During our preparations for her party, we discovered that Karyl’s favorite dessert was Lemon Meringue Pie—a fact that surprised her children. They were left wondering, “What else don’t we know about her?”
Because my sister-in-law Debbie can’t even say “meringue” without grimacing, I had the pleasure of making this particular dessert (one of the almost seven we served). Fortunately, Debbie brought me a pre-made crust, because despite a thousand attempts, I simply cannot make pie crust from scratch. (I’m sorry, Gramma…)
One of the many benefits of cooking at Karyl’s is the endless supply of pans. At one point, we had approximately 46 9×13 inch pans in use, and I was still able to locate one more. I wasn’t able to find pie weights, though, so Karyl, when you find an open, yet full, bag of dry beans in your pantry, you’ll know why!

Not sure what you use a pie weight for, Rebecca, but this was a gorgeous lemon meringue pie . . . .

And it was the first dessert gone! Who knew the world was so in love with lemon meringue pie?

Dixie used to make the best lemon meringue pie! I guess that is why I love it so much – it was always such a treat down at the farm! I have never made a good one myself – gave up after a few failures. So, gee, I guess I will have to depend on my daughters and daughters-in-law to prepare them for me!

Give or take.
