I'm not much for cooking. It doesn't excite me. I cook only for nourishment, because it's needed. Now baking, that's something I can get into. That excites me.
At Thanksgiving I make a fabulous crumble top apple pie. And at Christmas I make snickerdoodles. Then there is always pumpkin pie, those are made during both holidays. During the other times of the year I like to make cookies and cakes and ice cream! However, I have not made meringue, and consequently, never a lemon meringue pie.
Until now.
My in-laws were visiting and I had lemons on the tree and I felt the need to make something delicious while they were here. So I decided to try my hand at the infamous lemon meringue pie. After a failed attempt at baking an empty pie crust (which is necessary for this kind of pie, but something I've never done because my previous pies have always been baked at the same time as the filling), I had a decision to make. I could scrap the whole idea of a pie altogether OR buck up and try again.
I bucked up. For I didn't want a baking failure on my record.
And wah-lah, made a super-yummy lemon meringue pie. Which received high praise for it's appearance as well as taste.
I love baking!

Baking is fun! Your pie looks so good! I have my moments of good cooking (meals and what not), but nothing overly consistent. I usually know when something is good if the hubby says he really liked it. :) Anyway, nice job!
Well done! I want to lick the screen to get a taste of that delicious looking thing!
