"Elegant perfectly describes this crisp-on-the outside, marshmallow-soft-on-the-inside puff, crowned luxuriously with cream, strawberries and a drizzle of bittersweet chocolate."
1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). 2. Beat together egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar to soft peaks in a large bowl. Beat in sugar, about three tablespoons at a time, until stiff and glossy peaks form. Sift cocoa and cornstarch over egg whites, and gently fold in. Gently fold in vinegar, vanilla, and melted chocolate. 3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and spread the meringue into an eight inch circle. Bake in the center of the oven for 1 1/2 hours until the outside is crispy and the center is soft. Using a metal spatula, loosen the meringue from the parchment paper, and remove to cool on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely, about one hour. 4. Whip cream with the sugar, and spread over the meringue. Arrange strawberries decoratively over the top, and drizzle with chocolate.

Ok here's another Strawberry reference....by the Brothers Johnson .... Strawberry Letter #23 ... a good song to listen to if you were driving around town in a lowrider (yes, I did the whole lowrider scene for a while too, carried a switchblade and all....had to protect myself from all those mexican chicks who thought I was trying to steal their mexican men when actually the guy I was hanging out with was white, just happened to be a lowrider with hydraulics and all on the car...it was the car thing again, remember?....lol) with the windows down on a hot summer day in 1977.... ohh the good old days wearing ben davis pants, tight little tops and wearing orange eye shadow
Stained window, yellow candy screen See speakers of kite - with velvet roses diggin' freedom flight
A present from you - Strawberry letter 22 The music plays, I sit in for a few
Doubt anyone remembers the lyrics, but may remember the tune....

Peaches 2 Strawberries 1 Kiwifruit 0 (and likely to stay that way)

They can do some very artistic things with sniffer dogs now so I would be careful where you put it during the flight!
And your always welcome, aslong as there is a Pav involved .... Barbie....

You're right Stoney... all the licking does seem a bit 'Pandographic'
