Thursday night I walked in to the kitchen. There on the bench were these meringues.


Cooking as most of you know is one of Sue's delights, passion and possibly a form of relaxation for her.
Mine is eating - didn't Meryl Streep say something like that when she played Julia Childs in Julie and Julia?

The beginning of a divine desert.
Sue delicately adds home made blood orange curd
Then a great dollop of whipped cream from a good old Aussie cow.
Then on went the fancy pants strawberry.
Then on went the icing sugar - I eat better at home than most restaurants.
Well that's my opinion.
I hear something happening in the kitchen and there's some sliced mushrooms on the bench - I wonder what she's cooking up now! A pie I'm told with last night's leftovers of beef cheek, some brussells (I love Brussell Sprouts) with mash. Good old comfort food on a Melbourne winter's Friday night. AND of course it's time to open the Champagne................

Havagoodweekend!

  1. Looks spectacular! And I'm sure it goes great with champers. Of course, nearly everything does. ;)

    1. Walt - Champers is a Friday night kind of thing in the Sims household - I think that its a tradition that our kids will and do take with them as our legacy.

  2. I want to marry your wife and have her babies!

    My husband cooks only one meal per week. Mind you it consists of three courses and feeds a large number of people. But he cannot do exotica eg pavs.

    1. Sue seemed a little conerned with your first comment but understands the overall compliment................Or maybe its me that's a little concerned.
      Maybe your husband can cook for us. When its my turn, I'm afraid I revert to the wallet and take Sue out for dinner.

    1. Nadege - I married the right woman for many reasons and it all began from a blind date just over 30 years ago.
