Lemon Mirengue
The Plotnik family has long been split over whether The Great Ducknik's lemon mirengue pie, sour cream lemon pie, apple pie, pecan pie or Kentucky cherry pie is best. For most of The Great Plotnik's fortunate years with Ducknik, he has placed pecan first. The rest of the family, however, rates Kentucky cherry Number One, followed by all the others tied for second, and since we're not really all that sure why don't you just make them all?
The two Lemon Mirengues on Christmas Eve were indeed spectacular, as was the rest of the meal: chicken roasted in mojo criollo, salmon pan broiled in the same mojo, Persian vegetarian pot pie, cabbage salad, sweet potatoes roasted in their jackets and red beet quarters in mustard and sour cream. A very nice Gewurtzaminer topped it all off, and then these two lemony mirenguey spectacular babies.
Today, Mrs. Mushnik met Mummy Plotnik. It's been a wonderful holiday so far.

Mirengue? Is this anything like meringue? Do we dance to one, I ask, and eat the other? Or is it that we eat the dance to feed our souls when the lemon skies threaten our carefree rising. And it remains the week leading to the new year when anything can happen. So pie. And herring -- not red.
