Lemon Merengue pie was a success. I think I've discovered my new go-to way to make pie crust via the food processor. No more falling apart crusts! No more gooey hands! This is life-changing, I tell you! Adding a teaspoon of cornstarch and a half a teaspoon of cream of tartar bulked up the merengue as well. I've already gotten requests to make a chocolate silk pie and a coconut creme pie from two of my other inspectors. I might do them when people least expect it, just so we don't have a full week of nothing but sweets.
Just ordered my new steampunk outfit from Etsy. I should have shopped there for my usual Faire garb; I just spent about half of what I paid for my usual green and white outfit. I bought a tan blouse and a brown/tan bustle skirt - I'm using my black corset for now, but the shop I bought everything from has beautiful corsets that I'm thinking of using as incentive to shape up the waistline instead of coming home and then sitting like a blob on the sofa. I didn't ask when the skirt and shirt would be done, but fingers are crossed that I get them in time for Comicpalooza.
Now I just need to head out to Hobby Lobby or Hancock Fabrics and look for some neat looking neo-Victorian style fabric to make a wrist and/or belt pouch to put my wallet in.
