As contrasted with "This is the place to get it all right"?

There was a link to a nifty article quite some time back about how  
long properly made pies could last.  Anyone save the link to that one?

I think a properly made two-crust pie, well frozen, should keep  
safely in a cooler for at least a day.  Thoughts?

On a related note, I've been considering  canning "compost" for this  
Pennsic.  Anyone done that - or just canned turnips?  Most cookbooks  
and such recommend against canning turnips.

I've got a *lot* of experimenting to do before August.
