The glass hen catches the light beautifully, and I love the bowls in the background!<BR/><BR/>Years ago I made a great flourless choc cake, and this reminds me of that one (except for the wattleseed--for which I am still searching!).

Thank you for your comment on my blog, echoing my thoughts about wasting all that red wine... I'm going to try re-using at least some of it next time - maybe cooked into the pasta sauce?
