Hey guys! I am so so sorry I have not been around. I've been running into a few of life's hiccups.

The floor is now open for trying out a new halloween related recipe. We can try it out during the month of Febuary and report back either here or in the HF Cooking Group.

So, what will it be???

I would like to put up a suggestion. Meringue Bones. I tried them this year and had some trouble so I think it is one of those recipes you need to practice a bit before the big day. The final effect was great and worth it. And yummy too.

Here is a picture of how mine turned out.

Oh, that looks kewl! I'm in for trying this in Febuary. Anyone else??

 

[Dark Star]

I am always open to try something new.

Bah! I didn't even get around to doing the first recipe. I've got soooo much on my hands right now that I'm just hoping to be able to start work on my props by June! But maybe I can find time for this after someone else makes it and lets us know how much time is involved.

If it does not take 3 attempts (like it took me the first time) it is quick. Probably 15 minutes to mix and pipe the bones. Then you just let them sit in the oven all night. I would like to pracitce with them again though just to make sure I got them down.

The few things I found were: 1) The first recipe I was using had bad proportions, 2) apparently you are supposed to use room temp eggs/not super cold

I tried this recipe and had the worst luck, so I am going to pass on trying it again. I am excited though to see how yours turns out, then I might give it thought to try again.

I'm thinking of trying out this recipe this weekend or the next. Hopefully I won't ruin them, lol!

 

[Junit]

Hopefully I will get to a second attempt tomorrow!

[Rikki]

So how'd they taste, Junit?

 

[runswithvampires]

[Junit]

So how'd they taste, Junit?

the same as the meringue that tops a pie only hard

 

[Mistress of the Abyss]

Ok! I'm gonna attempt this recipe tomorrow night! Wish me luck!!

 

[Mistress of the Abyss]

Ok! So I think I did a pretty good job with them. I had to put the meringue into a freezer bag and cut the tip so my bones are rather sloppy looking, lol!
The things we have to do to improvise!
