HAPPY PI DAY!



I'm fairly sure that Pi Day is my husband's favorite holiday. Not because he's an engineer, but because he gets a pie on Pi Day. Last summer I froze about two pints of blueberries for making him a blueberry pie, just for today. Most blueberry pie recipies call for a double crust, so I made a double-crust apple pie over the weekend to practice. It turned out very nicely, and so did the blueberry pie, which I had to make last night because tonight I have class.

To be logical about the pie on Pi Day, it seems that Pi Approximation Day (22/7, July 22nd) would be better for the pie, because a lot of fruit is in season and is cheap. Also it is more excuses to have pie. (it's really a pity that I don't like fruit pies.)

:) Thank you! I think the crust fluting needs practice.

That is a cutie patootie pie.

If you think so, I have accomplished my goal of making a cute pie. ^_^

[jaina.livejournal.com]

A winner is you!

..What's with the Russkies trolling your journal? Babel fish makes no sense of it except that the first one seems to want to stir the shit. (?????)

[jaina.livejournal.com]

I have no fucking clue. They've never commented before. I go ban now.

[arafel.livejournal.com]

*shakes head* I dun get it.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Babelfish says one of them is commenting about you being in the same f1 community or something. XD

I saw that. If the statement hadn't been translated with such sentiments as "going to hell," it might have been friendly. I suppose teenagers are teenagers, no matter the country. Pity that lul1aby isn't around to tell us what the dealio is.

Haha, maybe she can look later.

No (fruit) pie? :(

[arafel.livejournal.com]

No, I'm really not fond of berries in general, and many fruit pies are berry (blueberry, cherry, blackberry, strawberry-rhubarb, you get the idea.) Pies like key lime, black bottom, pecan, etc. are great!

That's a good looking pie. And good for you, for knowing how to make a food you don't like. I usually don't bother to learn if I'm not going to eat it. XD

I enjoy baking - I find it very relaxing and fun. Making something I don't like means I don't add to the size of my posterior because of my hobby. (Going out to dinner accomplishes that nicely, sigh.)

I am very impressed with the little heart shapes! Cute!

Cookie cutters! :) I have all shapes and sizes.
