If you bake a pie but don’t post a pic, did it really happen?
The Lemon Meringue Pie I Didn’t Tweet About
Everything I share online signals something about my personal brand
My daughter, Lola, requested a lemon meringue pie for her birthday. I’d never made a lemon meringue pie before — in fact, I’d never eaten a lemon meringue pie before. I was a coconut meringue pie kid.
I figured that being fairly experienced with making meringue and pastry, I could make the lemon custard happen.
So yesterday, early afternoon, I laid out my mixing bowls, ingredients, and recipe and got to work.
I worked slowly and deliberately.
First the crust. Then, the custard. Then, the meringue. Until everything was in its place in the pie tin. I popped the pie into the oven and waited for the crust of the meringue to caramelize.
After a veggie taco bar feast, I sliced into the pie. Was it set? Was it soggy? Did it taste good?
Well, I am happy to report that my first lemon meringue pie set beautifully, avoided being soggy, and tasted divine.
I snapped a few pictures and sent them to my mom.
