5 large egg whites
250g caster sugar
380ml double cream
5 tbsp lemon curd
300g blackberries
2 tbsp pistachios, toasted & roughly chopped
InstructionsPreheat the oven to 180 C/160 C fan. Line two large baking trays with baking parchment.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Adding the sugar 1 tbsp at a time, continuing to whisk until you have a stiff, glossy meringue.
Divide into three, placing two big dollops nto one baking sheet and one on the other. Spread out until you have three circles approx 20cm in diameter.
Place the trays in the oven and immediately reduce the heat to 140 C/120 C fan. Bake for one hour then turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool completely.
When ready to serve, whip the cream until soft peaks form and fold in the lemon curd. Remove the meringues from the baking parchment and layer with whipped cream, blackberries and a sprinkle of pistachios. Serve in thick slices.
This meringue cake is best eaten on the day of making, but leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two.Fagotto Amaretto chocalae and piscatoes

A swirl of amaretto
Revolves in my coffee -
Like a galaxy -
Shimmering and slow.
Dawn is utterly quiet;
Moon beams - thin and long -
Cleave to the flooring
Each protracted moment.

A hurricane of opals
plays along the surface of the sea;
Such a fickle display of pageantry
as a war wages beneath the waves;
A hurricane of opals
controls the tumultuous tide;
Shades of violet bruise the sea
with the toil of the mermaid below
caught in calamity;
Light battles evil;
For a moment good
is devoured by darkness,
then briefly there is balance;
Tale of fortitude the blueprint
of a forever fantasy;
A hurricane of opals,
rose tinge deep within the abyss;
Flowers that flicker and flash
within the eye of a storm so dangerous;
Turbulent to dead calm,
washed amaretto with sunshine
playing along the surface;
A hurricane of opals.

Cointreau broke Gluino
Thanatos shall be reconciled
White wine jumped Saxion
Hymenaios was cold
Campari hunted Higgs
Thetis shall be cut down
Anisette haunted Neutrino
Pan was enjoyed
Amaretto hated Boson
Astraea shall be calm
Cinnamon Schnapps camped Plekton
Apollo was seduced
Port peeled Proton
Uranus is comfortable
Brandy learned Plasmons
Oceanids shall be impetuous

and in the shadows sets the amaretto sun-
the solitude has ascended and splashes of eventide fade
into the ivory glazed moonlight, but I am forsaken and
left alone as the forest wood remembers my sorrow.
a willow weeps for me-
she lends me a branch to wipe the salt running down my cheeks,
for she is my salvation tonight,
my guard against all that has left me in endless darkness.
-it has arrived-
desolation’s farewell dance. (I cannot breathe)
it resounds in a melody only my shattered soul can comprehend.
an aria of regret runs down my nape and I am drowning in
spiritual apathy…
once again.
the night’s sullen blanket envelopes me, but the warmth turns to
ice and I bathe in the bitterness of the saturnine sky-
forever lost in lonely memories.
for you were my cadence...
...now I am dying in rhythmic silence.

Apricot pits can be
Added to a base of
Almonds, and you will have
An Italian liqueur,
A little bitter, but
Also so alluring
As sweet Tiramisu!

The season of hope, the season of giving,
The time to reflect on the life you've been living.
Children innocent, gleeful, jolly,
Masquerading in magical midnight folly.
Token gifts exchanged with teary eyes,
Sentimentality to make up for expressionless lies.
The streets lined bright with twinkling lights,
Amaretto, giddy to dispell never-ending nights.
The anticipation is welcomed into their chests,
The disillusioned only waiting to end their direst.
Simply a day if you've no one to share with,
Only a waiting game, until it is over with.
Just one day yet it's been another year,
Rejection was always your biggest fear.
Melancholia swelling in your heart, loneliness growing more,
Then Christmas is over and it's all back to how it was before.

My god, I love coffee!
I love it black
with sugar or cream
and sometimes
chocolate or caramel.
With cinnamon and nutmeg;
coconut oil or vanilla bean.
With amaretto or bourbon,
which enhance my dreams.
The flavor of coffee
Is a wonderful treat;
At times, I’d prefer to drink coffee,
rather than eat.
Addicted to caffeine,
addicted to flavor;
each moment with coffee,
I really savor.

Lovely is this day break, with a new dawns light hitting her face and my window sill.
Opious traits can be discerned, as i kiss her lips, carrying the sweetest taste of amaretto.
Very slowly i arise back into thought and nontheless delv
Excitedly into the depth of emotion only her love can achieve.
Lay your head down my rising angel,
You shouldnt revel, even if so beautifully.
Sleep tight my angel,
Sleep tight my lovely...

Amaretto morning
just like the earth to be grey today
Time for the old dog-eared book
all the while begging the rain to stay
I couldn't buy a moment like this
even in Lion's Head Antique store
I couldn't wish for a better excuse
to sink into myself, or to love you more
You grab the pillows and blanket
I'll fill the room with Red Star music
We will tell stories 'till we're laughing out loud
Ions of rain and the pressure diffuses
We are no longer dealing with death
We are no longer frazzled and wild
Just give us the rain on a Tuesday morning
and we become silly, as mother and child...

Oak and maple trees turn to wines
As summer's final sumac twines
To autumn's cool amaretto scent
Among the season's soft lament.
The lattices of amber rose
Turn skeletal with fall's repose.
The final phase of new moon's chill
Brushes autumn upon the hill,
While fall's ambrosia soothes our fears
Of winter's cool crystal chandeliers.
