Bombe diggy

On a whim, and without consulting a recipe, I decided to make an ice cream bombe/sort-of Baked Alaska. I used Haagen-Dazs strawberry & mango ice creams (inspired by Kelly-Jane's recent homemade sorbets), layered and frozen in the pudding mould DG sent me. I have made ice cream and I prefer the taste of H-D b/c it seems creamier and less-sugary to me than my homemade ice cream. And so that's what I buy. I made the meringue just with egg whites and sugar, and piled it on. Now, I set the oven on broil, and realize that I should have preheated it on the bake setting at 400F probably. The broiler got it too hot on top and didn't evenly brown the meringue, so I had to pull the bombe out as it was before burning the top. This is what it's like to cook with me. I've never been a patient person and I'm also not detail-oriented. Add four children to the equation, and you know, sometimes "good enough" is good enough for me. It was not perfect, but it was very, very good to eat! It's a really nice summery treat, and although I served it forth, for no apparent reason, at 3:00-ish, of course it would make a very pretty dinner dessert. Well, you know, if you made it properly.
