Happy Pi(e) Day!

10 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!

Here's Sunset Celebration...and so forth. I still have all my old bookmarks of your rose threads too except some have shifted in the albums so they no longer are visible, so it's always a treat to be able to see the ones that are gone....

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).

Chloebud, stop by any time! However, the berries will be ready about June, plan ahead, LOL. Some cherries might still be left then too! heatheron, that's a very neat idea for your pie crust, I'll have to remember that. Your son is right, though, crisps are easier than pie, and equally delicious. Carol, organic produce is expensive here too, so I grow as much of my own as I can. I'm trying to figure out how to keep the birds out of the cherry trees, the chipmunks out of the strawberries, the turkeys out of the corn patch, the deer out of the garden and the groundhogs out of everything! One of my sweet cherry trees is the creamy colored Royal Ann, which is supposed to fool the birds and they think it isn't ripe. We'll see, I guess... I have made cherry jam from the sour cherries but I seem to be the only person that likes it, and I made cherry BBQ sauce too, but it wasn't a big hit. I did make an awesome cherry sorbet from them, though, and I'll make that again. Annie

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.
