Kit is not bakeoff champion

Some friends and I had a bakeoff competition. I made lemon meringue pie (all or nothing - I had never made this before), drove carefully to work, heard some sliding noises from the backseat. Once @ work, I  found that the curd hadn't set, and I had to scrub bits of it off the backseat. 

Then, after taking the competion pie into the arena: remembered that I had had to brake suddely on the freeway en-route, and I realised was missing a pie. I had no idea where it had ended up. 

Sticky date pudding won, dammit.

Becstarr : Building organisms

More relaxation by cooking: Baked my first yeast-risen bread! Smelt amazing, texture good, but the taste wasn't as intense as I was after. I may need to investigate specialist flours.
