       I am at it again. Making crème brûlée means having tons of leftover egg whites, so I looked up a gluten-free angel food cake recipe. I made that today with the egg whites from this batch of crème brûlée that I'm making for my mom's birthday celebration tomorrow. It is still a chestnut crème brûlée, but I am not finishing the top with roasted chestnuts this time. That is too much work! I will probably be making a berry sauce for the angel food cake, though, because it does look like it turned out well, and I think I have some frozen berries in the freezer.I believe we have decided on a pizza party, but I'm not sure that my mom likes pizza. That means me loading my pizza oven and its stand and accoutrement into the car tomorrow. But that gives me a chance to clean the car out! I've still got four tables in it from last week's harvest party.It was nice to cook things today. It felt like I had a little time at home and to myself, and it was rejuvenating. I often find cooking to be relaxing, especially when it turns out well.

       My culinary torch crapped out on me! Ended up having to broil the crème brûlée under the broiler and broiled unevenly. So they look ugly, but they taste fine. That's what I get for buying a torch for under $20. Lesson learned. 😖
