Before getting on the plane to leave California, I picked lots Meyer lemons and stuffed them into my suitcase...I would have picked more, but Amalia was impatient and didn't understand what all the fuss was about-Amalia, we don't have lemon trees in West Virginia!
Last night, I made a lemon meringue pie. It's been a while since I made a meringue and I had forgotten how important it is not to overbeat the meringue. Oh well, it still looks pretty good.
Before starting on the pie, I ordered fourteen pounds of frozen green chiles from Hatch Chili Express located in Hatch, New Mexico. Amazingly enough, they have just arrived at my door and I am quite excited to cook up some green chili. In a few weeks, my clan will be competing in the Green Chili Shoot Out at the Capitol Farmer's Market, so this weekend will be spent fine tuning our winning recipe.

What a beautiful pie! Wish your blog had smellovision, I bet your kitchen smells lemony awesome.
What a pie! I'm sure it didn't last long. Meyer lemons are the best. They make the whole house smell like you're in the right place.
Good luck with your chili recipe.
I, too, found myself salivating over that pie. Lemon meringue is my favorite. But I've never had the nerve to try cooking one.
Trying to reach Renee to continue where we left off in December. Call, me, please. I am in the book. I just came back from Virginia with a load of my nephew's imported Chinese ceramics. Thought you might like to see them. Finally have a big bread making bowl.

Hi Renee! What a lovely pie...I completely understand packing a suitcase full of luscious lemons. I hope things are greening up there in West Virginia. Happy spring to you!
