Cheese-puffs for the day after tomorrow
I was going to skip this assignment, because I couldn’t find any people in my life that I thought should make a project together that I hadn’t already introduced to each other. But then, out of the blue, it wasn’t me who got to be the “introducer”. I realized that pinterest had already introduced me to a new friend and made us do a project together! When I pinned “The Wartime Cookbook” to my “History”-board someone I’d never met on the other side of the world commented that she wanted to try one of the recipes. That sounded like fun and I answered that I would do it to.
“Cheese puffs
6 slices of bread 2 tablespoons butter ½ cup grated cheese 1/3 teaspoon baking powder 1/3 teaspoon salt 1 egg, separated Cut 2-inch rounds from bread and toast lightly on one side. Spread butter on untoasted side. Mix cheese, baking powder, salt, and beaten egg yolk; fold in stiffly beaten egg white. Spread thickly over buttered side of bread and place close together on cookie sheet. Place under pre-heated broiler until puffed and light brown.”
Through this project we got talking and found a lot of common ground that we would have had to live without otherwise. I am truly grateful for this new person in my life who makes me see things from a new but familiar perspective and makes my own thought flow so much easier! And the cheese-puffs where also quite tasty! (Even though we both decided to not cut our bread in circles, to avoid waste.)
