I've had two firsts today. It's the first time I've made a pumpkin pie and it's the first time I've made a base from scratch. It was alot harder that just getting a store bought base and pouring the mix in but I like to think it was worth it.
The pumpkin pie was alright it was really different from anything I've had before. Normally I'd either have chocolate or sponge cake. This was soo different to what I'm used to. Overall it turned out quite well. The only problem is I don't know what pumpkin pie is meant to taste like so I dont know if I did it right or wrong. It tasted pretty decent thought so I guess it was a success.
Since the base only needed the yolks of egg I seperated the whites and had my second attempt at making meringues. Lets just say it's the second time I've failed at making chewy and crisp meringues, but each time I'm learning that little bit more so fingers crossed next time I attempt to make meringue that I do it perfect from start to finish and have a new thing to add to my list of baking.
Baking seems to help with things, but I've realised it only helps when I'm alone in the kitchen, when there's someone else there it stresses me out because they always mess with my plan and it throws me off and instead of helping, it makes me more stressed and agrivated. Everyday I'm learning new things about myself and the person I am. Baking only takes my mind off things when I'm alone and doing things at my own pace.
Lots of love
