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!!
Oh my these are super cute. I bet they tasted equally as good! YUM!
