But...but... Mincemeat and Strawberry Rhubarb are some of the BEST pies!
Funny thing about mincemeat - it used to contain actual meat. Not much, but some. What you see in stores now, calling itself mincemeat is actually what used to be called "Mock Mincemeat". When I was a kid, Knouse Foods, where Dad worked made Lucky Leaf pie fillings in a lot more flavors than they do now, and they made REAL mincemeat. They also made a raisin pie filling. We'd get them cheap from the commissary, dented cans or ones with cosmetic rust or other damage irrelevant to product quality but making it harder to sell.

Almost forgot, I hate grapefruit.

To be fair, even in real mincemeat you'd be hard pressed to identify anything that resembled meat, beyond a fiber or two.

I think mincemeat is one of those things that fell by the wayside as our culture moved in the direction of simpler flavored sweet things. Between the dried fruit, the candied peel, the brandy and/or rum, and the spices, it's a more complex flavor than, for example, chocolate pudding in a shell.

The closest Costco to me is buried close to 100 miles deep into a neighboring state. So . . . . . . . .

You don't even need an Instacart membership to use Same Day Costco. But it's cheaper with an Instacart membership.

It's Costco, BJ's and Sam's, in that order. If you can get to a Costco forget about the rest.

Same. A BB gun in NYC was out of the question.

We had dirt clog wars. Always would end up with someone throwing an actual rock and somebody crying.

We’ve been in 5 airports in the last two weeks and none have had working phone charger outlets. In fact, I don’t ever remember a working usb charger in any airport.

My all-star favorites list is headed by blueberry pie, then of course apple pie.
Chocolate pie is dumb. If I want chocolate I get a cake, or ice cream, or dark candy.
