Pavlova is nothing but a pouffed up mound of sugar-laden sugarthingy, which is made even sweeter by the fruits which might be soaked in syrup.Originally posted by the Bear:*thinks about recipe topic and is suddenly seized by insane craving for pavlova*
When I first tried Pavlova here because you've been talking endlessly about it, I thought, "What the...!! Can eat one meh?" It's sooooo incredibly and unbelievably sweet, the sugar merchants must be laughing all the way to the bank when approached by bakers of pavlova!

3 months certainly ... but three years ? ....Originally posted by viciouskitty74:I run away to your place and you feed me for 3 years want or not?

seriously, a change of scene may be good .... we all need a little time away ....
oh, and don't come in the winter, trust me ... -
Oooh...I went shopping at target just now. My sister dropped me off there while she and little boy went to Kohls to try to find some long sleeve shirts & pants for school.
I was leisurely going thru the aisle and even came up with some cheap nice clothes which I can wear.
Namely 1 brown velvety cardigan at USD4.99 & then surprise surprise another brown long sleeve cotton tee at USD4.98!
then they have some clearance sale going on... Some of the cosmetics was downright cheap! I brought like 14 peices of cosmetics from Revlon, Maybelline & L'oreal and the total dont even come up to USD$40/-
this is shopping therapy at its best.

Haiz... gotta go liao!
Think tonight, going to eat Beef and Kai Lan Hor Fun! -
of course...
it's actually lots of sugar in beaten eggwhite with a dollop of vinegar in it to keep the inside soft while the outside becomes hard and crisp..
another fave of mine is lemon meringue which i cannot find here
probably the humidity ruins it quickly.. -
Oh, the sales in US and Australia can be so darn incredible!Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Oooh...I went shopping at target just now. My sister dropped me off there while she and little boy went to Kohls to try to find some long sleeve shirts & pants for school.

The other day, I bought two polo tees, one for A$10, the other for A$3.50!!
And yesterday, I bought my very first hat for just A$10! It's a nice black and navy-blue hat meant for fishermen but oh well, I was desperate to get a hat before we went apple-picking. -
huh? no hat until then?
what happen to slip, slop, slap? -
Lemon meringue is a bit more bearable, because the tangy lemon is a good balance to offset the diabetic-coma-inducing sweetness.Originally posted by the Bear:of course...

I like to get pastries and take a bit at a time, keeping the rest in the fridge, and eat it over the next few days. Which reminds me, my bag of potato chips probably gotta throw liao... been opened for like ... 1.5 months liao!! -
Hee hee... I think we have a lot in common interms of being hospitable to our friends. I love having friends over and to cook a storm if time permits.Originally posted by Rhonda:I know... I learnt from you and Richard re. bringing own meat to BBQ yesterday.
However, if I'm ever filthy rich, my friends will be invited, and they don't have to bring anything cause there'll be a buffet so big everyone can even ta-bao stuff home! Well, that's part of my filthy rich dream anyways!
I remember working for a VIP multi-millionaire family just two years ago and wandering in their huge compound, I couldn't help thinking, "If I lived here, can hold a party here or there and everyone will be happy!"
Sigh...
Oh wah! Steamboat session sounds fun! Hopefully will give advance notice so I can get some seafood from the Richmond Market!
Don't worry, your friends will still be happy even if you can't provide them "free" meal. It's the time you spend with them that matters!
If you want, we can always do it this Saturday night (after your grandprix parade) so that we can celebrate the last day of CNY. Please let me know so that I can prepare for it too. Need to prepare the soup base and meat. -
there is no such thing as "too sweet" in desserts

Slip on the sunnies and slippers, slop on the sunscreen, and slap on the hat?Originally posted by the Bear:huh? no hat until then?
what happen to slip, slop, slap?
BTW, really looking forward to the end of summer. Really sick and tired of having to spend all that time slathering on the moisturisers and sunscreen before stepping out of the house and then having to reapply the sunscreen when out!
-
being i guy, i didn't use the sunscreen bit.. at least not for most days
shades are more to prevent headaches.. and so is the hat
sun's way too bright
remember days of playing tennis all day in the summer heat when it was about 40 in the shade... must have drunk about 10 litres of water + isotonics a day -
I have the recipe for lemom meringue if you want. Will put it up when I get home. It's actually quite a lot of work involved. Have helped my mother-in-law to make one just not long ago.Originally posted by the Bear:of course...

The pav (the recipe I put up) is not that bad, quite easy really. All you need is patient and a good mixer as the mixture gets very stiff in the end. Also, we learned that you can't even have a tinsy winsy bit of yolk in the egg white as it won't work.Originally posted by the Bear:nah.. thing is that i've never learnt to bake properly.. and with pavs and meringue, you really need skill -
can disown them?
sign the thing with your dad's name lah.. learn to use the face of quiet menace, silent intimidation and that slightly psychotic smile to put The Fear into people..
and tell them to bugger off... -
