This was a hit at Thanksgiving dinner! For some reason my egg whites didn' whip up like they probably should have..it could have been operator error, since it was 12:30 am!!!! But it worked out great, beings I had a very long road trip to take with the pie and it probably wouldn't have made it otherwise. Very tasty. Thanks so much for a great recipe!

It's a fabulous foodie city, with new restaurants constantly opening. Travel is very important to me, and we do a lot of that. My photography "habit" and travel go together nicely, as does a growing passion for birding and its associated travel.
