Good morning!
Publication of the Next to Newsletter is going to be a little
haphazard for a few weeks. Graduation is coming up, plus the Glazers will be
doing some traveling- to Macon for an oratorical contest, then to North Carolina to
help Molly move home for the summer (YEA!!) I'll try to keep things updated with
links and special savings on our Facebook page. If you haven't "liked" us, now's
a good time. Just click here.

Feeling Crafty?
When I first saw this blog, I was totally
charmed by the sweet sewing kit made from a jelly jar and bits of this and that.
It's a thoughtful little gift to send with kids on their way to college or just

21 Uses for Vodka
Thought vodka was just for Bloody Marys?

Here's a nice spin on the classic lemon meringue pie recipe...
Orange Meringue
Pie
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie
crust
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 pinch salt
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup water
4 eggs, separated
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, cut into
pieces
2 teaspoons grated orange
zest
1/2 cup diced orange
segments
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of
tartar
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Line pastry with aluminum foil and a layer of pie weights or dried beans. Bake in the preheated oven until edge of crust is golden, about 10 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and weights; bake about 5 minutes more.
- In a small saucepan, stir together the 3/4 cup sugar, 1/3 cup cornstarch, and salt. Mix in the orange juice, lemon juice, and water. Whisk in the egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thick and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in butter and orange zest. If desired; stir in diced orange segments. Pour into prepared pie crust, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside to cool.
- When pie filling has cooled to room temperature, preheat oven and prepare meringue. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a large glass or metal bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar and cream of tartar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Spread over pie, making sure the meringue completely covers the filling and meets the edges of the pie crust.
- Bake in preheated oven until meringue topping is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Wise Words
What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.
These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life's pathway, the good
they do is inconceivable.
