Happy Pi(e) Day!

8 years ago

Happy Pi(e) day! Are you celebrating? We recently moved, and I'll look for a lunch place that has pie on the menu. I rarely if ever saw it in California, but Pennsylvania is a more pie-y state, I think.

Homemade pizza and lemon meringue pie. We like to get all the relevant food groups.

My 9-year-old son insisted that we have pie, so my husband baked a cherry pie last night. We'll dig into it today!

When Pi day is a school day, you should see the pies that stack up in the school office, waiting to be picked up for math classes! Despite being a decidedly mathy kid, DS16 slept in past 9:26. We did have quiche for brunch (also a Frenchy kid). And for dinner, since he has involvement with Sweeney Todd, we having Shepherd's Pie (not "peppered with actual shepherd"). Or perhaps chicken pot pie, with chicken, not cowards. Also watching the movie (with Angela Lansbury and, believe it or not, Neil Patrick Harris!) And French Silk pie for dessert. And a long long walk tomorrow to work it all off.

Even though I was good at HS geometry (stunk at math, though), I realized the use of Pi when I bought a house and wanted to put a mulch circle around a tree and edge it with plastic edging. Then I learned I don't need to take Pi beyond the decimal, because the edging came in 20' rolls. Some kids in my son's third-grade class had a Pi contest: how far out can you memorize and recite Pi? DS won, closely trailed by the girl who had a huge crush on him through high school. He is still such a math kid. Won't write an English essay to save his life but took Differential Equations for fun. And finally, the Purdue engineering school cheer, according to my dad (I can't type in math on my tablet, so forgive the modern English representation) "E to the x, dy, dx E to the x, dx. Cosine! Secant! Tangent! Sine! 3.14159!" And to this day, I take Pi out to 5 places (even though edging comes in 20-ft rolls).

I made a gluten-free crumb crust and will be adding a layer of whipped cream cheese topped with the leftover blueberry topping I made this morning for the Oatmeal Pancakes. It's a small pie dish that will serve 4 small slices. The crust is cooling ready for filling and refrigerating. Such fun.

Much pie in PA, especially shoo-fly pie in the center of the state. I have a small cherry pie from a local bakery in Avon-by-the-Sea.

Find yourself a good diner, that's a pretty PA/NJ thing, even compared to here in MI. There's an awesome bakery in Willow Grove, but they are a cake, cookie and awesome danish cinnamon bun place, pies not so much. It's called

Weinrich Bakery, address is 55 Easton Rd., just up the street from the mall. Closed on Monday. One of the best bakeries ever.

My son is home from college - he's making us a French Silk Chocolate Pie right now. We will eat it after his strawberry-habanero marinated ribs that are slow cooking in the oven :)

I'll be baking a Sawdust Pie. Not nearly as horrible as it sounds.

We've yet to decide if we're going to order a pie (pizza pie that is) for dinner or make a pot pie. And we made a giant chocolate chip cookie, baked in a pie pan for dessert. Love Pi(e) day!

Hopefully you'll soon find a good farm market Sushi. Lots of great Amish baked goods, including pies.

Nope, I completely missed it. Elery and I are building an island in the kitchen and my prep space is pretty much taken up with drills, hammers, tapcons, silicone adhesive. Maybe I could do a belated Pi(e) Day? I just really want to get this done before Easter, so no pie.

Aw. No pie on rounded pie day? (PI is 3.14159, and rounded would be 03.1416 or 03/14/16) . We too didn't have pie on pi day. Even though we're complete geeks, math or otherwise.

No pie in California?? Oh that wouldn't suit me at all! You'll have no problems finding all kinds of pie in PA.

I made a coconut cream pie last Saturday, so 2 pies in one week is far too many, much as I would love it. :-)

Too much pie? That's like too much money.
