The canonical signature block is four lines long, although that's
a guideline rather than a rule.

Shel, YOU should read the first few characters of my comment...I said, "+1"
about your comment in support of Anne.
It is nearly impossible for me to quote because my post ends up in the wrong
place. FYI, I suggested that Dave Smith and Gary put me in their kill file, not
you...but do as you wish.

LOL! I'm going to send you a baby ferret for Christmas so you can add
it to your cool sig file. :-D

I'm pretty sure I remember the name Anne P Mitchell (Esquire?) as a
regular poster here about 15 years ago. Or something like that.

I'm very skeptical about the meringue recipe, tho'. Might have to try
it, just to see if it's a practical joke. :-)

While she does not have pic in "mugshots", she does have a signature
dish. Even I have not managed to get recipe into sig dishes.

I don't like meringue anything (air food), but I do have a can of
chickpeas and plan to try this food odity. Right after I finish my
sweet potato pie.

Funny how different people have different tastes. I know a few people
who hate meringue. I like them in various forms, but I can understand
that people who have only had commercial meringues may have a problem
with them. We had a lot of pies with meringue topping when I was a kid
and I always liked it. Okay... it is airy and sweet, but it was a nice
balance to the tart lemon filling. My mother used to make meringue
shells and they were her stand by dessert for a crowd. She would serve
them with whipped cream or ice cream and a variety of sauces; chocolate,
thawed raspberries or strawberries. They were delicious. My wife
learned how to do them. However, I have had commercially made meringue
shells, even from good bakeries, and I did not like them at all.

You rest nothing. Honestly, do you really pay attention to sig lines?
I remember reading posts from Anne well before I ever heard of you, Dave.

She may have expanded it, Dave, but when Anne used to post regularly her
sig line *always* indicated she was an attorney. Just admit you don't
remember her. She's not a newbie by any means.

Picking a nit: if your *newsreader* settings are configured to your
liking the sign line will not show up in your reply. I honestly don't
know if Google Groups screws that up (as it does with line-wrapping).
Me, if I still see a signature line I generally delete it when I reply
to a post.

I have a faint memory of her here. She has not been around here for many
years.

LOL, I'm sure I would love it, I had no idea they were so cute, but I have
enough to do chasing my old dog around, she's very active and needs a lot of
attention. :-)

I hope you're feeling so much better, that was some nasty stuff you had from
the sound of it.

Thanks, Cheri. I am still a bit up and down and it seems reluctant to
release me fully, but I am cooking so that is an improvement)

Yes, tastes do vary. I dislike meringue, and I dislike lemon pie
and lemon desserts in general. Even lemon zest in something like
cheesecake or poppyseed cake is intrusive, and I don't use it.

I love lemon for savories, though. So much so that my husband is
kind of burned out on it.

For me, meringue is about as appealing as cake frosting made with
vegetable shortening. It's just sweet, with no other counterbalancing
flavors. Whipped cream has butterfat goodness going for it.

Yes, I know. That's why she mentioned seeing some familiar names and
asking about a few others.
