Today I am thankful for people who can make meringue.
I attempted my first chocolate pie with meringue tonight, and while the pie looked and tasted fine, the meringue was more like a glaze on top of the pie. Again, it tasted fine, but it just didn't look as nice as my grandmother's chocolate pie. I'll probably keep trying, but until then I'll have a greater appreciation when I see a nicely peaked meringue.
We made one not long ago (chocolate pie). Mark tried making the meringue like his grandfather used to make...he whipped like crazy. We finally got out the mixer and it still wasn't the same. It is not an easy task!
