There were a few road closures due to flooding.

As a rough estimate 1/2 cornflour to 1 3/4 of liquid (you can adjust the amount of lemon & water). If it's not thick enough for your preference, just make a bit more cornflour paste 9cornflour mixed with a bit of water) and add it to the saucepan. <BR/>p/s: I'm the same, I never used to care too much about the weather till I moved to Sydney!<BR/><BR/>Anh - I would if there was any left! :-)<BR/><BR/>Kristen - Thanks! The meringue was really easy to make. I am not fanatic when making meringues - <BR/>the only thing I made sure was that the eggs white were kind of at room temperature (the time it took me to prepare the filling and pie crust was enough). Even when a bit of egg yolk has fallen into my egg whites, after scooping out as much as runaway egg yolks as I could, I still don't have any trouble whipping it to a stiff peak. <BR/>p/s: It was nice chatting with you on e-mail. <BR/><BR/>Margaret - Yes, it does take a bit of time but I had no where to rush to on Sunday. Plus, I was multi-tasking in between making the crust, filling & meringue by doing the laundry and other chores. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Aimée - Thank you. I am feeling a bit better. I need to bake, erm, I mean make a new pain management strategy now that the pie is gone.<BR/><BR/>Cyhthia - Thanks, dear! Hugs are also good for pain. :-)<BR/><BR/>Janet - oooh, I love banana cream pie!<BR/><BR/>Patricia - Thank you! I have to admit that I had two slices that same day that I made it.<BR/><BR/>Holler - Thanks! This pie take a bit of time, but it's not complicated and I think it's worth it.Nora B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04360757422555317095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398592642206432605.post-24174792765096228222007-08-21T06:48:00.000+10:002007-08-21T06:48:00.000+10:00Hope you are feeling better.We are having lousy su...Hope you are feeling better.<BR/><BR/>We are having lousy summer this year.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one! :-)<BR/><BR/>Wendy - Making the pie definitely helped distract me from the pain. I highly recommended it for pain management. LOL<BR/><BR/>Valli - I am so certain that you won't have any trouble making this pie. If you have a food processor, it makes making the crust so much easier. Rolling it between two sheets of cling film makes it less cumbersome and easier to lift up into the pan. And meringues are actually easier to whip than most people think. I urge you to try!<BR/><BR/>Susan - Glad that I can inspire you for a change. I never thought about this before - humidity and meringues are not such good friends. As for sushi, did you make your own? <BR/>p/s: I made your lemon loaf last week and it was gone pretty quick. Dangerous stuff.... :-)Nora B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04360757422555317095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398592642206432605.post-63171336407772083052007-08-20T06:58:00.000+10:002007-08-20T06:58:00.000+10:00Sorry you aren't feeling well, Nora.
