Mine's located all around the US, not within 2000 miles of us in any direction. It's so different from what I'm used to - we go to someone's house, hang out amd then go home. With my family, when you go visit, you're there for a week. So whenever we go I always remind him to bring books, etc - we won't just be entertained for a few hours and then be able to leave!

I purchased mine from olde english crackers online - and then I learned you could get them at target or costco. It's the thought that counts right?

I was disappointed. And I refer to Pavlova as "dessert pizza" which Mark's mom thinks is slightly funny and pretty annoying. It may be why she stopped serving it, which is a shame - it's delicious. I'm going to need to make some.
