Oh what a lovely sweet read this has been, dear @lizelle! and not just for the sake of that yummy-looking meringue! <3 It sounds like you and your friend had a wonderful time - it's just the best when time flies away from you when hanging out with loved ones, isn't it? I love this!
P.S. That cheese thing looks fantastic. Also, isn't scrumptious one of the nicest words? I love it.
