If you read my blog last year (or if you click the link that follows), you'll remember the 12 pies I made and the event it became at work. Now I am working somewhere new, where people don't know me very well and... it's just different. I wasn't ready for it to become a spectacle like before.
Really, things were really busy the week or so before Pi(e) day and suddenly it's 3AM on Wednesday night when I realized it was almost Pi(e) Day. Since I've already told everyone what crappy holidays the ones I said above are, I figured I need to show them what a good holiday is.
I made a total of 5 pies this year. They went in on Friday so that I could put them out with my Pi(e) Day signs. So that people would understand.
Frozen Lemonade Pie
Corn and Bacon Pie x2
Pumpkin Pie x2
Here's a pic of the 2 pumpkin pies that I was packing to bring to work. How cool is that container by the way. The 2 pies fit perfectly so they don't slide around and get beat up. And it's got a carrying handle. There is a lid on the end that I have off in this pic but it fits well.
Last year I started planning it out several weeks in advance, baked a few every day starting about a week before, did quasi mise en place because who has time to bake multiple pies etc every night for a week. Let's just say it's a good thing I've got a much more user friendly kitchen now. There is no way I could do all this at my old apartment. That and I chose relatively easy recipes this year.
If you are reading this and you have no Pi(e) Day plans make them!! Make a pie! I have lots of recipes for them, here and here and here and here. Or Google if you don't like mine. Or go out and eat a pie. 3.14159265358979 pies. mmmmmm I like pie.
Still TBD what I will do today....
