Haha, awesome – I can say I never played ping-pong on a good quality table… what a bargain, and a fine looking table to boot!

I love the look of your chocolate slices Charlie – great looking post-dinner snack to serve. They remind me of my chocolate slices from a couple weeks ago, although they’re completely different… only the name is the same!

Lovely story. I love the chocolate slices, they remind me of something I used to make as a child but with powdered milk.

That is a great story, and I don’t think I would have ever thought to use a real table for ping pong…even during the college years.

You are such a great storyteller Charlie, and with such a wealth of family memories to pull from! Those publishers are idiots, just sayin’. I can’t believe that anyone would have even thought to use that beautiful table for ping pong. So glad it came to rest where it would be appreciated. Your chocolate slices look so yummy…would love to have one with my coffee right now.

What a beautiful tale – if only the table could talk!! To think it crossed the Tasman Sea to get to Australia and still going strong.

I have a very similar recipe to this and I love it. It can be thrown together very quickly, but looks and tastes quite special – especially if tarted up a little with some fancy liqueur.
Lordy, I wish I could have seen the look on the faces of Vic & his wife.
