4 egg whites, room temperature (old egg whites work best)

4 kiwi, peeled and sliced

Pinch of salt

¾ c sugar

½ tsp vanilla

1½ c whipped cream

1 tsp white vinegar

Equipment:

oven

baking paper

baking sheet

stand mixer

hand mixer

whisk

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat your oven to 250F with the rack in the lower third of the oven. Place your egg whites and salt in a very clean glass or metal bowl. In a small bowl, mix together your cornstarch and sugar. In another small bowl, mix together your vinegar and vanilla. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Now we're ready to get whipping.Using the wire whisks of your stand mixer or electric hand mixer, begin beating your egg white and salt mixture on a low speed, steadily increasing up to medium high. The whites will get frothy and then turn to soft peaks. (The egg whites have reached soft peaks when you can turn off your mixer and lift the beaters out of the fluffy egg whites and you get peaks that fold back down on themselves.)Once the egg whites have reached soft peaks, start adding your sugar and cornstarch mixture, slowly (about 1-2 Tbsp at a time), while beating on medium high speed. Once all the sugar has been added, continue beating until the egg whites hold stiff peaks, this could take up to 5 minutes. (You've reached stiff peaks when you can turn off your mixer and lift the beaters out of the egg whites and you get peaks that stand at attention and don't fold over.)Add the vinegar and vanilla mixture to the egg whites and beat for another 20-30 seconds, just until they are fully incorporated.Scoop the meringue onto the parchment lined baking sheet, using roughly c for each mini pavlova. Gently shape the meringues into nests, with a slight indentation in the middle, leaving roughly 1 inch space between them. (The meringues will grow slightly in the oven.)Put the meringue in the oven and bake for 45-55 min. The pavlova are done when the outside shell is starting to firm up and get dry to the touch (not tacky) and they are just starting to get lightly golden. (The shell will continue to dry out, but only a little, as they cool.)Turn off the oven, leaving the pavlova inside. (This will allow the pavlova to cool slowly, keeping them from falling due to drastic temperature shifts.) Leave the pavlova in the oven 1-2 hours, or until cooled. (They can be left in the oven overnight as long as your house isnt humid.)To store the pavlova shells, place them in an airtight container on the counter. They will keep this way for several days.Just before serving, top the pavlovas with whipped cream and fresh fruit.

Food Joke

Copyright 1999 W. Bruce Cameron Every Wednesday morning for the past nine years, my wife has interrupted the usual flow of chaos by shrieking, "oh my gosh, it's trash day!" The children, all three of whom are in various stages of school preparation, react to this statement as if she has just spoken Romanian, stopping and staring at her in numb incomprehension. "Hurry!" my wife urges them. Being obedient children, they immediately proceed to hurry. However, with no specific instructions beyond that, they don't seem to be hurrying to do anything in particular--certainly, trash collection is in no way involved. They bump into each other in the hallway a lot, shouting at each other to "get out of the way!" "Gather up all the garbage!" my wife and I command. The kids respond by forming a committee to debate the fairness of this directive. After a brief discussion, they reach the consensus that everyone should be held responsible for his or her "own" junk. As corollary to this absurd principle, they initiate an anthropologic study into the contents of each receptacle. For example, since the parents cook, most of the trash under the sink is "theirs." My oldest daughter haughtily declares that she "never" throws anything away. My son, checking through the downstairs trash can to gather evidence that he's not accountable for that one, begins to feel remorse over some of the things he's discarded, and starts pulling items out. "We're running late!" my wife warns. This could be our Official Family Motto. I recently purchased a shredder for my confidential documents, only to discover I don't have any confidential documents. However, a fifteen-year-old girl's entire life is cause for secrecy, and I can hear her using the device now, grinding up correspondence from her friends in school. "We don't have time for that!" I tell her. A few minutes later, my son joins her and begins shredding what sounds like a potato. The school bus chugs by, and I pick up the phone to call the attendance line. "For absences, press 1," the recording tells me. "For late arrivals, press 2. If you're the Camerons calling because it's trash day, press 3." "We're pigs," my oldest daughter announces. I regard her warily. "We throw away too much stuff." "It would be better just to dump it all on the floor in your bedroom like you do," I agree. Despite my expectations, a single garbage can has now found its way to the curb. My son places it in the center of the driveway, so that no one will be able to drive to work. A gusty wind blows an empty milk jug out of the container and into the woods. My boy responds with the reflexes of a glacier, watching the carton bounce away. I open the door. "Hey!" I tell him. "Go get that!" He stares at me blankly. "The milk jug!" I yell. "Oh, okay, Dad!" he responds cheerfully. Having seen his bus pass by has put him in a euphoric mood. He picks up a second plastic milk container and, to my amazement, tosses it into the wind, jubilantly clapping his hands as it flies into the trees. "Why did you do that?" I shriek. "Well it seemed like a waste of time to go after just one!" he responds logically. He'll make someone a fine husband someday. All week long my children have been denying that the kitchen trash needs to be emptied, jumping up and down on the contents to compress them. As a result, when I drag the plastic container from under the sink, it weighs as much as a collapsed star. I wrestle it to the end of the driveway and the neighborhood dogs trot up to see what the Camerons will have on the breakfast buffet this morning. My daughter is right; we do throw too much stuff away. By the time we're finished, we've dragged so much junk out to the end of my driveway it resembles the inside of my garage. The shredder falls silent and the kids go to school, and what passes for peace at the Cameron house settles over the morning. Until next Wednesday.
