Very good taste. After I chilled it the pie got a little watery not sure why that was. The filling was very tart and lemony. -
This was great. I fixed this pie around 2pm yesterday and at 830pm it was gone. Thank you!

Very, good, tart and creamy too. Not sure why, it wasn't as pretty as your typical lemon meringe pie. All in all, it was everything Joan said; tart, creamy and very tasty. I used a flour crust, maybe the cracker crust would be better. At any rate, DH and I overdosed. What's new? Thanks for sharing. Maryanne in AZ

I am now a full time homemaker, having retired from a career in Market Resarch for over 20 years-a profession I entered after raising 4 children. Why this field after a degree in Music Education? Who knows? It just appealed to me and the hours were right at first when my children were still at home. I eventually went full-time, but last year decided to retire and join my husband who is a retired engineer. We have had a computer for over six years now and I love getting new recipes off the internet. I print them out and have a three ring binder full of them. Some of them prove to be duds, but most are keepers.
