So at tea-time having 4 egg whites spare, I decided to turn them into meringue. That was my first mistake.

I whisked them with sugar and icing sugar, and they weren’t thickening. Please do not give me any advice on what I should have done next!!

So I poured mixture into my Bullet mixer and set it going. David not happy – watching tv and couldn’t hear it for noise. I took it into another room where we couldn’t hear it.

THEN FORGOT ABOUT IT. (This is sadly becoming the norm)

I could smell burning and on walking into the room I couldn’t believe my eyes. 4 chuffing egg yolks – they must have multiplied in the machine.
