Make some Lemon Merengue pies

No castor sugar

my son went to two local shops to get some
I had to go farther afield

Lemon merenge made if Merenge didn’t peek to well -it tasted nice and lemony.

Recently I have been getting fresh farm eggs and notice how much better they are for baking – especially Lemon Merengue pies.

My sister although she says she can’t remember used to say that – when I was feeling useless – that I could make good lemon merengue pies.

This was 30 years ago when I lived at the farm.

I have always had in my head – well if I can’t do anything else I know I can make Lemon Merengue pies.

She has done a job share in our office with we for about 3 years now and I said this to her the other day and she said she can’t remember saying it.

I suppose it shows how a small compliment can sometimes carry people through.

Changed my mind – made blackberry crumble instead.
