Well, naturally I learned how to make it. (Oh, in Key West years ago.)
I also can make a great $10 Spanish Coffee. Like a local cool restaurant here.

key lime pie,,

never really liked it as a kid,,,but I tried a home made one,,,,,and really liked it,,
in fact she told me to eat the whole pie and I ate most of it..

if I go to a gathering and its potluck or a buffet-style I will look for this pie and be sure to save a piece

I don't dare to buy one at the store because even tho its not nearly as good,,,,id probly eat half of it to find out,,,

Mrs. Mac's? We rated their's and Joe's Stone Crab in Miami a tie. They were both awesome!

I don't do any chain version of a dish I did however figure out my Grandma's Noodles with many batches of trial and error.

And by the way Miss Hepburn, I wouldn't know a Spanish Coffee from any other coffee but I assume it include sprits of some kind? Sounds like a slam dunk accompaniment to the pie!
