Aw, kids! They look like people, but are actually mostly animals.
This made me laugh like crazy.
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's true, though. They don't know how to act or what is actually going on a lot of the time. Up until like 8 years old.(NB: I am not a scientist.)
ION, can I make meringue with just one egg white?

Jesse, a really small one?

Very small! I wonder if it will be enough volume to even whip? I guess I can just try and see what happens.

Definitely depends on how much meringue you need, Jesse! But you can make SOME....egg whites whip up to a lot of volume.
The twins are four now, meara. Kindergarten starts in one year and one week! Amazing.
Wow! Seems like they were just born. Time flies around here.

You can whip one egg white! I've done it! Though I didn't make meringue, but the theory is sound. I've made, I think, souffles?

Because books.
This made me laugh like crazy.
Me, too. It is so, so true.
Hey, Rick, do you have any good recs for books about identical twins? I would like to read up a little bit before I start the story I'm working on.

Amy, the most accessible book is Entwined Lives, by Nancy Segal. It goes more to the human interest side than the obstetric or genetic epidemiology sides where most of the literature on twins is found.

I knew if anyone here had actually done it, it would be you, -t! I have a recipe for 6 individual desserts, but the ingredients are all divisible by 3, so I just want to make two.

Thanks, Rick!
