Welcome to my Kitchen

Lemon pie of any sort disappears fast at buffet or potluck dinners, and lemon meringue tops the list for most lemon flavor lovers. Wet weather like we have lately is the worst for making the meringue topping, as well as things like divinity and other candies that rely on the vigorous beating of egg white to create volume by incorporating air and drying the mixture some with the aeration. Rainy weather means wet air, thus more moisture in the mixture causing the meringue to weep as it cools.

Then, of course, there is the lemon filling and getting it to set up nicely. Cook enough but don’t over...
