Convenience foods can be a blessing, especially when there's no allergens involved. Thanks SO much for the link to your Coconut Black-Eyed African Bean recipe, too. Black-eyed peas are a staple here in the South and your rendition sounds delicious. (So do your smoked chipotle sausages!)<br /><br />Incredibly (or ironically) there's a box of Rice Krispies (er...I mean, Rice Bubbles) on the counter IMK to make a batch of "treats" for the local football team tomorrow. Isn't it cool how different yet similar our worlds (and kitchens) are?! Lovin' your blue corn tortilla chips and truckload of chocolate, too. :) xoKim Bultmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519996748355450548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-49715946718821803102016-11-06T22:14:30.857+11:002016-11-06T22:14:30.857+11:00Thanks Caeli - I think the meringues took longer t...Thanks Caeli - I think the meringues took longer this time than last time - the first lot I piped were quite sturdy but the second were softer (not sure if I should have beat them again before the second lot got piped) - hope you have another goJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-84206551553286149132016-11-06T22:13:23.180+11:002016-11-06T22:13:23.180+11:00Thanks Kari - I had thought everyone knew that mer...Thanks Kari - I had thought everyone knew that meringues are made of eggwhite and sugar but at least I have planted an alternative idea in their heads and hope it might be useful to them one day!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-91762647237282229432016-11-06T22:12:18.946+11:002016-11-06T22:12:18.946+11:00Thanks Around the Mulberry Tree - yes I love purpl...Thanks Around the Mulberry Tree - yes I love purple cabbage and learning about new ingredients and ideasJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-67872575000750592292016-11-06T22:11:32.712+11:002016-11-06T22:11:32.712+11:00Thanks Amanda - have put a link in now that I have...Thanks Amanda - have put a link in now that I have posted my chocolate and black tahini biscuitsJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-65098855030312236512016-11-06T22:11:02.403+11:002016-11-06T22:11:02.403+11:00Thanks Joey - last year i tried AF marshmallow gho...Thanks Joey - last year i tried AF marshmallow ghosts for Halloween and they did not have enough backbone to stand up but I think trying ghosts with AF meringues would work better though I would struggle to get the height - I did think of putting them on a cake but then we ate them first :-)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-7718779546869893572016-11-06T21:57:13.956+11:002016-11-06T21:57:13.956+11:00Thanks Mae - Snap Crackle and Pop have the same na...Thanks Mae - Snap Crackle and Pop have the same names though I don't know how to spell them but I was amazed to see rice bubbles wasn't used everywhere when I started blogging!
