MIKE'S MAGIC
This is my own recipe that I have done many times and everyone that has tried it seems to love the many flavors that it delivers. Pork is thinly sliced and stir-fried with bell peppers, celery, and Brussels sprouts. As you are using all fresh herbs there is no need to season with salt or pepper as this will take from the natural flavors.

This dessert is divine. It's so pretty served in clear martini-type glasses. If you like, you can layer the cream and strawberry mixture as shown in the photo. You can also add blackberries for extra flavor and color.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat egg whites and salt in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until they just hold soft peaks. Gradually mix in 1 cup sugar, then continue to beat until meringue holds stiff, glossy peaks. Spoon meringue into 4 equal mounds on the prepared baking sheet. Spread each into 3 1/2-inch rounds, smoothing the tops.
- Bake in the middle of the preheated oven until crisp and firm, about 1 1/2 hours. Turn the oven off and leave meringues in until completely cooled, about 1 hour.

- Drain macerated strawberries in a sieve set over a bowl, reserving syrup.
- Beat cream in a chilled bowl until it just holds stiff peaks. Beat reserved syrup into the cream.
