millionaire's shortbread, vanilla bean ice-cream, chocolate sauce, honeycomb...

...and reflections in my spoon

I was not going to share this photo of my Tuesday-night-in-the-pub pud but then I realised that today, January 12th, is the day that my dad was born in 1919. He loved chocolate so it seems to be appropriate to 'raise a spoon' to him.
mm mm, yum

Nice memory, Hazel.

Lovely memory and a delicious desert. I am looking at this with one open and one eye closed at the moment though because we have just got home from a meal out with friends. We had such a delicious meal that I didn't have room for desert and even now can't really think too much about food.

That's a lovely way to remember someone you love. On reflection food is quite a powerful way to remember someone who is no longer here.

Usually eaten as a cake/biscuit: regular shortbread in the bottom layer, the middle layer is a tin of fussells condensed milk boiled until it changes colour (might be some butter in it too, can't remember) and a layer of chocolate on top. I dare not think how many calories but rather delicious!!

Stop that right now Miss Hazel.

Very naughty :-) I think it would be a bit too sweet for me, though I love ice cream. Like the story

I love shortbread so much that my one dessert a week is usually shortbread cookies and coffee on Saturday Morning.
