Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Or the Lamington, if we're talking about Desserts (sweets).

Apparently it was invented in Queensland, & named after Lord Lamington, who was the Governor at the time.

Pav's apparently an Aussie invention, and of course there's Peach Melba too.

Named after Nellie Melba. My Hubby's side of the family has a story about a relative who briefly dated her before she was famous. The Melbourne Exhibition Building was under construction at the time, and the two of them scratched their initials on the building in an obscure hard to spot place, but then she went on tour and met someone else... So much for that brush with fame. 😉 Mind you, the initials should still be there to puzzle future restorers and historians.

Yes Pavlova, now you've reminded me @Smc

That Peach Melba looks delicious...
