For my Facebook friends--Saturday's Lemon Meringue Pie. I made two. My 18- year old nephew eschewed my thick pork chops (breaded and baked), garlic scalloped potatoes (with real cream!), and salad of baby field greens with cranberries, walnuts, apples and feta with white balsamic vinaigrette dressing in favor of Easy Mac. Oh yes he did.
He did manage to have a piece of pie.
Good grief, I'm struggling to make instant oatmeal over here. FOR THE (ALMOST) LAST TIME. ADOPT ME.

My absolute, favouritist kind of pie.
You're making me hungry!

It's a lemony night. We made a lemon pudding cake.

As soon as I'm off this diet, I'm booking a flight to SD. How much lead time do you need to duplicate that meal for me?

Oh I love lemon meringue pie. Not that mine would look like that - things I make either taste good or look good, I never manage both.
I bet you didn't save me any though, did you? Not that I could eat the pastry - I'd just have to scoop out the inwards in a wholely impolite fashion.
Bad and cheeky nephew.

Yummy. This post is making my breakfast of champions, Diet Pepsi, look a little lame this morning.

That silly boy. Someone needs to teach him never to pass up such an amazing meal.

The entire meal sounds PERFECT. Love the salad...yummo.
I have not tried to make meringue yet...looks perfect though.

Your nephew sounds HRH. I should purchase stock in Easy Mac - and dinosaur chicken.
Love lemon meringue - so light!

Geez, you would be VERY disappointed if you ever came to my house for dinner!
Posted by: jenrantsraves | January 28, 2009 at 09:36 AM
I only have one thing to say... YUM!
Posted by: imom | January 28, 2009 at 09:38 AM
I'm thinking that next time you should invite me and let your nephew fend for himself.

And you didn't throttle the kid??? I've had that happen at my house too.
Posted by: Joanne | January 28, 2009 at 09:51 AM
Got leftovers? I'm willing to give up the pie (much as I adore it) for the rest of the menu!
(Silly me -- of course you don't have leftovers. You have a teenage boy!)

No offense but your nephew sounds like a three year-old not an eighteen year-old.

You wouldn't have to call me twice to the table. Sounds delicious!

Such a philistine does not deserve such a fabulous pie. Next time give him a Twinkie and ship me the pie. And the dinner.

Posted by: Janet | January 28, 2009 at 08:43 PM
Get back! Get back! I'm aiming to get a grip on the "shred" and control my eating. This is not helping! THIS IS NOT HELPING!!

Posted by: magpie | January 28, 2009 at 11:05 PM
