Sheet Pan S'Mores

I've been sitting on this recipe since July (not so bad compared to some other recipes that are patiently waiting). I'm sorry that I didn't make it sooner. This would be a great dish to make and bring to a barbecue. It makes a large portion and doesn't really heat up the kitchen too badly (if you use a blow torch instead of the broiler). Part of the wait involved graham crackers. I can't seem to keep them in the house long enough because of the Sous Chef. He loves them.


Sheet Pan S'Mores (Adapted from Cooking Light)

14.4 oz of graham crackers
1 c sugar + 3T
1/4 c butter, melted
1/2 t salt & 1/4 t
5 egg whites, divided
1 egg
12 oz bittersweet chocolate chips (or chocolate finely chopped)
1 t vanilla
1/4 t cream of tartar
1/3 c water

In a food processor, process graham crackers to fine crumbs. Add melted butter, 3T sugar, 1/2 t salt, 1 egg, 1 egg white. Process to combine. Press into a 13x18 greased sheet pan.  Bake at 350 for 8 minutes or until crust looks set. Immediately sprinkle chocolate over top. Let sit for a little until chocolate softens. Spread chocolate evenly over crust. Cool on wire rack.

Place 4 egg whites in bowl with 1/4t salt and cream of tartar. Set aside. Heat 1 cup sugar with the water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook without stirring until 250. Before sugar comes to full temperature, beat egg whites to soft peaks (multitasking is required here). Gradually pour hot sugar syrup into the egg whites while beating on medium. Add vanilla. Increase speed to high until stiff peaks form. Spread over cooled chocolate/graham cracker crust. Broil meringue topping until lightly browned or use a blow torch to brown. Let stand for 5 minutes. Cut into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I used my blow torch because I can ;-) and was once again successful in NOT burning the house down. I'm getting to be a pro. I have to say I think I got more even coloring than I would have in the broiler.

New Kid on the Block

So here's a picture of the new kid on the block. Ain't she a beauty? It's a Blomberg . They are fairly new to the US. They have been around in Europe for quite a while. I really liked the design. I've been dying to have a freezer on the bottom. With the old refrigerator I would constantly lose brain cells by hitting my head on the freezer will poking around in the refrigerator. It really makes sense to have the refrigerator on top - that is where you spend most of your time. When we bought the old one, it was an emergency situation. The prior one was leaking on the floor and was no longer cooling. Fifteen years ago the freezer on the bottom was just starting to get popular but we were in no situation to wait for delivery. We had to take what they had on hand. Now the freezer on the bottom is by no means unique. What is - is this freezer's design. There are 3 compartments in the freezer. I used to have a chest freezer in the basement and everything would get los...

Mensa Member?

I think Mickey is a member of Mensa. We heard him last night but could not determine where he was in the kitchen (or should I say the Sous Chef could not locate him - I certainly was not looking). He had been lurking in the toaster cabinet the night before and averted the glue trap. This is absolute torture. Still no cooking going on.

Nothing in the Larder

Well there's nothing left in the freezer except some peeps from Easter.  Shockingly they are good until 2016 - that's reassuring huh? This raises a few questions: Why do I keep peeps in the freezer? Well they are delicious frozen.  I don't know why I havent eaten them yet??? Why is the freezer empty? because we are getting a new refrigerator. This one is 15 years old and quite frankly it owes us nothing.  Every once it a while it lets out a big sigh. We figured we better replace it before it lets out one last final sigh. Why am I calling it the larder? Well I think of that Simpson's episodes where Moe calls Homer fancy for calling the garage a garage and not a car hole. I know it's not the same but it just makes me laugh and gives me an excuse to find that clip on youtube. So the delivery is set for the end of the week. We moved everything from the freezer to the downstairs freezer. The only thing that got thrown ou...
