Gardens

Mr. E. cleared out a small area of dirt next to our apartment and planted our first vegetable garden. The plants smell wonderful and we are so excited to reap the rewards of his hard work in a few weeks... The first photo is of peppers and brussel sprouts, the second photo is eggplant and the third photo is of our killer tomatoes!

Lemon Meringue Pie

A few months ago we were all obsessed with March Madness, including me and Mr. E. We both filled out a bracket and whoever lost had to do something for the loser... If I won I wanted a hand and foot massage from Mr. E and if he won, he wanted me to bake him a lemon meringue pie. For those of you who don't already know this, I am not a big fan of lemons and limes other than as a spritz or slice in a beverage (refreshing!). I think that the worst desserts out there are ones than involve these two fruits i.e. Lemon Meringue Pie and Key Lime Pie-yuck! I know that I am definitely in the minority here but what this means is that Mr. E NEVER gets to eat these desserts because I will not make them, nor will I share them if he orders one at a restaurant. Therefore this was a pretty big bet for the two of us... well, unfortunately I choose Memphis to win it all so I was eliminated pretty early on in the tournament and so today's post is on Lemon Meringue Pie...my first and only time making these sweet treat.

PS. I would be happy to make this for my love for his birthday but he loves fresh fruit pies homemade by his wonderful mother each year...Oh, and if you really want the recipe, let me know.
