In the neighborhood

The garden by the neighborhood's entrance. Due to a bad hip, Jackie had to give up her role as its caretaker about a year ago, and she tries not to lament all the weeds that have sprung up. Maybe they'll become dangerous, but for now, it still looks lovely.


Lemon meringue and coconut cream pie are the two favorite desserts of Jackie's boyfriend Ben. It was my first time making the former; I still need to try the latter.

doesn't it take a long time to bake the meringue?

Nope, not too long! The whole pie took a bit over an hour start to finish, if I remember right.
