and put it back in the oven to lightly cook the yolk and finish browning the meringue.

You are making me rethink egg whites. I don't really like the white part, I am more of a yolk person. Scrambled eggs are great but fried eggs, I tend to not eat much of the whites, especially if they are even a touch runny (yuck). But the idea of a fluffy meringue sounds intriguing.
