Kentucky Bourbon Pie
4 teaspoons gelatin
2 tablespoons cold water
1/4 cup sugar
7 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons boiling water
grated zest of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup best-quality Kentucky bourbon
1 1/2 cups heavy or whipping cream
4 large egg whites
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 10-inch pie shell, baked
preserved kumquats or fresh kiwi fruit, for garnish
In a small bowl, stir the gelatin into the cold water. Set it
aside to soften. In a heavy saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of the
sugar with the egg yolks and beat until the mixture is pale
yellow and smooth. Place the pan over a medium heat and heat
thoroughly; do not allow the mixture to boil. Remove the pan
from the heat.
Stir the boiling water into the softened gelatin and mix
thoroughly. Add the gelatin to the egg mixture, along with
the lemon zest and juice. Add the bourbon and mix well.
In a chilled bowl, whip the cream until it is stiff. Set
aside one quarter of the whipped cream and fold the rest
into the egg mixture.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff
peaks. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, beating
until the whites form a stiff meringue. Fold them gently into
the egg mixture. Stir in the vanilla.
Spoon the filling evenly into the baked pie shell and refrigerate
until firm, 2 to 3 hours.
To serve, cut the pie into wedges and garnish with preserved
kumquats or a few slices of kiwi. Serve the remaining whipped
cream separately (or use to garnish the pie before slicing).

Kitchen and Household Tips for this week:
Cleaning Tips
Do Away With Nasty, Cupboard Odors
The first method you should try to remove odor from your cupboards is
to place a box of baking soda inside each cabinet. Baking soda will take
care of most odor problems. However, if the baking soda does not
alleviate
the problem, take everything out of your cabinets and wipe down the
inside
of your cupboards with a heavy mixture of white vinegar and water.
The vinegar odor will be strong when you are applying it, but when it is
dry it will not be noticeable.
If you have kitchen or household tips that you would like to share with
fellow readers, please jot them down and email them to:

News from Possum Waller
Tailgaters…don’t ya love them? Did you ever notice they come in two
categories’ most of the time, not counting the stupid teenager who
thinks
its cool. They seem to be large Neanderthal types in big trucks or
Blonde
Buffy’s in large vehicles. Perhaps we could arrange a nice long film of
the
result of lunatic driving? But keep up the good work guys, you all keep
emergency services folks in a job. Slow news day so you could consider
this a Public Service Announcement.
