Lavon and Miss NiNi discuss a recipe for meringues.
CHOCOLATE PARISIENNE MERINGUES—adapted from ifood.tv
INGREDIENTS:
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Prepare cookie sheets by covering with parchment paper.
In large bowl of mixer, beat egg whites with vinegar and salt until foamy. Beat in granulated sugar, 1T. at a time until firm peaks form. (Adding the sugar in small amounts helps dissolve the sugar during the beating process.) Gently fold in grated chocolate and almonds.
Fit a piping bag with a ¼-inch round decorating tip. Gently put stiffly beaten batter into piping bag and squeeze out the air from the bag. Position the tip and bag directly over prepared pan and pipe meringues onto parchment, making the size of a Hershey’s Kiss. Leave 1 inch of space between the meringues. (Or can drop half-teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheets.)
Put meringues into preheated oven. Turn oven off. (Yes, that’s correct.) Meringues will remain in the oven with the oven door closed overnight or until oven is completely cool. Remove meringues from oven.
Melt semisweet chocolate pieces with shortening in a small heavy saucepan over low heat. Gently pick up meringue, and dip half of cookie into chocolate and place on parchment-lined cookie sheet. Allow to sit until chocolate is firm.
Yield: About 12 dozen meringues.

The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office says one person was hurt during an accident that took place at around 10-a.m. Sunday, south of Harlan. Officials say a 2003 Jeep driven by Khrystyne Napolitano-Gustafson, of Harlan, was traveling west on 800th Street and came to a stop at the intersection with Highway 59, but then turned into the path of a northbound 1997 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Shirley Jensen, of Audubon.
After the vehicles collided in the intersection, the Jeep came to rest in the intersection, while the pickup came to rest in the east ditch. Napolitano-Gustafson was transported by Medivac Ambulance to Myrtue Memorial Hospital in Harlan for treatment of minor injuries. Jensen was checked-out at the scene, but refused treatment.
Both vehicles sustained major damage. Napolitano-Gustafson was cited by deputies for Failure to Yield.

AMES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa State linebacker Levi Peters won’t play his senior season because of a number of foot and knee injuries. Peters, who started his career as a walk-on, made nine starts last season and ranked fifth in the Big 12 with three forced fumbles.
Peters had a pair of surgeries on his left knee before enrolling at Iowa State. Peters also had his left foot surgically repaired twice while with the Cyclones, and those combined with a torn Achilles tendon in his right foot have been too painful to recover from. Peters, a captain, told the team about his decision to retire Monday. Peters is the second Iowa State linebacker to walk away this winter. Luke Knott left the team in February, also citing numerous injuries.
