while remains unemplyable

despite a MA in English

and graduating Magna Cum Laude

younger sibling -

who wants to be a chef -

has garnered a job at a bakery

 

younger sibling brought home a pie saturday from work

it was a lemon meringue pie

usually - due to the meringue - these are rather sizable pies

lots of fluffy meringue

and lemon curd on a nice crust

 

opened the box

and there was what looked like a very VERY large lemon tart

with meringue on top

but not exactly fluffy

it had SOME fluff

but it was mostly very sticky

like it was marshmallow flush

 

the pie was very good

due to the crust and lemon curd

but the meringue? that was weird and sticky and unusually sweet

 

sibling announced

"younger sibling baked it younger sibling's self! what y'all think?"

 

it is times like this glad to have diabetes and was excused from having to ask

"WTF is with the meringue?"

 

turns out

younger sibling did decide to add a touch of marshmallow fluff to the meringue

 

 

this pie will not be joining the others in the bakery's repertoire
