And I shall call thee...

The kitchen wrecker!

Kind of a lumpy looking meringue...considering how much making this trashed the kitchen, it better taste freaking awesome!

I WILL say the components tasted really good - the lemon curd, and the raw meringue. I guess my biggest fear, based on prior experience, is that the consistency will suck. I've had a great looking lemon meringue turn to soup in the crust before (not a good thing!).

I'll send you my recipe for lemon meringue pie. It has always turned out great for me over many years and many pies. I LOVE good lemon meringue pie. I just don't make it unless I have company 'cause I'd eat the whole thing myself with absolutely no guilt whatsoever!!!

Turns out it tasted pretty good, annnnd didn't completely ooze out once cut into - so it firmed up pretty well. Not as tart as I like a lemon meringue pie, but I'm guessing that's partly due to it being *Meyer* lemon meringue pie.

I totally get ya on not making it unless you have others to unload some on. Brett doesn't eat the stuff, so he's not help. THANKFULLY I can take anything in to work and people will scarf it up.

I'm guessing your version of the pie wrecks the kitchen as much as this one did!?
