Football day, part 2

I also decided on a dessert.  The library has a great cookbook by Gale Gand, a pastry chef at Chicago's Tru Restaurant.  The title of the book is "Just bites : 175 luscious desserts..." (I can't remember the rest.)  I decided on lemon beehives - little lemon meringue pie bites.
Unfortunately, they don't look quite like the picture in the cookbook (I mean she is a pastry chef, after all), but they taste delicious!  I made the pastry crusts and the lemon curd (thanks, CLC, for 2 snow days!) and froze until this morning.  The final step is to make the meringue and pipe it onto the little pies.  Brown in the broiler and enjoy!!
