Lemon Meringue Pie

I made that for the Christmas party at Marcus' on 27th. Prepared the dough for the pie crust the night before and had it refridgerated. Then woke up at 1030am the next morning to roll out the dough and shape it into the pie crust pan and baked it.

Then I went on to make the filling after the pie crust was beautifully baked. I decided to taste the filling before pouring it into the pie crust. Luckily I tasted it, for the filling was extremely salty!! I then tasted the pie crust. It was salty too! That was when I realised that the 'sugar' in the container was salt!!! Till now, I am still amazed at how the sugar ended up as salt!!!

In the end had to re-make the whole pie and had to rush to the supermarket downstair to buy lemons. Luckily they had lemons and I still had the other ingredients at home.

Initially thought the crust would be a disaster because I only had time to keep it in the fridge for 1 hour. But I had no choice (partly due to my own stubborness too!) but to 硬着头皮做下去!! If not what to bring to Marcus'?

Fortunately everything turned out well. :D However, next time must use springfoam instead of pan because we had a hard time trying to get the pie out!!
