Welcome to
Cappuccino’s Freebie Caf?.
Good
morning everyone!!!
My
85-yeor-old mother has been hospitalized the past few weeks
with a fractured leg. The surgery went well but she is now
battling a serious case of pneumonia. It has been touch and
go for her this past weekend with little or no improvement
in sight.
As I am
at the hospital every day, I will not have much time to
produce a newsletter next week. I know, I’ve said this
before and you still got one but this time, I’m not so sure.

meantime, check out this week’s freebies and if you missed

thing, I’ve been made aware that some folks have

Today’s Recipes
The Perfect Lemon Meringue Pie
Here’s the marriage of the perfect crust, the richest lemon filling, and the best meringue. This may be the best lemon meringue pie recipe ever.
For the crust:
2/3 cup butter 1/3 cup cold water 1 teaspoon vinegar 1 1/3 cup pastry or all-purpose flour 1 tablespoons granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
1 cup sugar 1/3 cup cornstarch 1 cup water 1/2 cup lemon juice 6 large egg yolks 1 tablespoons lemon zest 3 tablespoons butter
For the meringue:
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/2 cup water 6 large egg whites 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cream of tartar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions for Crust
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
1. Cut the butter into chunks and put it in the freezer for 20 minutes. It is important that the butter be partially
frozen. Measure the water and put it in the freezer. Add the vinegar to the water.
2. Mix the flour, sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl.
3. With a pastry knife, cut the butter into the flour
mixture, continuing to cut until the mixture becomes coarse and
grainy. Add the water all at once. Mix with a fork until the dough starts to come together and then knead it with your hands until you form a dough ball. Add another teaspoon of water or a little flour if necessary to reach the right
constituency.
Refrigerate the dough ball for 20 minutes.
4. Roll the dough out into a disk large enough to fit in a nine-inch pie pan with a 3/4-inch hang over.
5. Place the dough in a dark nine-inch pie pan and form the crust. Form a fluted edge with your fingers. The crust should not have any seams through which the filling can leak. Prick the bottom of the crust lightly but not enough to completely penetrate the crust.
6. Line the unbaked crust with a sheet of aluminum foil. Place pie weights in the foil-lined crust. Bake for ten minutes.
Remove the pie weights and bake for another ten minutes or until the pie crust is lightly browned. For a crispy crust,
do not under bake.
Baker’s note: While making the crust, we do not want to let the dough get warm enough to melt the butter. Therefore it
is important that the water and butter be ice cold. It is necessary that the butter remain a solid and not become a liquid. Work quickly to keep the butter cold and do not handle the dough any more than is necessary.
Directions for Filling
1. In a medium pan, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Add a little of the water and stir until the sugar is
dissolved and the cornstarch is mixed in without lumps. Add the rest of the water and lemon juice and whisk until smooth.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring often with a whisk, for five minutes or until the slurry thickens and is
translucent.
3. Add the eggs yolks and zest and whisk well. Cook for another two minutes, stirring with the whisk constantly. The filling should be simmering.
4. Remove the filling from the heat and stir in the butter. Let cool for ten minutes and then scrape the filling into baked pie crust. Refrigerate the pie for two hours.
Directions for Merengue
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
1. In a small saucepan, mix the sugar and water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar water boils rapidly, stirring occasionally. Cook for four minutes. The sugar syrup should reach the soft ball stage, 234 to 240 degrees with your candy thermometer.
2. While the sugar syrup is cooking, whip the egg whites. In a steel or glass bowl completely free of any fat residue, beat the egg whites, salt, and cream of tarter together
until soft, not stiff, peaks form. Try to time the initial beating of the egg whites so that it is done not more than five minutes before the syrup is cooked.
3. While beating the egg whites with an electric mixer, drizzle the hot syrup down the side of the bowl and into the softly beaten egg whites. Add the vanilla. Continue beating until stiff, glassy peaks form.
4. With a spatula, scrape the meringue onto the pie. Spread the meringue to the edge and seal the meringue to the crust. Use the spatula to form an attractive mountain of meringue with peaks and ridges. Bake the pie for six to eight minutes or until the meringue is attractively browned. (Further baking is unnecessary since the meringue is already cooked.)
Baker’s notes:
Eggs whites at room temperature beat to a higher volume. You can bring your eggs to room temperature by placing them in a bowl of warm water for five minutes. Any fat in the bowl will retard the formation of foam in the egg whites. Plastic bowls often carry an unseen sheen of fat within the surface of the bowl.
The intention of the hot syrup drizzled into the egg whites is to cook the egg whites to a temperature of 160 degrees.
The cooked egg whites will be much more stable and less likely to weep. Cooked egg whites are also less susceptible to bacteria. Use your insta-read thermometer and check the temperature of the egg whites after adding the syrup. If the egg white mixture is not close to 160 degrees, discard the mixture and start again.

Daily Funnies
Sportsman’s Double
A man ended up with an older woman at a club. She looked okay for a 59-year-old.
They drank a bit, had a bit of a snuggle and she asked if he’d ever had a Sportsman's Double.
"What's that?" he asked.
"It a mother and daughter threesome," she said.
He said, "No."
They drank a bit more, then she says that this was his lucky night.
They went back to her place. She put on the hall light and shouted up the stairs:
"Mom, you still awake?

White Lie Cake
Have you ever told a white lie? You are going to love
this, especially all of the ladies who bake for church events. Alice Grayson was to bake a cake for the Baptist
Church Ladies' Group in Tuscaloosa,
but forgot to do it until the last minute. She remembered it the morning of the bake sale and after rummaging through cabinets, found an angel food cake mix and quickly made it while drying her hair, dressing, and helping her son pack up for Scout camp.
When Alice took
the cake from the oven, the center had dropped flat and the cake was horribly disfigured. she said, "Oh dear, there is not time to bake another cake."
This cake was important to Alice
because she did so want to fit in at her new church, and in her new community of friends. So, being inventive, she looked around the house for something to build up the center of the cake.
Alice found it
in the bathroom-a roll of Toilet paper. She plunked it in and then covered it with icing. Not only did
the finished product look beautiful, it looked perfect.
Before she left the house to drop the cake by the church and head for work, Alice
woke her daughter and gave her some money and specific instructions to be at the bake sale the moment it opened at 9:30
and to buy the cake and bring it home.
When the daughter arrived at the sale, she found the attractive, perfect! cake had already been sold. Amanda grabbed her cell phone and called her mom. Alice
was horrified-she was beside herself.
Everyone would know! What would they think? She would be ostracized, talked about, ridiculed! All night, Alice
lay awake in bed thinking about people pointing fingers at her and talking about her behind her back.
The next day, Alice
promised herself she would try not to think about the cake and would attend the fancy luncheon/bridal shower at the home of a fellow church member and try to have a good time. Alice
did not really want to attend because the hostess was a snob who more than once had looked down her nose the fact Alice
was a single parent and not from the founding families of
Tuscaloosa, but
having already RSVP’d, she couldn't think of a believable excuse to stay home.
The meal was elegant, the company was definitely upper crust old south and to Alice's
horror, the cake in question was presented for dessert!
Alice felt the
blood drain from her body when she saw the cake! She started out of her chair to tell the hostess all
about it, but before she could get to her feet, the Mayor's wife
said, "what a beautiful cake!"
Alice still
stunned, sat back in her chair when she heard the hostess (who was a prominent church member) say, "Thank you, I baked it myself."
