If I had an oven
I would bake a pavlova. And it would be covered in passionfruit and strawberries.
Homesick? Me? Don’t know what you’re talking about.

Eric Luper Says:
Pavlovas? pavlovas? are you kidding me? black and white cookies are by FAR the best! You can keep your pavlova. I’m a black and white cookie guy all the way.
although, we do not need to do a poll about this one. I’d hate to embarrass you.
which gives me an idea for a great and original children’s book:
if you give a jerboa a black and white cookie.
it’ll sell millions!

ooh .. pavlova, with passionfruits and everything. That’s a good idea. You should run this “Justine suggests a recipe” section more often. Now I know what I’m making tomorrow night.

I blogged about pavlova today too! How odd is that?

Niki: Last time I had pav was in May; last time I was back home.
Jonathan: Oh, hush your mouth. I have seen quokkas in the flesh. They’re fabulous.
Liset: Is your google broken?
Diana: You know what pav is? That’s very odd!

MooseGuy Says:
pavlova should always have peppermint crisp chocolate on top, or a similar item. ALWAYS. fruit is for the weak!

Diana Says:
Justine, of course I do! I spent a Xmas in NZ, where all anyone would talk about was the great “is it aussie or is it kiwi” Pavlova debate. I ate SO MUCH pavlova… it’s the most delicious holiday dessert of all time!

goggled-shamed…
-_-
wiki wiki wikipedia!
apparently pavlova is named after a ballerina,
thats kinda cool,
and it looks yummy,
kinda like a flan thingy.
but the passionfruit looks gross…

all over this la-a-and (oooh-woo-ooh-ooh).

emily Says:
yay wikipedia! pavlovas look really yummy. i want one.
and i’ve tried passion fruit once. it’s pretty awesome.
but i have to say, straight-from-the-oven hot chocalate chip cookies beat pavlovas and black-and-white cookies.
