Has anyone made meringue cookies, and if so, are there any tricks of the trade you could share? I am planning to make a bunch for a party in two weeks!

Dee, I have never made meringue cookies, but for meringues I ALWAYS use parchment paper. Saves a lot of heart ache.

Lumbele, that is good to know, thank you. Do you mean that when you use a meringue topping you over it with paper to prevent browning?

With regard to the cream cheese, freeze thing, I have sad news to tell you. I got my new package of cream cheese to do my test and it says right on the package, DO NOT FREEZE. I am bummed. I was stunned. I will try to freeze it as a part of a dip and see how that turns out. I will let you know.

Dee, no. I meant to put parchment paper on your cookie sheet. The meringue will come off much easier since it is very brittle by nature.

Martha Stewart has been found guilty on all four counts. Baconavich guilty on 4 out of 5. Possible twenty years for each. By the way - I know this thread is about cooking, it's just the most OT thread to post this in for General Discussions.

I think you will be able to write to her at Danbury.

I'm sincerely shocked by the verdict.

An attorney on a talk radio station in Chicago said he believes Martha would most likely be sentenced to only 12 - 24 months in minimum security.

Yep, Danbury is where she's going I would guess. Elix87, why are you shocked? It looked like she was guilty from the evidence I have heard. She opened her mouth too much and tried to cover it up, though not discreetly. If she had just admitted in the beginning instead of totally denying everything, there would probably have been no case. But she pissed everyone off by lying and being arrogant. Federal prisons are like country clubs with amenities that some of us don't even have.

Eliz87, I too am shocked and not pleased with the verdict. I see this as a step back for woman...

I sure hope they can use what the juror said in their appeal..he called it a "victory for the little guys"...like he wanted Martha to pay for all the wrongdoing by all the CEO's out there. I bet they couldn't find one rich person in New York who hasn't done what Martha did (and I am not even a Martha fan!)

Here is the phone message Martha received and her altered one.

The testimony is that she altered the message and THEN changed her mind. She put the message back to the original form. If the govt has an altered message, they changed it for exhibit purposes.

Apparently WCBS has taken Martha's show off the air effective immediately. Whatever. Today I turned on Food Network, which I watch on Saturdays so I can catch up on cooking tips while I read and/or grade papers, and they had that awful "Semi-Hime Made" woman on. This is just to show you how far we will fall if Mrtha is taken from us. Semi-home made woman made deserts out of won ton wrappers she fried and smothered in Cool Whip (apparently she cannot whip her own cream, either) and then made something she called "beer margueritas" (mix together beer, tequila, and ice in a pitcher and voila!) which she served in--get this--red wine glasses. Doesn't Food Network have proper marguerita glases? Even martini glasses would have been preferable. Instead, red wine glasses with salt on the rim.... I can feel us backsliding already into the bad taste of the 1980s. Looks like it's time to invest in shoulder pads and canned vegetables.

Hey, I miss shoulder pads (they're so slimming for the waist).

Did the Food Network take Martha off too? This is so ridiculous. Just because she is a felon doesnt mean she has lost her touch.

Maris, I think I heard they were able to somehow retrieve the original message.

They didnt need to retrieve the original. That whole thing abut the message was such crap. Martha had gottent he message then when the investigation started she stood at her assistants desk and changed the message but she changed her mind and went back to the original message. Basically she had an impulse to change the message and realized it was wrong and changed it back. The prosecution used that as an example of her intent to obstruct justice. The fact is she never used the edited message. I thought that whole thing was nonsense.
