Steve, on your panhaggerty, you slice the potatoes and carrots but don't do shaved slices - they're thick enough to be a little firm? Sounds interesting.

I made two lemon meringue pies yesterday and my daughter stopped by to pick up hers. We had intended to make them the evening before but took too long over dinner. I don't use shortening for crusts any more, I use butter.

It was quite cool this morning, almost down to a frost but with a couple of degrees to spare. It's time for soups, and I have some frozen turkey pieces to start out with.
