I knew five.
I thought it would be apple pie. I was wrong.
Thanks for the answers, I got 4 right! Have a great day, Valerie
Hasta ahora no he leído el cuestionario, me faltó tiempo para hacerlo.
Ahora estamos en un tiempo de tanto calor, que hay hasta pocas ganas de comer y solo apetece cosas frescas, comocomo es un gazpacho o un salmorejo, muy típico en Andalucía, que es la tierra en que resido.
Que tengas un buen día.
Thanks for the answers.
...another test that I failed.
Such a lovely sweet treat!
I enjoyed the quiz. Pretty flowers and the lemon pie looks yummy.
Take care, have a great day!
Only three for me this month, I guessed the rest. I do love lemon meringue pie.
I hate to say how many I guessed right! lol But I'll look at the recipe, looks like a winner!
Thanks for the answers I have a pretty peridot ring. Love lemon meringue pie
This month was a great quiz. Ohhh Lemon meringue pie sounds so good. Have a nice day today.
Just as well I didn't take the quiz. I would have failed miserably.
YOU have a wondrous week.
Hello Jan, your posts are always very interesting.
Lemon Meringue Pie Day sounds fabulous. :)
Happy August! xx
Lemon meringue pie is one of the few desserts I make the old fashioned way which does have allot of sugar for us but we just figure it into our calorie count. actually I think this is the only desert I use sugar in now adays. enjoy your day Kathy

So far I have not read the questionnaire, I lacked time to do so.
Now we are in a time of so much heat, that there is even little desire to eat and only craving fresh things, such as a gazpacho or a salmorejo, very typical in Andalusia, which is the land in which I reside.
Have a nice day.
Doubt I would have known the answers. Sounds like a good tasty pie :-D
I only got 4, 5, and 6 right.
Lemon Meringue is my favorite pie. My gramma made the best ones ever!!
I had a few of these, but who knew lemon meringue pie had their own day. Yum!!!
Yes, just two.
Ha ha, I knew one of the questions, not very knowledgeable about August am I :)
I haven't had lemon meringue pie in years. So delicious!
Acerté varias de las preguntas, no todas. La tarta tiene que estar riquísima. Gracias por tus comentarios y sí, algunos estaban en spam, pero ya los recuperé. Besos.
