Hi all, we have had many stressy months but at last things are getting better, my hubby has recently had brain surgery and I'm glad to say he is recovering well, it's early days and he will be off work for a while yet but the relief is amazing nothing seems that important anymore except life itself.
I made him a bit of a celebration tea to welcome him home would you like a slice of cake?
or a choc chip cookie.
I thought I woud push the boat out and have a go at making meringues, after a lot of whisking and bad language I and ended up with a mountain of fluff, I used unbleached castor sugar which gave them a lovely toffee taste the problem is I'm still not sure what I did :) if anyone would like to try I will get my thinking cap on for you.
I still have a couple of weeks left before I go back to school, I have spent far too much time on the garden, it was good to go out there and forget things for a while, maybe its time for a bit of housework :( or maybe a couple of days out to celebrate a bit more.
Pop over let me know what you have been doing.
Have a good week wherever you are and
Give someone a smile you never know they just might need it.

It must have been a very stressful time, so glad things are looking up.
Glad to have you back Cate. Good news about hubby. The meringue looks fab but I think the sponge does it for me - with fresh cream of course. Mmmmm!
Cate, glad everything is ok!
That cake looks so delish! I have wanted to try making meringues but am a bit intimidated. Yours look pretty yummy!
Hope you have a lovely rest of your vacation time!
Hi Cate, the cake and biccies sure do look delicious! Good to hear that hubby is feeling better.
Enjoy the rest of your holidays...maybe see you soonish?? Only 9 days to go! T x
Sending you a big smile! Glad your hubs is on the mend xx
Hi Cate,
Cake looks fab, and glad to hear your hubby is on the mend. As for your merringues I think they get that toffee taste if they are a bit over done. I did one recently and the edges were very toffee like!
