Orange Meringue Pie

Mr. Right and I just returned home after riding our bicycles 10 days in Florida.  We were looking for some warm weather.  While we were there, he discovered a recipe for orange meringue pie in a magazine.   I have never heard of it before, have you?   I decided it would be one to try, so when we got home, I bought some oranges at Kroger (forgot to get them in Florida) and found a recipe online at www.allrecipes.com.  It was really easy to make, and he liked it so much that he had two pieces of pie for dessert that night.  By the way, I doubled the filling recipe so it would be nice and thick.
