Making my mouth water!  And hanker for a lemon merangue pie.

The tweaks have this coming along sweetly.
The nuttiness of the crust is almost perfect, almond shortbread goodness.
The tartness could use just a slight more kick, I'll try 3/4 cup of lemon juice next time.
And the glaze is perfect with the lemon zest, better than plain powdered sugar.
