Trudy's Seafood Pie

1/4 c. green pepper, chopped
2 T. onion, chopped
1/2 c. celery, chopped
1 c. mayonnaise
1 c. crabmeat
1 c. shrimp
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1/2 t. Worcestershire sauce
3/4 c. potato chips, crushed

Mix all ingredients together except potato chips. Fill individual shells or ramekins or spread in well greased 8 x 8 inch pan. Sprinkle potato chips over top. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. Serve at once. Serves 6.

Lemon Luscious Pie

4 T. lemon juice
4 T. water
25 marshmallows
3 egg yolks
1/4 t. salt
3 egg whites
9-inch baked pastry shell

Combine lemon juice and water. Add marshmallows which have been cut into small pieces. Cook over low heat until marshmallows have dissolved. Add beaten egg yolks. Cook over low heat until mixture is slightly thickened, stirring constantly. Cool. Add salt to egg whites, beat until stiff. Fold egg whites into marshmallow mixture. Pour into baked pastry shell. Chill into refrigerator. Serve with whipped cream or plain. Serves 6.

Trudy's Tip: To cut marshmallows, dip kitchen scissors in boiling water. The marshmallows will not stick to the hot metal. This is a delicate chiffon like pie, not too rich -- very good, I think.
