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.

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

Aww!! Penny pictures!! Thank you so much for sharing!! I think I'd eat those pavlovas even if they don't look good -- I'm sure they tasted yummy, particularly with those strawberries.
Oh, now I remember what I was going to ask, have you been enjoying the pool? I was wondering if you're planning to post any more photos of the house to the other site or whether it's totally done (I didn't go check whether you'd pulled it down or what).
Oh forget the pavlova, that's an adorable baby! ADORABLE! I can't believe you had to make it 3 times! (the pavlova, not the baby lol)
I guess you would know best about your pavlova but from where I'm sitting, they look pretty good. :)
And your little one is cute, delightful smile.
You are amazing.... I'm just saying.... You're a wife, and mother, with young children, and new DUCKS for crying out loud, and still cook and bake and post...
Good on ya.....
It really doesn't matter what happened in the challenge those baby photos are so cute - well done in both senses of the word LOL LOL. Cheers from Audax in Sydney Australia.
Thanks everyone!
Lillian: We are enjoying the pool, in fact we're planning on taking Penny in for her first dip soon. I meant to post finished house pictures but one thing lead to another and I never seem to get a chance when there aren't Legos all over or some mess in the kitchen.
She is so cute Maggie! Who cares about pavlovas when you have this darling girl to look at!?
penny is just so cute :)
