merengue (just kidding! meringues)

My sister Lauren makes the best meringues.  They are amazing and my mom and I would beg her almost daily to make a batch of meringues.  When she went back to BYU last August, she left a void that I'm now going to fill with meringues.

I called Lauren last night to ask for her recipe.  She never use one, which is just as well because I hate following recipes anyway.  She instructed me on the basics of meringue (not to be confused with the dance merengue) and I prepared to make my first ever batch of them.

Making the batter/egg white foam/mix/whatever was actually pretty easy and it was just a matter of waiting for the airy little cookies to dry out in the oven.

They actually tasted really great but they look like crap... literally.
