I dub these the pavlovas not meant to be. One batch I over baked into rock hard pucks. One batch I over mixed into flattened, rubbery pancakes. And my final attempt today was the above lumpy, sad blobs. With my final batch I did obtain the chewy/crispy contrast of a true pavlova with good chocolate flavor which went well with the fresh Michigan strawberries. But without being artfully piped they resemble the dog bombs in the yard more than something delicious. Oh well...I do enjoy whipping and playing with eggs and want to thank Dawn Nyman from Doable and Delicious for this month's challenge.

She was so happy after getting her hand stuck in her sleeve and having a new texture to chew on.
