After the last post, I was not planning to take a small break. It just happened.
Shyama went to Paris from her school for few days and then it was a long weekend here , so hubby was home too.
And then S was back from Paris and next day she was sick with ear and throat infection.
So while she was in Paris having fun and partying with her friends, every few hours we got SMS from her saying she is in that museum or having a boat trip in Seine etc........... she even took few pics of food :-) she saw this pastry shop selling cupcake and she clicked few pictures for me.
She told me her friends bought cupcakes from this shop, but she didn't buy and I asked why not, her reply they were really small and why should she buy when her mom makes so much cupcakes ........
For the first time after S was born we went for movie alone. Can you imagine in 17 years hubby and I have not gone for movie just two of us.
When S was small we went to watch all the cartoons in the cinema and then when she got a bit older she also love watching movies so when ever we went for a movie ,we took her
Friday evening we thought we will go for a movie, while walking to the theater I suddenly remembered it was 17 years ago we went for a movie just hubby and I alone.
We saw Robbin Hood , i think the movie is OK , but I liked much more the Robin Hood with Kevin Costner.
Now to the recipe part
Eton Mess was Originally made with Strawberries but these days I think they just use seasonal fruits. And as I had a box of Rasepberries I thought why not use them.
It is such a easy dessert to make, my daughter just loves it especially with the addition of Meringue.
200 gm Raspberries
2 tsp powder sugar ( more if you like, don't forget the meringue is also sweet))
1cup whipping cream
1 tbsp vanilla essence
1 packet individual meringue ( I used shop bought ones)
Whip the cream in a large bowl until thick but still soft together with the sugar and the vanilla essence.. Roughly crumble in few of the meringues , you will need chunks for texture as well as a little fine dust.
Fold in the raspberries and the cream mixture . Keep few for decorations.
Serve in individual bowls sprinkling few more crushed meringues.

Good idea of using rasepberries,love it,looks sinful,pretty click!
Mmmmm, raspberries and meringue, that's a delicious dessert!!!
what a cute answer of your daughter for the cup cakes!!lovely thing !!
it's true when you say about going to the cinema (the two of you) after so many yeras ... now, that you said, I realize the same for me too; ever since our kids came into our lives, we go to movies only with them, hehe !!
Mmm....that looks simple and delicious. I can do that for a last minute dessert. Thanks for sharing.
Lovely Lovely Lovely!!!!!!!!
Never had Eton Mess before...but it looks just like the one I would love to have in summer!
So it is time to enjoy the twosome... :)
Eton mess sounds delicious with the meringue...!
Simply love it!
Thats so beautiful finla..wish i could have it..
tempting recipe
looks lovely..
Love the name, thought at first you messed it up! Hahaha!!!
Yeah! Kids grow too fast but it's nice to have your husband back though. There are so many Robinhood movies, I thought it's one too many to watch the same movie, not going to watch that unless it comes on TV.
Glad S enjoyed the trip Tushar loved the Aeronautical Museum too but he didn't charge his phone, so he had to borrow his friend's to call us to pick him up at 1.20am! KIDS!!!
Sophie thankyou.
Vinolia yeah i think kids take all your time when they are smaller.
Lissie one time is finished she is bak home ;)
Asha after seeing the movie i think i would have prefered to wait till it came out in DVD. Same here too the last day we got a message saying her ph is dead, she forgot to load it( she had the loader with her kids) and she too had to ring us with her friends phone when she almost reached home.
This look awesome! I'm sure it tastes so too!!
Enjoyed reading your post! Congratulations on just the two of you watching the movie! I think the Spouse and I have had just two holidays alone, other times others are with us - but it's okay, nothing to regret! :)
First up I like the name, I thought it was a kitchen experiment gone bad. One thing with raspberries they look lovely anyway they are cooked.
looks yummy... love it!
hope your daughter is feeling better now...
I simply love raspberries :) This looks yummy :)
Happy Cook, you indeed whip up a surprise everytime you cook :) that too delicious cute surprises :) That raspberry dessert is indeed wonderful and I hope I can make it to entertain guests someday :)
That is so cute. I loved how you guys went to the movie alone after 17 years :)
Me & the hubby go maybe once in two years when the parents are visiting or something.
Have never heard of Eton Mess, looks good. How did S enjoy her trip ?
Delicious classic Brit dessert. I like it!

I never tasted it but sounds very interesting and tempting...
Fabulous, would love to try this!

Though kids take over our lives, we enjoy them and the situation, right? In fact I keep missing my kids when we go with out them any where which happens very rarely. :)
loved the post HC. The mess looks scrumptious..
Homemade eton mess is so summery, easy to make and delicious. It's a great way to enjoy the sweet berries we have right now.

What a unique name..Raspberrie dessert looks delicious. Hope S enjoyed her trip. Whenever I'm at my parents place I do take this opportunity to go out with Him for a movie. Leaving my son with his grandparents who keep him engaged.

After 17 yrs just the two of you went for a movie! I wonder if kids realise what all parents do for them. :-)
That's a nice lookimg 'mess' Happy. :-)
I have the same story to share about watching the movies. My elder one is 8.5 and all these years we have been (and still) watching only cartoon movies :D.Hopefully we will do it like you after 10 more years..lol..
That's a pretty and elegant dessert
Looks like we are all in the smae boat when we have kids :-)
so simple and so delicious,..
after reading your post that I have to wait for 16 years to watch a movie with Hubby alone. as my baby is only 1 year old. you must have enjoyed the experience.
the dessert looks divine...love the presentation too.
Sayanthani don't panic :-)
My favourite Robin Hood movie is "Men in tights" I think that is the title. Seems that you've been on a second "honey moon" being alone with hubby:) I know the feeling as we have three children at home all the time.
Your Eton mess looks delicious.
Looks awesome.I am drooling!! Nice pictures
Looks divine.. and wish I am there to grab a bowl.. yummy dessert...
The first time I saw this was on Nigella's show and I fell in love with it! Yours look equally good! Yum-o!
Another perfect one for summer!
