Moar butter! Also, too, bake the crust at ~400 degrees for about 10 minutes to crisp it up, then the Strawberry Chiffon *shiver of delight* won’t make it all soggy. Do you bake the chiffon filling, or is it no-bake in the baked graham cracker crust? First strawberries are such sweet ones! *********************** Not sure you'll see this, since the thread's a little old. It's a baked crust with unbaked filling--crushed, sugared strawberries, whipped cream, beaten egg whites, a little gelatin all folded together. Heaven. I'll try the hotter oven. I think that'll help. Bet you could make the same pie with fresh blueberries, once the season starts! Mmmmmmm. 89 thatcrowwoman Says:

That's why she hides behind pre-written speeches, hand notes, facebook, twitter (you should see how she has those social networks set up)...no negative comments allowed, no dislikes, no questions. She is one truly amazing piece of work...all out-going spews, no in-coming. Can you imagine running a state or country that way??!! Well, we know how AK turned out. #84 from the diagonal: I love Alan Grayson and his quick-wit…I even support his campaign from 3000 miles away. :)

Everytime I see her,I understand why the GOP paid so much money for clothes and a stylist.
