bake me a cake

Sunday night I found myself restless. I was just getting over a cold and thus had been contained in the house a lot, and Sunday the husband found himself with the same cold and many a movies had been watched on our little TV.

I decided it was a good time for me to bake a little bread. After some quick mixing, I found it in the rising stage, and I still had little to do.

I looked around the kitchen in my restlessness, and decided to make a dessert. I thought about brownies, but wasn't motivated. I my eyes fell on the plethora of grapefruits in my fruit bowl. They had been on sale 10 for $1 and snatched up 10. There 8/10 of them still sat.

Don't get me wrong, I like grapefruit, but they take more effort to eat than a grab-n-go fruit, so they often get over looked.

So I googled Grapefruit dessert, checked out my options and found this Grapefruit Meringue cake. It was quite a task, with the cake, custard and meringue, and I'd say the review was fair to good, I'd make some improvements if repeated. But it made for a fun evening, and a mess of a kitchen!



UPDATE: The bread challenge of 2009 is going well so far- we've tried out several recipes and enjoying fresh bread in the house. Still looking for a PERFECT recipe, but we have a favorite and are still trying them out, so if you have a recipe for the running, I'd love to try it out!
