meringues
I just read the recipe for chocolate meringues, and dashed to the kitchen and made them. They're in the oven now.
After they were already underway, I had this flashback to 35-40 years ago. My dad had diabetes. Lemon meringue pie was his favorite dessert, so on his birthday we always made lemon meringue pie instead of birthday cake. Probably some time I had lemon meringue pie with sugar in it, but the only way I remember it is for my dad's birthday, made with liquid saccharin (before Splenda, before Nutrisweet, before any powdered sugar substitute). Man, that stuff was nasty. I sure hope meringue with Splenda is way better than meringue with liquid saccharin. I haven't been able to eat lemon meringue pie since then!
