    When life gives you lemons... Make lemon merengue pie! My new flatmate suggested I should do something with the big box of lemons a customer gave me, so I asked her what she liked made with lemons, and she said Lemon Merengue Pie, with real lemon curd! Immediately I looked for a recipe to attempt this delight I have never made before, none of its components actually! Decided to go with a recipe from Jamie Oliver and proceeded to do it in reverse order of the proper protocol as I normally do and also like normal, I got lucky and the curd set well and the pastry came out good and the Italian merengue was just about perfect! Very much helped by the eggs from another customer that gives me lots of them from her very well cared for chickens!! May all these Northern Europeans coming here in search of "The Good Life" find me and give me their produce!! The whole thing has been a journey of discovery for me and to finish it off had to use a kitchen lighter to try to burn the tips of the merengue, so really not the prettiest of results... We haven't tried it yet, will be super excited when we do, because this things has been 2 days in the making!! More pictures tomorrow of the unveiling and eating!! Sorry @Pedro for hijacking your thread, specially when you are not here and are not going to eat any of this!!

    Visited York a few times, in fact my first outing when had been in England only for 1 month was to go see Thirsk and see James Herriot home, then stayed in York. Great place and was also flooded, funny enough. So much love for all the notices and the records and the pioneer engineering coming out of "British land"! Really miss all the funny streets and sayings, the laughter and fun that goes with all of it. Special place indeed! Thanks for sharing and reminding me of how much I love it!!
