Of course, my friends always laugh at me when I make whipped cream and meringue by hand using whatever is, um, handy. I think their laughter is based, in part, on the fact that I have one of those fancy Kitchenaide mixers. I just prefer to do it by hand, for some bizarre reason. Ouch, La BellaDonna!

Believe me, it was unintentional, and due solely to the death of my mixer, and a deadline for making the pie (it was a gift, and was going traveling with us). Just the activity for someone with carpal tunnel! <b>Not.</b> Yes, <b>Twistie,</b> go pat that nice mixer!!l It is possible that I am the last person on the East Coast to have made a lemon meringue pie, using a fork to make the meringue (at least outside the auspices of re-enactment).
