and cream of tartar until whites are stiff. Add sugar, 1 tablespoonful at a
time; beat well after each addition. Add vanilla and lemon extracts; beat
until stiff peaks form. Fold in crushed noodles and choped nuts. Spoon and
arrange meringue in buttered 9 inch pie plate, spreading around sides and
on bottom to leave center “hollow” for filling. Bake in a 325 f. oven for
30-35 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool completely. Fill center with
partially thawed frozen strawberries. Top with sweetened whipped cream. If
desired garnish with coarsely crushed chow mein noodles sprinkle on top.
