so last week i made a banana creme pie from scratch, and topped it with my very first meringue. it was labor intensive, and it was beautiful…for about 5 minutes. until joe comes over and sticks his big finger in it and takes out a chunk (see exhibit A below). i had the previously beautiful pie sitting on the counter next to the sink cooling. then while i was doing the dishes…a catastrophe!! the cutting board fell into a bowl which fell into the glass carafe which fell into the sink and crashed and broke. oops.
joe, hearing the commotion, came out to the kitchen and proceeded to pick up the carafe with the broken glass and shake it over the pie!!!! dropping invisible glass shards into my meringue!!! i said STOP the shaking!!!
so then we had to shave off the top layer of my meringue so we wouldn't ingest glass shards (see exhibit B below)
why.

shades of days gone by! I remember MY first meringue pie. I loved the "walk" through your neighborhood! I felt as though I was right there! Also luv the mirror! I enjoyed my visit!
LOL, looks like a cat got a hold of that pie with its claws. Kelly you did pretty good for your first lemon meringue pie. Meringue can be tricky to make. I burnt my first lemon meringue pie; baked the meringue too long.
Sorry, I don't know where I got lemon meringue from. I meant banana cream.
