Very, good, tart and creamy too. Not sure why, it wasn't as pretty as your typical lemon meringe pie. All in all, it was everything Joan said; tart, creamy and very tasty. I used a flour crust, maybe the cracker crust would be better. At any rate, DH and I overdosed. What's new? Thanks for sharing. Maryanne in AZ

I am now a full time homemaker, having retired from a career in Market Resarch for over 20 years-a profession I entered after raising 4 children. Why this field after a degree in Music Education? Who knows? It just appealed to me and the hours were right at first when my children were still at home. I eventually went full-time, but last year decided to retire and join my husband who is a retired engineer. We have had a computer for over six years now and I love getting new recipes off the internet. I print them out and have a three ring binder full of them. Some of them prove to be duds, but most are keepers.
