Custard and Meringue

A first for several things this week: home made custard and home made meringues... MMmmmMMmmMmmmMmmmmmmm *sugar*!

Made some apple crumble and felt the need for custard, so looked up a recipe online....and tried to make it with soya milk....it wasn't too bad, but I did manage to put too much sugar in it (TOO MUCH SUGAR?!?!?!? surely that isn't possible wayway?! - ohhhh but it is.)

Anyway, with the left over egg whites I felt the need to make some meringue: for the first time. So, with the help of Benny and Greg we had a go. Luckily, a friend had donated a electric whisk when we had moved in...which took the strain off our hands a bit. It was all going okay until we baked them, and they refused to crispen up :( boooooooooo! but it didn't really matter, because we ate it all anyway.

Tasty.
