Default FIGHTING humidity

Well. We have tornado warnings until noon tomorrow. Meanwhile, there are 5
cookie jars to fill for grandsons for Christmas. Did that ... but the
meringue/coconut/pecan cookies were just miserably sticky. When all the
other cookies were done, I put the sticky ones on a sheet and slipped it in
the cooling but still warm/dry oven. TaDAH! They seem to be dry and
non-sticky but I'll leave them in the oven til morning. I put a dishtowel
wrapped around the oven handle to remind me that there was something inside.
I tried a recipe for lemon/almond cookies. Dry, boring. Won't do that
one again - but when you're feeding wolves, it only hurts my pride. Next -
I really would like to bake chocolate and also lemon meringue pies. Tricky
with the humidity at nearly 80%. I see recipes for cooking meringue before
topping a pie. Anybody every tried that? Polly
