Winter Savory Pie & 16 more

It's a bleak and overcast winter's morning as I write this article.  I am looking out the window at my garden. My Parsley & Sage have finally withered ... I should have picked more of it when I had the chance.  Overall, it has been a warmer than usual winter with hardly any snow, bad for the perennials, but good for those cold hardy crops.  I doubt my roses will survive.
#208 Turkey Shepherd's Pie
  Earlier this  month I was able to pick a whole handful of Parsley, and a couple of sprigs of Sage, the 1st time I've ever done that...in January.  They  added  a nice fresh taste to the Meat Pies. 
I have devoted much of my time this winter to developing a decent  Savory Pie.  I've done a lot of  Quiches and Pot Pies, but I want to bake a heartier meal. 
I like the Shepherd's Pie because it has that mountain of mashed potatoes on top, sprinkled with cheese and OMG your in  HEAVEN !
At least I hope he is.  
Here's a run down of the last sixteen pies baked from this past December into the new year. I might hit the 365 by July...July 25th 2010 was the day this whole quest began... now wouldn't that be a nice finale?

my pies are progressively getting better.
The Apple Cranberry Nut Pie has  become one of my most requested.
Followed quickly by my very rich
French Silk Pie. 
One of my customers tells me  it's like ... "a pie made out of the best candy bar in the world."
