I do love meringues. Uh oh, reading this thread is causing some chocolate cravings to rise up....actually, I should be okay for now. Sometimes after dinner I really need a hit of chocolate and find that making some homemade cocoa isn't a bad option. It's a nice warm mug of chocolatey goodness, which is warming and filling. I just use about a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and a pinch of sugar (I don't like sweet) and stir that with boiling water and it often does the trick.
I can't believe the furniture people are messing with you! Don't they know that you have biceps that should not be trifled with?
Thanks for the Cathe recommendations--I'm so buying a few new ones. I love my IMAX 3 but I'm doing it so much I'll get sick of it, and I don't want that. By the way, if you want to try something new--I have Amy Bento's Advanced Step Challenge II and once I learned the moves (tough for a klutz like me) I LOVE it. It's really fun.
