Last night, I got the chance to do dinner with Lindsay and his family. It makes ALL the sense in the world now how ToyBoy became the man he is. He's got an incredible family, one of the sweetest Moms I've ever known, a hilarious Dad and when the chronology of teenage Lindsay lays out, it's VERY visible where everything went...right.
Ain't this cute? Lindsay and Mel kissing in his Mom's dining room.
All my deepest thanks to my friend Lindsay for the invite to his boyhood home and many compliments again to the AWESOME traditional Australian dinner piled high with corned beef and gravy, tons of veggies, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and XXXX Beer, which is a hell of a lot better than Fosters.
That monstrosity of a dinner was followed closely by the most incredible dessert I've ever had...PAVLOVA (and lots of chocolates not shown here).
Pavlova is a meringue cake topped with this delicious layer of sweet, light cream and fruit with a bottom crust made entirely of sugar and more sugar. It's light, sweet and heavenly. I can't imagine why we don't have this in the states, but I'm going to export it to Panama as soon as possible.
Thanks again to my mate Lindsay, his lady Mel and his family. If y'all get a chance to come down under, consider yourself lucky if you get invited home to meet Lindsay’s peeps.
