     It's February, and I am again rifling through my grapefruit recipes.  I always crave this bitter, tangy fruit during the winter months.  These grapefruit halves are sweetened with the addition of brown sugar and a cloud of baked meringue.

SERVES 2
• 1 large pink grapefruit
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 egg whites (1/4 cup)

• 1 pinch cream of tartar
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 generous tablespoons granulated sugar

PREHEAT OVEN to 425˚F
1.  Slice grapefruit in half and sprinkle flesh with brown sugar.
2.  In a medium bowl using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form.  Slowly add the sugar, beating at high speed until the meringue is stiff and glossy.
3.  Dollop or pipe meringue onto the grapefruit halves and place on the middle rack of the preheated oven.  Bake for approximately 7 minutes, or until meringue is golden.
4.  Remove from oven and serve immediately.

This looks so good, I can only begin to imagine how good it tastes!
(Says she, then goes to bed and dreams of breakfast at your house.)

Good night from Vienna,

The last time I ate broiled grapefruit was in home economics class in the 8th grade :\
I vaguely remember being awed.
We didn't get the billowy meringue, just brown sugar and a regrettable maraschino cherry!
