Mile High



For my birthday my sister, who taught home EC classes last year, got me a kitchen aid up right mixer - in red - from the school as they were getting rid of them. I was beyond excited. It is something I have always wanted...and in red! What a treat!
Until very recently we have never owned a mixer of any kind. This has meant hand beating, which has been fine except for working to make whipped cream and egg whites. It made sense that the two things we tried first were shortbread with strawberries and whipped cream and lemon meringue pie.
I had to share the lemon meringue- look at that topping! I am totally gloating! It not only looked impressive it tasted divine!
