I have to say I love Publix and the commissary. I get awesome deals at Publix and the meat is always fantastic at the commissary.

My Mother taught me the basics and the rest I learned from cooking shows, cook books and trial and error. My husband is retired Navy and it always seemed we had a few, say 5 - 20 guys more than willing to try anything homemade all the time. :)

TORTIERE! It is an amazing French-Canadian Meat Pie and my mother makes it every Christmas Eve! It simmers ground beef, veal and lamb together for hours with spices and fills a buttery double pie crust and is baked to perfection! OMG!

The most memorable pie for me would probably have to be when I first got to have a piece of chocolate cream pie at Thanksgiving. I had been allergic to dairy and finally outgrew it. I was thrilled to get to finally get to try it!

Fried Apricot Pie at Pat's Barbeque in Fort Worth. Back when I was in high school a certain group of us from the nearby neighborhood used to hang out there after school and on weekends. Barbecue bologna sandwiches and fried pies were our staples along with the fountain-made cokes and 7-Up's to which you could get vanilla or cherry syrup added. But the apricot fried pie was the most delicious pie I have ever eaten...the crisp pie crust was tender and not greasy and was overloaded with pure mashed redolent apricots...that is all you could taste along with the subtle unctiousness of butter. I have never tasted a pie purer in flavor since.

The most memorable pie I ate was an apple pie in Oak Glen, California at the pick-your-own fruit orchards there that was piled high with delicious fruit.
