Another month, another Daring Bakers challenge, and this month’s host – Jen, the Canadian Baker – chose lemon meringue pie. Now, I love me some lemon pie. I have a favourite, foolproof recipe, but it can’t hurt to try something a bit different once in a while. As usual, I left it to the last weekend to complete the challenge. S shopped for groceries, while I was stripping more paint off the woodwork.
With a pantry full of butter, sugar, eggs, lemon and cream, I fully intended to start baking. I even got as far as making the dough for the crust. And then… the call of the DIY became too strong to ignore. And so, by the end of the weekend, there was a lot of stripped wood, a ceiling without wallpaper on it, and not a lemon meringue pie in sight. Those lemons did come in handy though for our cocktail hour on Sunday evening…

Well...if you manage to make a paint stripper look sexy in a photo, I would love to see what you can do to LMP!
I love your fireplace mantle, anyway. ;)
Well done! I love this post ... hope the woodwork is coming out okay! And I hope you enjoyed those cocktails!
That's sort of a not LMP :) see you next month.
Very understandable...there's always the next challenge right?

Ha! Thanks for the laugh. You definitely get my vote for most creative post. Hope to see you next month.
At least DIY won't make you fat. Hope you had a few G&T's to smooth out any sore spots.
Sorry you didn't fit it all in, but what you did do is impressive! Glad the lemons went to a good use :)

Too funny! :0)
Well at least you put the lemons to good use!
