O, Canada!
Canada Day this year coincided with the beginning of the local strawberry season. Every year when I taste these sweet ruby jewels I wonder why I ever bother with those pale cardboard strawberries from California. The season is so short here, so we'll be enjoying a lot of strawberries over the next few weeks.
David decided to celebrate our great country and how lucky we are to be Canadian by attempting his first Pavlova. He thought the red and white colour scheme was perfect for the day and that it would really showcase our delicious berries. It was totally yummy and pretty as a picture, but you won't be getting the recipe. Meringue is a fickle mistress, especially on a hot and humid day, and this one was not the texture you'd expect. But tasty? Hoo yeah.
