We went to my parent's place for a barbeque just after New Years......
There were mystery sausages - in that some were beef and some were not, and no-one knew which was which. THis did not concern me, as I had my own vegie sausage :-)
Delicious smashed potatoes - with rosemary- these potatoes had such delicious crispy bits, as well as soft fluffy centres!
A Salad with just about anything you could think of - feta, tomato, capsicum, onion, mushrooms, avocado, YUM!!
Some marinated barbeque chicken
Crusty bread - with real butter :-)
And for dessert? Well this was my department, so I made individual pavlovas with fruit salad. Basically, I piped out meringue into the appropriate shapes (and they actually were not too wobbly looking!!) and baked them. I made them the day before, so I wanted a crunchy meringue, rather than a chewy meringue which may have gone soggy with the wait in the fridge.... I assembled the pavlovas just before we ate them - I put a little Vanilla Fruche in the bottom and topped each one with a pile of fresh fruit salad - I chopped up all the fruit quite small, so that everyone got a little bit of everything in their little pavlova.

That meringue looks absolutely divine! Do you eat this dessert chilled?
yes - chilled for sure - traditionally it would have whipped cream under the fruit also!
Yum, I love pavlovas. It's one real "dessert" dessert that I never feel guilty about eating-- it's basically fruit, and air.
