I made this almond cake over the weekend. As I was organizing the baking drawers, I noticed some almond flour, so I made this one – no butter! Just leavened with egg whites whipped into meringue. I’m proud of myself with this one because I got this recipe off of a sketchy-ish website and so I had to modify it a lot. I added cream of tartar to stabilize the egg whites and also vanilla and almond extract to bring out the flavor. I also knew that the almond flour mixture was too thick to fold into the meringue, so I diluted it with whole milk. I used some frangipane I had in the freezer as a topping and! I toasted the almonds that went on top to bring out the almond-y flavor. It was not bad. hahaha, no it was good. I really do like the almond flavor – one of my favorite.
After a week of the storm and Edda being at home all week watching TV on her little iPad in my office, we finally broke down and bought a TV for my office. For people who don’t really watch TV, we have so. many. TVs. If you counted how many screens we have larger than 30 inches, it will boggle your mind. It boggles my mind. We don’t watch TV, we don’t watch sports, what do we watch? Jeremy watches a lot of youtube. Edda watches a lot of Disney+ and Amazon Prime (Dora the Explorer circa 2004 is very popular). Anyways, to mount all TVs in the house, Jeremy finally bought an impact driver to more smoothly put screws into the walls. I didn’t know what an impact driver was – I always thought that sound was a broken drill. Anyways, we are using it to fix doors in the house too.
