The last time had some was a couple of weeks ago. It was too sweet and I left half on a plate. I'm ever hopeful that a good one will come my way. Perhaps it'll happen soon.

I had a friend in high school who was a nerd like myself, so we
ended up spending a lot of time at each other's house. During the
week, my mother was happy just to get a meal on the table, but his
mom really enjoyed cooking.

She asked me to stay for dinner one time and produced a heavenly
lemon meringue pie for dessert. That is the pie that I measure
all lemon meringue pies by, to this day.
