Yeah, I know. I've made them before and wound up throwing them out due
to a lack of interest on the part of HWSRN. I don't entertain except
under duress.

Hey, you'll like this, though: About 30 years ago I made this meringue
thing ‹ it was pictures on the cover of the Time-Life Foods of the World
book about foods of the Viennese Empire. It was a meringue case, made
by stacking meringue rings atop a meringue base, filled with fresh
fruits and whipped cream, then topped with another meringue layer and
decorated. My description doesn't do it justice and I'm damned if I can
find my copy of the book so as to provide the recipe, but it was pretty
cool.

Those were the days.
