I figure if pie and cake work well...why not "Pot roast in a jar" stop laughing I'm fairly serious! Has anyone tried anything else to troops…like meat pies, etc?

But I'm fairly positive dry ice would be a huge no no in a war zone. It can be used to make bombs! I told my husband I was going to try....if it doesn't smell good or taste ok on first bite toss it. And soggy crust will be more like cobbler...we Southerners love that anyway! I am trying to figure out the same thing. But I’m fairly positive dry ice would be a huge no no in a war zone.

She has a nice detailed explanation, and if you'd like her to e-mail you, I could certainly ask her if that's ok. Sarah (a couple of comments above this one), tried sealing them up and mailing them.

The lids sealed really well. After they had cooled completely I put them in the freezer overnight. In the morning I wrapped them with bubble wrap and put them in one of those flatrate boxes from the post office with fragile written all over it. Sent them on Wednesday last week and my hubby got them Monday night. He said they turned out awesome. Nothing broke and the crust was not soggy. I did a homemade cherry/blueberry mix filling for the pies(his favorite). Now Hubby in Iraq gets to have my homemade pie on thanksgiving. Thanks for the idea Lauren. Give it a try Amber. I am sure your hubby would love it. I sent extra so he could share with his buddies. I am going to do this with cake for his birthday in January.
