Don't know what its supposed to taste like, but I liked what I baked... it was yummy! Just the right amount of tartness and sweetness, and the meringue was crispy at the top but had a marshmallow-y texture in between. The lemon filling was a little runny though, had the consitency of honey, but thats prolly because I couldn't wait for it to cool down and set before cutting it.
Doreen loved it! She had two huge slices, and everyone else wanted the recipe and there were requests for more and more and more!

Sheesh, its misdirected energy.
If only I was as passionate about my studies as I am about baking.
On another note, been out too much. Friday night especially was a killer. My friend Dave came down from London to visit, so we went out and I showed him around Plymouth. And we drank. Too much. Went barhopping to so many bars that I can't even remember the names of the places we went to. I had:
2 pineapple malibus
1 shot absinthe
2 smifoff ice
1 vodka blue
1 gin and tonic
Funny thing was I didn't even feel any effect of the alcohol. Yes, this coming from a girl who gets all red and flushy after a pint of beer. Tsk. We went to this really really really sucky club called Recess or was it Reflux, I can't remember, and it was to terrible, they were playing unbelievably bad 80's music. Don't wanna think what kind of impression he got of Plymouth. Tsk. He was probably so bored with Plymouth that he ciao-ed the next day after we explored Dartmoor together.
So tired. Been out too much. Been around too many people too much. I need some time out on my own, by myself.
I need to do so many other things as well... most importantly, I need to get my priorities right. I can't have it all, I know that. But then again I'm not willing to make the sacrifices that need to be made in order to achieve what I want. Its a neverending tug of war between wants and needs, between the urgent and the important, between the work and play.
Equilibrium. Thats what I need.
