Wish you were close enough to invite round to tea!

Perhps next time you visit your rels in /sydney we might be able to do a meet

Sounds good Abby, and I must make sure I have that recipe with me as that DIL is a Vegan. I want to get over before the year is out just got to start checking when the fares are cheapest - crazy cheaper to go to Bali than to travel to Sydney.  Be good to meet up with you.

I tried this recipe yesterday but substituted the cocoa with dark cooking chocolate (what I had in the Pantry) so I also reduced the sugar.

It was
