Lemon Meringue Pie

there is an abundance of lemons in the house ... and what can we do with lemons other than lemonades? well ... lemon meringue pie, it is!

I first tasted the pie when we went visiting my papa's friends in Sydney, masa tu umur 12 tawun. masa tu kitaorg dihidangkan makanan sedap-sedap ... and last sekali aunty tu bawak kua this pie for dessert. mase tu mmg takjub gile la dgn rupa and rasa pie tu ... sedap gile ... and rasa mesti susah gile kalau nak buat such a dish.

tapi tak sangka lak pwincess berjaya buat this dish. susah tak susah, cuma leceh sket. anyhow, gumbiraaaaaa yaaa aku gumbiraaaa wahahaha ... !!
