I can bake! So far...
Coconut Meringue Cookies
Ingredients
1 & 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
2 egg whites (Room temperature)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Dash of Creme of Tartar
Dash of salt
2/3 cup granulated sugar
Directions
Beat egg whites and dashes of salt & cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
Gradually add in sugar and vanilla extract while beating until peaks are stiff and glossy.
Fold in coconut.
Drop by rounded teaspoon onto greased baking sheet.
These guys are sticky! So really grease that sheet!
Bake at 325 F 16-20 minutes until set and very slightly browned.
Center will still be soft and yummy.
Number of Servings: 20, but I make mine a bit bigger. So more like 10-15.

Pulque UPDATE - La Pulqueria Costa Mesa
Well folks I finally got my Pulque. And it was good!
However I did not get to try the strawberry (fresa).
I will say stay away from Piña Colada. Unless want old vomit after taste.
What better way to enjoy my Pulque then with Julian and Bradlee. Not to mention by the light of the full moon. Mind you this full moon was the closest to the earth it has been in years. This caused such a bright moon light that it hurt to look at it. Oh sweet lunacy.
So how does it taste? Well... Like Pulque I suppose. There's not to much I can say.
Bitter? Yes. Sweet? A little. Did it get you drunk. You betcha! Diarrhea? NO!!
I will definitely be buying this again. And again.
"After the rains, my father is going to start harvesting again".
Julian had told me.
I really want to document this before Pulque and the art of harvesting & creating it is gone forever.
I really hope to put up a blog on that subject. Stick around and see what happens.
I must give a shout out to the super friendly staff at:
El Toro Carniceria-Meat Shop
1340 West 1st Street Santa Ana, CA 92703-3723(714) 836-1393
That is where I got the stuff. They also carry many other great beers, tequila & mezcal.
Super cheap. Super nice. Give them your money!
