Quick! Name the summeriest thing you can think of. Sand-crusted weekends at the beach? Long, sticky days at the pool working on your skin cancer tan? Frosty drinks beneath a palm tree? Hearing that horrible Iggy Azalea song one too many times and throwing your radio across the room in disgust?
You could not have PAID me enough money to eat spumoni ice cream as a child. Okay, that's probably a lie. I was perpetually broke and hustlin' like only a third grader who reeeaaally wants a new Dr. Pepper Lip Smackers can hustle. I most definitely would have eaten spumoni ice cream for money.
Let us now take a moment of silence to honor the 30+ egg whites who gave their lives in service of making the perfect hazelnut meringue. Rest in peace, good buddies. Lest you gasp and clutch your grocery budget in horror, this recipe doesn't require anywhere near 30 egg whites.

A kiss on the hand may be quite continental, but glittering black sugar sprinkles and sparkling orange hard candies are a girl's best friend... That's right, friends, it's not all panna cotta skull graveyards and moldy tarts around here-we can do glamorous Halloween food, too!
Father's Day is coming. That probably means you should be stocking up on beef, and beer, and brats, and everything else men in sitcoms and Super Bowl commercials appear to love. Me, I'll just be over here shoving goat cheese into brownies and calling it a day.
