Last Christmas ......
My Hubby and I go to on of our friends house and celebrate Christmas Eve. We exchange gifts "White Elephant" which means, you can steal what your friends have for their gift and so on... lol, so funny, I never know this kind of game, funny....
Last Christmas........
I made some meringue, too bad I did not take a picture of them. It seems one of my friend's girlfriend like it, she even asked for the recipes. I just write it over from the book that I bought for $5.99 at Borders (on Bargain Sale). Speaking of Borders, it was my first time going there when I bought the book. When I saw the bargain sections, I really fly away hahaha.... so many cooking books there. And at that moment I decided I've got to comeback there again :D
So for you who like meringue, I just want to share this recipes (my first time to share recipes LoL)
