ice cream, charming child & guinness

My mom and I used to make chocolate chip meringue cookies ALL the time! (Which may really mean three or four times, but my memory is ALL THE TIME.) Those, and blond brownies. And, yes, I recall being told in later years how difficult meringue was, but it was something we just did.

(And, yes. Best when very fresh.)

Those are the best kinds of compliments, I think: you know he means it completely and absolutely.

Yay for YOung Indy. And thanks for putting the link up here--I voted again, but there's no way I'd remember otherwise.

Oh, and when I was about 20, I made Chicken Kiev for my then boyfriend and it was stellar, and I thought, pretty easy. It was only later that I found out it was supposed to be nearly impossible to get right :-)

However, I can't make a decent burger to save my life.

lots of cream and strawberries for not ultra fresh meringue. Yum... Though I prefer pavlova.

Yay for Indy :-)
