I could make you a nice lemon merangue pie. Might not make the plane trip too well though.

... In Massachusetts all the way
From Boston down to Buzzards Bay
They feed you till you want to die
On rhubarb pie and pumpkin pie,
And horrible huckleberry pie,
And when you summon strength to cry,
"What is there else that I can try?"
They stare at you in mild surprise
And serve you other kinds of pies. ...

That is LMP's great weakness. Meringue that moist does not travel; make it onsite. Even a car trip across town can make the meringue get a bit goopy. It's nice how the first thing it soaks is the graham cracker crust, but if it gets on the upholstery, uh oh.

And it's kind of expensive mailing those heavy little cans of condensed milk, too.
