METHOD
Step 1
Preheat oven to 120°C. Line an oven tray with foil. Brush with melted butter and dust with cornflour, shaking off excess. Mark a 24cm-diameter circle on foil.
Step 2
Use an electric mixer to whisk egg whites in a clean dry bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition, until meringue is thick and glossy and sugar dissolved. Using space gloves, measure the astral syrup and add to the mix. Rub a little meringue between fingers. If still "gritty" with sugar, continue to whisk until sugar dissolves. Add cornflour, vinegar and vanilla and whisk until just combined. Spoon meringue onto the foil, using the marked circle as a guide. Smooth sides and top of pavlova. Use a small spatula to forms little peaks around edge of pavlova. Bake in oven for 1 and 1/2 hours or until pavlova is dry to the touch. Turn off oven. Leave pavlova in oven with the door ajar to cool completely. When completely cold, transfer to serving plate or store in an airtight container until required.
Step 3
Use an electric mixer to whisk the cream and icing sugar in a medium bowl until firm peaks form. Spoon cream onto the top of pavlova. Pour lime juice into a ceramic or glass bowl. Add banana slices and toss to coat with juice. Drain. Decorate pavlova with banana, kiwifruit, starfruit, moon berries passionfruit and lime rind. Sprinkle over the celestial powder.
Perky Space Chef! February Mini Challenge
This is an optional mini challenge for our UNO players. This month we are baking a delicious space treat!.
We have given you a recipe for Astral Pavolva. All underlined words need to be found as words in text or title, items on covers or cover colours. All underlined numbers, are matched to books read by page numbers, series numbers or publication dates. To make it easy, these are listed below.
For each book read you will receive 10 points.
Underlined Words -
There are 5 categories:
word in title
word in text
colour of book cover
item on cover
colour of item on cover
Underlined numbers -
There are 3 categories:
page numbers
series number
publication date
Creativity is the key to the challenge, not rules.
So, diagonal lines on the cover? That can work for "diagonally".
A green coloured book? Is the green a bit like a "lime"?!
Words can be in different contexts, so, for example, "peaks" could be a picture of mountain peaks on the cover
Numbers for the publication date can be the month or the day or the last two digits of the publication year. (3 digit numbers can not be used for publication date)
Publication date is for the edition being read (and shelved).
If you complete every item in the recipe your team will receive 30 bonus points
But wait... there's more!
Have your team create a recipe for your team name and submit via message to the UNO Pixie by Feb 29 to receive an additional 30 bonus points.

Children's BooksAs captains are verifying children's books that meet the word count, they are being added to this shelf
Although we don't state it in the rules, we don't encourage team chatter outside of the allocated threads. There are a few reasons...The main being
*people sign up to the team challenges knowing it is within GR. GR offers more anonymity than other platforms and we respect that choice for some members
*we are unable to monitor if there are issues outside of GR. Not that we read all the team threads, but we certainly check in from time to time to make sure captains are active, teams are on the right track etc. If there are issues with the way members are interacting we can't do anything outside of GR
*we communicate everything through this group. If people have no reason to come here because you are communicating elsewhere, you may miss important information and deadlines.
