Tammy I just finished making your recipe for coconut cream pie probably about 2 hours ago probably about 7:00 and be ready to be 8:00 I can't wait to dig into it I'm from Rome Georgia and and I live in Texas that people in Texas they really don't know how to cook and I'm still from the deep South just like you are you're from college but you living in somewhere close to Florida now but anyway if I want a recipe that I don't have a cookbook anymore I'll go to yours and I don't think that I wasn't sure was the amount of the cornstarch to put in but anything else I'm pretty much on my own I just have to refresh a little bit cuz I don't cook that much anymore but that's what's for a dessert tonight coconut cream pie thanks for your recipe.

I made it yesterday and left it overnight to make sure it was good and cold and set up. IT WAS SO GOOD! I'd never made meringue before and your tips made it come out perfectly. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
