Re: (...)
Has anyone else made them from the Weeknight Menus magazine? I made them last weekend at my sisters. I had lots of fresh berries and cream left from her birthday party. It was dead easy, thank goodness, because we were dead on our feet from her birthday party the night before.
But more importantly, it was fun. It's one of those desserts that people don't expect, and they laughed when I brought it in. I think this is one that kids would just love. OK, adults too. If anyone wants the recipe, let me know.
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

Not all of us have received the Weeknight Menus yet Sweetie, how about sharing the recipe?
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.
