I should start by saying that I have never made a pie before, but that I am a seasoned cook who can follow recipes to the letter, although I usually don't use recipes in my cooking.
The meringue was perfectly tasty and not too sweet like some.. I will definitely use Rhonda's recipe for meringue again, although I added 2 egg whites for extra meringue. Thank you, Rhonda!
The lemon filling, however, was not to my taste at all. IMHO, it was the most sickeningly sweet "food" I had ever tasted. I also had added extra lemon to it along the way, to no avail.
Also, and this part could be the novice in me, the cornstarch clumped up in the sugar mixture (yes, I had the cs in a "smooth paste" before I added it gradually). And once it clumped up, there was nothing I could do but to pull out the clumps. It was an awful experience, and of course, after the oven time, the filling "fell" and melted.
I will need more practice, but I think I will only keep the part of this recipe for the meringue. Thank you.
