I think it was unofficially banned cookie as they were trying to enforce a state atheism policy and many people were persecuted when found practicing their religious beliefs.

I remember DH's parents telling us about it and how religion sort of went underground when they were younger.

I wonder how many churches there are in Adelaide?

All I can find out is that back in 2008 there were almost 750 Gert.

Marscapone mousse with a citrus sauce and the obligatory piped whipped cream

More great photos. The dish with the secret recipe looks great but I'm not sure i would try it after hearing what the ingredients might be. Guess some things are best left a secret.

Must say Gert, I am a bit disappointed there are no DH in the buff photos today. Not warm enough eh? ;) ;D
