Floating islands

Floating islands, no not a reference to the previous day's muse in any way, and not to Magritte's wonderful painting or any sort of supernatural fairy tale activity...or the real natural deal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_islands

...but rather to a dessert that my mother and her mother loved, and made
for me when I was a wee girl, floating islands, of meringue-ish fame... a lovely old-fashioned thing...
