So pissed.
As lame as our evening was going to be - sitting in the dealer's waiting room and a casual dinner out - I was really looking forward to it because I don't see much of DH anymore.
But these @#$@#@#%~! plumbers took so long at the Home Effing Depot that DH had to go without me. So much for dinner. I'm stuck babysitting these baffoons and I'm seriously pissed they ruined my evening.

I'm sorry! My evening was ruined too. I had an awesome dinner planned for H and I, but, since he's in sales and it's the last day of the sales month for them, he has to run as many appointments as he can, and his boss scheduled him one for 8 pm tonight 1.5 hours from our house, so he'll be home at 10:30-11.
Maybe I'll make him dessert instead and be waiting in a little secksy something...

woohooo! Have fun making pecan pie! I love the smell of pies baking, it's just not conducive to the diet right now. I'm thinking of making baked alaska peaches from this month's Real Simple magazine.
They left and I spent an hour cleaning the disgusting mess they left behind. They have to come back in a couple days to tile it. I'm REALLY looking forward to that.
Pecan pie is in the oven. As I was making it I was like, that's a lot of corn syrup gross. Then I looked at the recipe - 540 calories PER SLICE. That's almost half my daily allotment! I'm going to have to find the restraint to not have a piece of it, and it smells so good baking...

It is healthy!
2 large egg whites, at room temperature
pinch of kosher salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp pure almond or vanilla extract
2 large peaches, halved and pitted
2/3 cup vanilla ice cream
1) Heat oven to 450 F. Place a baking sheet in the freezer for at least 10 minutes
2) Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites and salt on medium until foamy. Increase speed to high. When it begins to form mounds, gradually add the sugar, 1 tbsp at a time and beat until stiff and glossy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the almond extract
3) Cut a thin slice from the round side of each peach half (to stabilize it) and place on the chilled baking sheet. Spoon the ice cream into the cavity of each peach half and mound the meringue on top, enclosing the ice cream.
4) bake until the meringue is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
Serves: 4.
