The girls came for tea a few days ago. And my dear friend Ms Whipping It Up brought the most delicious lemon meringue pie - honestly, I have never eaten one so good. Ms Whipping It Up is a woman of many talents and accomplishments, but the most important one to me (and my stomach) is that she is a pastry chef extraordinaire. Properly trained and all that. Now when will she bake her next pie? I will have to be there. Yummy yum yum.

Have a great weekend, dear friends. Eat something sweet. C'mon - you
know it's good for you!

I love lemon meringue pie - and Stuart loves it even more (but I'm a bad Mum and have never made it for him!). I had a very large piece of sponge this afternoon, so I think I have had my ration for the weekend!!
I haven't eaten Koeksisters since I was in high school and that was long time ago ! I'll be visiting SA soon so I may just have one or two or three !
I love the way she has made the meringues look like a mountain range. I would like to know what is in koeksisters. I imagine marzipan I don't know why! Have a good weekend!
Mmmmmm! Lemon meringue. Probably made with REAL lemons...although the kind made with lemon Jell-o pudding is truly delicious and one of my favorites.
You are so blessed to have such a friend!
if it's as good as it looks, it must be out of this world! mmm! mmm! mmm!
and great link too!
Oh Anairam, what a lovely surprise... and to find that some of your friends have popped in for some LMP at WIU recently ;).
Thanks again for the fabulous afternoon - so good to see you again... and your recent works in the real (including your scones of course... recipe asseblief)!
As for our next tea... how about a Saint Honore... keep you posted.
