Here are the potatoes, right before I put them to boiling :) I purposely left some skin on :D Mom said it would be more 'rustic' that way! LOL and I like the skins anyhow :)
Freshly mashed potatoes :) Yummy! They were nice and warm at this point :( not so at the picnic unfortunately.
And now for the pride of my heart! LOL the Lemon Meringue pie! LOTS of pics of this one!
Freshly molded pie crusts :) Soft and oily!
Here's a closeup of the pie crust before it's cooked :)
Here are the baked pie crusts, and the pie filling, not yet boiled :)
Here's the filling almost finished :) for a while I was scared that my little bro had ruined it! lol but it came out beautiful!
An early pic of beating the egg whites :)
Looking fluffy a bit?
OOOO! Look! a little mound in the middle? YES!
OOOH! the peaks are standing now!!!
Here is the pie with the filling poured in, and the meringue spread on top :)
Here is the meringue formed into peaks! :D
This is me making the peaks! :D
About to go in!
Fresh out of the oven! Look at that beautiful gold colouring! :D
Here they both are! :D the one on the right is a little 'too golden' but it tasted good! :D
Love,
Ruth
How neat! I didn't even notice, were they cold at the picnic? I thought they tasted very tasty :).

Oh thanks, Bascha! :) I'm glad to hear you liked it! I used the "Taste of Home" Lemon meringue pie receipt. It doesn't give you the crust directions, so you'll have to use one you already have. :) By the way, my mom and I still want your rosemary cookie receipt and your tea, too! :)
