Lemon Meringue Pie..

H.
As many of you already know me and K. love cooking and baking. yesterday, before our first drivers ed. class, Kirstie persuaded her mom to make lemon meringue pies.  It started off all fun n' games, all three of us enjoying the baking.  (OK so to be honest I only cracked and separated the eggs, that's gotta count for something right?).  So anyways, were getting all of it ready, putting the lemon filling in the pie dough, topping it with meringue.  Then in the oven it went..  
It's in there for a good amount of time until the meringue turns golden...but something seems off.  We brush off the feeling and go to make a second pie.  Then just as were topping the second pie with meringue, it hits us.  WE DIDN'T COOK THE PIE CRUST!!!  For any of you who have not made lemon meringue pie, you have to cook the crust first than fill it.  Well we missed a step.  So the meringue had turned a nice golden color, but the crust was still doughy.  

(I found out K. snuck a post on here. so guess I will too, I'm very mad at her! Ok so I'm not mad at her, how could I be)    


This isn't our pies, but it is a lemon meringue pie. Enjoy!

Driving

K. I am sneaking in a post here, so don't tell Hedi.  Hehehe.
Well here's how it goes people, when you're around the age of 16, you go to classes and learn all that not-very-interesting stuff about driving..  Well Hedi and I have done all that.  Now, to drive.  Our first driving class is today and we're both quite nervous.  But, secretly, I think we'll do quite well..  And have fun, so if we aren't the best drivers in the world, too bad because we're new.  But yeah, I thought I would just share this, so everyone knows to: stay off the roads.  No just kidding, we're not terrible.
Well, gotta go..  Posting before H finds out..

Day One

K. It started at around 12:30 this afternoon.  Hedi came over, and we went straight to the table with a pad of paper and a couple of ideas.  As you may or may not know, we share a dream of becoming restaurant owners and franchisers.  So today, I begged H. to come to my place to begin the planning of our first location (Hedi is in Grade 10, and I am in 11).
Well, we got a bit carried away as we drew, planned, shared ideas, and laughed.  Our little light bulb moments came in handy in the big picture, but we're just getting started. Buut, I will let H. share a bit before I reveal the entire plot.

H. As Kirstie has told you, she had to beg me to go over to her house.  At first I couldn't get K's idea in my head, but her struggles were worth it, because now I can.  Today, we've been able to draw up a sketch of both the interior and exterior of our restaurant.  Kirstie was already looking at lamps... (I would say that's planning a little too far into the future). 
It is around 9:00, we've been at this for 8 and a 1/2 hours now and we're only on Day 1.  Tonight she's packing up and we're heading over to my place to continue planning.

K&H. We've spent quite a bit of time sketching, erasing, arguing, laughing, and agreeing with each other; we've finally created the first draft of the exterior.  Well, I'd say, I being Kirstie, that the two of us have revealed enough for the first day.  So, only to be nice, we will add a picture of the frontal view of our restaurant.
