Living Rawesome Day #43 Keylime Tartlets Filling pg. 124 everyday raw
September 6, 2009
Today has been a day of ups and downs. I have felt very emotional. I am concerned about my Chemistry class. We are going to be tested on a chapter that I haven’t read yet and I really don’t think that we should be tested on it. I am considering dropping the class. It has gotten off to a rocky start. I think it will be an easy class, but I also think that we are being rushed to learn many chapters in a short period of time. Our original teacher didn’t show up for the first 3 classes. On the fourth day it was announced that we have a new teacher. I am not sure how I really am feeling about this class, but I will try my hardest on Tuesday, then I’ll let you know. Anatomy is going great. I have an exam on Wednesday, so needless to say, I have been studying all weekend. Thank you Lord for the holiday weekend. I still have to go into work tomorrow, the deli case is really empty. I will be working my tail off tomorrow. I will still go over to my parents house for a picnic, but I will just get there a little late.
I made the filling for the keylime pie today. It came out so much thicker than the lemon macaroon. The pie crust was not all the way dehydrated, so I couldn’t take it off the plastic. I like the filling, but the lemon is definitely my favorite. I think that there should be more lime juice in it. The thickness was really unexpected. I was hoping to decorate the pie, but the consistency reminded me of play-doh. Hardly like pie filling. Maybe I did something wrong. I wanted to make the design like M.K. did in his book, but not with this pie:(. One day I’ll get it right. The last time I made the lemon macaroon, I was in a rush to finish it, so I didn’t decorate it. Tonight I was in the mood to be creative, to ease my stress, but I couldn’t. Today is just one of those days. Maybe my negative energy went into the pie. When I mess up raw food, especially desserts I don’t even want to serve them. Sad I know, but I feel like it really isn’t good enough to serve. I am sure they won’t notice that it isn’t the best pie I’ve ever made, IT DEFINITELY ISN’T THE WORST, EITHER.
I am shooting for a great reaction tomorrow, when everyone tries it. If not I know someone else who may like it.
I may not be there yet, but I’m closer than I was yesterday. ~Author Unknown
