pumpkin pie

This is one of my first attempts to a meringue topping. It didn't go so well, but it was worth an effort.

So, I think I overbeat the meringue, or didn't add the sugar properly. I was really trying to go for a nice, creamy Italian meringue, but the sugar crystallized and I think that just messed up everything. Good thing my coworkers aren't too picky about the quality of the homemade baked goods I bring in..
