Pipie!
Happy Pi Day to anyone laaaame enough to know what it is! I actually thought about making a pie today to celebrate but… then I’d have a pie. And what would I do with it? So instead we’re just going to look at some pictures of my favorite pies.
1. French Silk pie – Has Baker’s Square really not gone under yet? I thought for sure it’d be non-existent by now… Anyway, BS is a terrible casual family chain restaurant in the midwest that I frequented in my youth. But no one goes for the food. Nope, this is pie country. French silk was our pie of choice as kids because it’s less a pie and more a pudding cup in served in pastry dough.

2. Strawberry Rhubarb pie – I’ve actually never even eaten a strawberry rhubarb pie but in college I saw a special on Food Network about pies and they featured one from an LA baker (whose name escapes me) that I have dreamed about ever since: strawberry rhubarb.

3. Pumpkin pie – Be serious. This is obviously on the list.

4. Pizza pie – Yeah, I can do that. Switched it up on you. How can we forget the greatest savory pie of all? The pizza pie.
Pizza pie!
5. Pot pie - No, no. Not this…

6. Apple pie with cheddar – This baby is about as midwestern as pies come. Straight out of the proud and cheesy state of Wisconsin, I bring you the cheddar-topped apple pie. Don’t crinkle your nose at this regional delight. It’s excellent. Hate on, haters.

What are your favorite pies?
Pot pie! Hysterical. You are a funny one.
Haha pot pie..
Pumpkin pie!!! Love it. And apple. And chocolate meringue. A lemon meringue cept I only eat the lemon part.
Yay for pie day!
Oddly enough, I live in Wisconsin and have never seen the apple pie/cheese combo!
i love Pi day. i am seriously going to try and see how far I can get memorizing the numbers.
i think i will be having carrot cake pie today to celebrate. and by pie, i mean cupcakes. but ill imagine them in pie form. [confession: i am so obsessed with carrot cake lately that i ACTUALLY calculated how many calories are in the ENTIRE batch JUST IN CASE i decide to eat them all. oh, dear. save me.]
then you’ll be thrilled to hear that the calories in pie-like goods don’t count on pi day! go wild!
OMG apple pie with cheddar!!!!! Goooooo. Let’s have another Chicago/Wisconsin trip soon??
