i feel so accomplished today!
cards all written,
gifts packed,
and even manged to do some baking,
with the rest of the day to rest!

haha:)
yay i shall share the recipe for baking the meringues!
you need:
2 egg whites
100g of caster sugar
50g of chocolate chips
1. melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler, or by placing them in a heatproof container over bubbling hot water
2. whisk your egg whites until they get stiff. (this step took me a very long time, so be patient)
3. add the sugar in by heaped teaspoons, whilst whisking it all.
4. drizzle in the melted chocolate, stirring once or twice to give it a marblelized effect.
5. pop it into the oven, preheated at 110 celcius, for 40 minutes.
VOILA!
swirly meringues all waiting to be eaten!
p.s. they make good christmas presents when placed in a pretty jar!
