Meringue must be crispy on the outside and just a tad gooey on the
inside... I find it's easy enough to accomplish this when I use really
fresh eggs - and I always have some of those around ;-)

Anyway, thanks for reminding me about it - daughter will probably have a
ball making it at the weekend <g> and the dogs can have a few egg yolks -
they love 'em.
