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.)

No (fruit) pie? :(

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!
