I love lemon meringue pie. My love for that pie is so bad, when I was in college, I ate half a pie myself and couldn't look at LMP again for about a year. Talk about over indulging!
Good thing I'm over it and can now enjoy it in moderation.
Your pictures are fantastic. If ever anyone achieved LMP perfection, you did, Jeena. Great job!
In a word: perfection!
