My youngest is nine! For the birthday cake, he decided to get us to make a key lime meringue pie…
The meringue was Italian style, where the cooked sugar is poured into the beating whites. It’s exquisite and I’m almost embarrassed that I’d never done it before in my 30yrs as a chef 👩‍🍳 LoL
But waaaayyy too sweet. The birthday boy couldn’t even finish it and Omg I made myself sick off eating this three days in a row.
Worth it though. My biggest early memories come from when I was around his age. The world is a very different place now but wow are we ever gonna have a blast learning how to survive it!!
