quietannwe are home from San Diego now. Easy flight, nothing to report there.
BTW, if at any future susboid gathering, the host(s) want a lemon meringue pie, let me know. It's a specialty of mine; I make it once a year for my dad's birthday; his mom used to make it for him, and then my mom did it for a while, but handed it over to me when I was 8 or 9 years old. (My mother's growing health conscious diet made *making* such a pie beyond the pale, but not eating it....)
It's a good pie. It's on *no one's* diet plan, being high in sugar, carbs, gluten, possibly-undercooked eggs in the meringue, and butter (in the pie crust). I can concoct the basic part sof the pie at home, but host(s) must have a good oven for baking the meringue once it is assembled, and some way of keeping party guests out of the general vicinity while the assembly and baking happen.
Of course, around here it won't be made with lemons freshly picked from the family home's garden...
