I guess we are sticking with the British theme this week. Have you ever had an Eton Mess? The name is believed to date back to 1893 where it was served at Eton college. It’s really the perfect quick summer dessert as it doesn’t really require turning the oven. I heated some frozen berries on the stove for a few minutes, but it was not enough to make the apartment hot. Another shortcut that I took, buying store bought meringues. So now were talking about a 15 minute dessert, maybe its a but too easy! I call that dangerous!
