Oh my gosh... I'm so darn hungry! It doesn't help when I'm reading threads about bread.

Wow, Jared, that looks great!

Today is DH's birthday. I made him a lemon meringue pie, as that's his favorite. I won't post a picture, as it's far from photogenic. The meringue got a little too done, and try as I may, I can't get stiff peaks in egg whites with my hand mixer. So the meringue is flat too. But he won't care, as the taste is what matters to him.

I will say that the lemon curd (is that the right term for it?) did taste delicious!

Why can't I get stiff peaks? Do I give up too soon, or does my hand mixer (which is all I have) not beat fast enough? It's probably 20-25 years old, now that I think about it.

A bit of oil may have made the egg whites not get stiff enough

Oh yes indeed! I made garlic bread a few nights ago. Though I'm craving cheese biscuits right now, lol.
