To coin an Aussie phrase I’m “freezing my bullocks off” here in the semi northern hemisphere. 19 below again this morning. Your dam sounds lovely.

Cool. Just got back from Hawaii. I got really drunk New Years. Cut my foot badly on some coral, but hey! it was awesome. Hawaiians sure know how to hang lose yall. Best wishes for the new year to all.

Must buzz and check my email. Aloha.

Angel Food Cake

-Ingredients-
12 egg whites
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup sifted cake flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

-Directions-
In large mixing bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar at high speed until foamy. Add 3/4 cup of the sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating constantly until sugar is dissolved* and whites are glossy and stand in soft peaks. Beat in flavorings.

Sift together flour, remaining sugar and salt. Sift about 1/2 cup of the flour mixture over whites and gently fold just until flour disappears. Repeat, folding in remaining flour mixture 1/2 cup at a time. Pour into ungreased 10 x 4-inch tube pan. Gently cut through batter with metal spatula.

Bake in preheated 375°F oven until top springs back when lightly touched with finger, about 30 to 40 minutes. Invert cake in pan on funnel or bottle neck. Cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours. With narrow spatula or knife, loosen cake from pan and gently shake onto serving plate. Top with fruit or frost, if desired.

*Rub just a bit of meringue between thumb and forefinger to feel if sugar has dissolved.

CHOCOLATE VARIATION: Omit almond extract and increase vanilla to 2 teaspoons. Reduce flour to 2/3 cup and sift in 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa. Prepare batter and bake as above.

Haha what an idiot. Our turkeys are slightly bigger than the Oz variety. And they can be very aggressive. I sure wouldn’t want to mess with one. I prefer to get my eggs at the seven 11. lol
