Meatloaf and a tip 2-20-2010

The Italian Pilot is always talking about his tool box when it comes to the kitchen. SO, the Princess got a basket for all of the spices and such to go in. It is really nice because when The Princess is getting ready to cook she pulls it out of the pantry and they are all there handy and ready to go.



First the Princess took two pieces of bread and broke them all up.

Then the Princess added the spices. The princess is still learning so she doesn't do them all from scratch yet. So the princess used the packet from McCormick.

Then two eggs were added by the Princess.


Then some milk... You can hardly tell but you can see it a little in the left hand side of the picture, directly across from the eggs.. see it....

Then the Princess added a pound of meat.

Then for some odd reason the Princess used her royal hand to mix it all... Kind of seemed like fun like playing in some kind of meaty sand like a little kid. It was fun, you should try it. As you can see though since the Princess used her "clean" hand to take the picture it is always best to keep on hand for the messy stuff and one for the clean stuff.


Then she put it in the pan. The Princess has to work tomorrow so she just made this for the king and queen to throw in the oven. Hopefully the queen will remember to take a pic for the blog.. if not, the princess will make another one. The king and queen are having baked potatoes with the meatloaf.

The Princess makes a pie!

The princess and the Italian Pilot were talking to a brother in Christ about desserts. The Princess likes dessert... a lot.. maybe to much, but that is another issue for another blog. So the brother e-mail the how to to the Princess and she DID IT!!!

It all started with sugar, baking soda and salt in a pan, on the stove. It looked like things were going well.



Then the Princess hit a bit of a snag. The directions said to use 4 egg yolks. She sent a text to the Italian pilot. "When the recipe calls for egg yolk it is the yellow part right" While she was waiting for a reply she found this video.

Then she got a text back from the Italian Pilot that said basically the same thing so she went for it... and LOOK!! It worked!



This is the part where the princess was a little concerned. The directions said to stir it the whole time. The Princess did a little research and sometimes pudding burns when you are making it. The Princess prayed that it would work.... and... wait for it.. wait for it...



IT DID WORK!!! See how it got kind of thick. The princess followed the directions and it worked!! Now, I am leaving some of the instructions out. If you would like the instructions just leave a comment and the princess will send them to you.



Finally the Princess added the vanilla, and the coconut and butter... and LOOK it is a PIE!!!
