Personal Notes:
*For years I thought this was called Lemon Chest Pie. I originally wrote the recipe that I have by either Grandma or Mom reciting the ingredients to me as I wrote it down, hence the misunderstanding of the name of the pie. This has to be my all time favorite pie above all others. It’s sweet, lemony and buttery with a slight crunch on the top; it is absolutely delicious. I do love my pie. Dawn has always requested this pie for Thanksgiving or when they were going to be at our house.
Not to bore anyone, but one year when I was teaching English II, I had assigned a creative, descriptive writing assignment in which the students were to use personification In their piece. I wrote one also to share with them, guess what it was about? Pie!
