Well, typical, isn't it. I spend the whole day on meringue creations, and you crave coffee cake and jelly cookies. I just can't hit it right, can I. Laurie is, of course, the queen of the jelly cookies. If you are unable to make yourself some because of your delicate condition, I'm sure Auntie Laurie will make you a whole batch and ship it down. She loves sharing her special goodies so much!!!

There was a recipe in the paper for lemon meringues. You make little bite sized meringues that are hollowed out. Then you put a dollop of lemon curd and top it with a bit of whipped cream. There was another recipe adding semi sweet choc chips and crushed pecans to the meringue. That sounded good so I made that also. The whipped cream on the lemon meringue reminded me of the ritz cracker pie (also called mock apple I think). I made up a recipe of that and did it into cookie form. I'm now ready to provide desserts for whatever cause may come up.

Wendy, Becky was telling me something about Aunt Katharine having had a stroke. Do you have any details or updates?

Love to one and all. C
