I have been making a lot of pie deliveries of late.
For reasons I won’t get into here. The biggest problem is that I’m almost out
of “transportable” pies, especially in this summer heat. It’s not a good idea
to make meringue in the height of summer (especially in this sort of sauna-like
weather), but a thin layer shouldn’t be too difficult to manage.
The nadege tart is basically a lemon pie with a thin
layer of sponge cake and a much reduced amount of meringue piped into a lattice
pattern. The layering came out a little skewed; I ended up with nearly equal amounts
of curd, cake, and meringue, when it should’ve been a lot more curd and a lot
less cake. Funnily enough, only the meringue came out as it was supposed to.
But it was still very good:) And no one seemed to
notice (or rather, no one really knows what a nadege tart is, including me!). I
shared this with my new colleagues as we sat for hours at a “liberally”
air-conditioned Starbucks, talking about… well, all the random stuff girls talk
about when they get together. I was, however, relieved to find out that I was
not the only one to have had a somewhat disappointing 20s (though perhaps no
one has had such an uneventfully tumultuous one as me), and to harbor somewhat
resigned yet paradoxically hopeful feelings about the future. Hmmm.. maybe I am
sort of normal after all. Among like-minded people, at least!
Wow, this one is pretty! Hey, at least your 20s are ending with a pie blast! :)
ReplyDeleteI learned how to pipe a lattice pattern on YouTube:)

ReplyDeleteWow the patterns are really neat! I just had a thought that I want a bed like that.. is that weird? It just looks really comforting and fluffy.
