this photo hardly does the glorious pavlova justice but it was unfortunately all i caught before it disappeared. despite my multiple protestations, my friends insisted on doing a birthday thing and surprise me they did! plus points for playing it cool guys :) didn't have a clue that anything was afoot, despite T & J being all suspicious about going to town for "men missions, like buying porn and cigars" a few days before. little did i know that they were in fact on a mission to buy me an electric whisk for all my baking needs. and even more clever, was how they passed the whisk to G to test run. she's the true domestic goddess, for despite the limitations of uni accommodation, she managed to conjure up the best pavlova i've ever had. and trust me, i've had more than my fair share. incredibly moved by the effort they went to, and by their sheer goodness. it's assignment season and despite having her plate full with multiple deadlines, G was up at 6am whipping that cream. the thought and time that went into it was humbling. they were even so sweet as to rope the manfriend in and have him march me to the common room on the pretext of saying goodbye to them before he left. aww :)
and because it was my birthday, i ate 1/3 that monster tray all by myself. much to the horror of the rest.
