Pie and boredom
When I get bored, I bake. This is the result:
A pineapple-buttermilk pie with a meringue top. Loosely based on this recipe.
A follow-up, once a taste test could be performed. First, a slice:
On the surface, no problems. While it might look like the meringue did not adhere, it did. So kudos there. The crust, on the other hand, is not what I was looking for. The taste is fine, but I simply didn’t blind bake it long enough, so it got a bit damp. Not soggy, but not what it should have been. The filling’s texture is a tiny bit looser than I would like, but I think this is likely due to weeping from the pineapple that makes it simply loosen up over time.
The taste? Yowza! The taste is very good. Total flashback pie. And, if I do say so myself, a darn near perfect meringue for my tastes. Structurally sound, but just barely so. Nothing that fights against the fork, which to me is a frustrating battle.

I’m weeping more than the pineapple because I won’t get the opportunity to try such deliciousness!
