Walnut Peach Meringue Torte...
Walnut Peach Meringue Torte is a scrumptious dessert!
Not only that, it is super easy to create, looks fabulous, and is a great whip it up dessert when you only have a few hours to create something 'special' for unexpected guests, or a pot luck dinner party.
Prepare your trays. Line two with baking paper and draw a 23cm circle on each.
Use a plate as a guide.
Measure 150 grams of toasted walnuts.
If you don't like walnuts - use macadamias, pecans, or almonds.
Chop roughly.
Beat four egg whites until thick. Add 1 cup caster sugar and whip till thick and glossy.
Add the chopped nuts and whip until combined.
Place the mixture evenly between the two trays inside the circles.
Spread out to the edge of the marked circle.
Bake for 1 hour in a slow oven.
100-120 Celcius depending on the heat of your oven.
Remove and cool.
Purée 1 cup of tinned peaches in a blender.
Beat 500ml cream with 1 tablespoon icing sugar until thick.
Add the peach purée and combine.
Sandwich the two meringue circles together with the cream.
Put more peach cream on top,
Decorate with more tinned peaches.
Sprinkle with half a cup of finely chopped walnuts....
Chill for an hour and serve cut in wedges.

Funky Upcycled Jersey Cushion...
An old jersey upcycle...
into cushion cover!
Don't you love those gorgeous Aran jerseys?
I found this one at the Goodwill shop.
Looking a bit sad - as it was a little grubby, and very out of shape, it's jersey days long past.
But once washed and clean again, you can see its gorgeousness, so lovingly hand-knitted by someone.
but now it's time for a new life as a cushion cover.
I unstitched the arms at the seam.
these pieces will be upcycled into boot toppers or leg warmers.
Then I turned the jersey inside out and placed the cushion inner inside.
Then I turned the jersey inside out and placed the cushion inner inside.
Next job was to pin down each side and across the top (where the jersey neck is).
Remove the inner.
Overlock stitch by machine, pinned seams.
Then trim.
Overlock the cut edge.
You will now have a double overlocked seam.
If you don't own an overlocker, zigzag stitch will suffice.
Stitch across bottom seam leaving an opening.
Turn pillow in the right way.
Fold the cushion inner in half and pop through the hole.
Wiggle to fit into the casing.
Handstitch the hole shut.
Handstitch the hole shut.
Gorgeous!
Soft, fluffy with a little bit of funky texture.
And only half an hour to make!
