Double Meringue Lemon Meringue Pie


Danielle came over yesterday, and after some knitting and Call the Midwife, we decided to bake!

I smooshed two lemon pie recipes together and got a Double Meringue Lemon Meringue Pie. 

How is it double? Well, the crust is meringue, and so is the topping. The innards are just regular old lemon meringue pie innards. 

It tastes pretty good! The bottom meringue has a bit of an eggy taste to it, and I think it might've been too thick. The moisture from the lemon curd might've had something to do with it, but I'm not sure.

I love love LOVE lemon, so I'll work on this recipe and hopefully have a perfect one to share soon! 

Ooh! Before I forget, this recipe is gluten-free! 

Works-in-Progress

I have a few larger projects on my needles right now, so I don't really have any FOs to show off yet.

Here are some WIPs instead:

Leaf Lace Baby Blanket


I found some cotton variegated yarn and decided on another lace blanket. This pattern is nice, but the yarn leaves much to be desired. I'll post more on the yarn when I post about the FO. 

Inside-Out Baby Blanket 


I'm stash-busting and hoping to come up with some FOs for a craft show. This is turning out pretty nicely! It's also pretty mindless. 

I'm still working on my mom's vest. I had hoped to be finished by now, but the number of rows the pattern claims to be enough for the back isn't enough, so I need her to try it on.

I'm getting forgetful! I wrote this post over the weekend but forgot to upload photos and post it! The Inside-Out blanket is about 70% completed at this point if I'm aiming for a 30" square blanket, but I think I'll have enough yarn to make it a bit bigger.
