Pavlova

"While escorting a tour in New Zealand we had the privilege of spending an evening at Shirley Hill's home in Christchurch where she served this wonderful dessert. The recipe she shared with me was not as precise as noted below . . . she was just one of those cooks who knew when it was right! Note that the unsweetened whipped cream will be absorbed into the meringue so need to sweeten."

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside . . . Chardonnay in one hand . . .chocolate in the other; the body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!"
