My next project on Key West Cantina is to create some cooking videos. I have filmed my first one. It's about how to make Key Lime Pie with Meringue topping.
It's a simple recipe, but no one seems to make them. The history of the pie in interesting. When sailors used to land on the island, which was virtually uninhabited then (for one thing, it has no natural fresh water), they found lime trees with little, tiny, tart key limes. They also found birds eggs. So, they just mixed them up. The lime chemically cooked the eggs. They added some sugar and they had a primitive key lime pie. The limes were good for them--prevented Scurvy. We saw a billboard last time we were there that said, "Prevent Scurvy. Eat Key Lime Pie."
But now my DV tape is stuck in my camera and it's in the shop, so we'll all have to wait for my cooking show debut. I did get half of it uploaded before I took the camera to the shop, and the other half is safe on another tape, so, yes, you will get to see it. I just have to edit out all the laughter when my husband almost fell off the kitchen stool laughing at me while I was filming and decide if I should leave in the part when I was "beating" the egg whites when he loudly proclaimed that I could "beat him anytime."
