A few weeks ago I went to lunch with my boss and somehow we got on the topic of food and pies and I told her that I loved to bake and wanted to open my own bakery place. (I've mentioned this lots here) Anyway she said well my daughter told me about the Driskill Hotel in Austin, quite famous hotel, that the 1886 resturaunt was having a pie contest. So I looked it up on the internet, got my entry in at 10:58 the deadline night (midnight deadline) and today low and behold I open up my email to this..............
