Today is 3.14 so go grab a piece of pie!  

Pie is not a common menu item in MEX.  But there is a fine French patisserie on our street and we scored a few mini-quiches for lunch.

Ah yes, we did celebrate with pecan pie for breakfast and pizza pie for lunch.  have not figured out dinner yet.  I think you could call empanadas mini pies and be correct.  Just another version of a hand pie....

I'm glad that counts... that's what I had for lunch. Otherwise, Pi Day would have to be happy without my participation. I don't foresee me making or purchasing a pie tonight. :D

It's kinda like wrestling a gorilla... you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is tired.

I generally make a pi, sometimes, two, for Pi Day. But today, I was at a client site from 8 a.m. until 5:20, so no pi-baking for me. I do have an unbaked blackberry cobbler in the freezer I might bestir myself to go out and get and stick in the CSO...

 

Don't ask. Eat it.

gosh darn it.......

I want a piece of lemon meringue or Boston cream(OK, I know, I know.....it isn't really pie but I love it anyway).

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.

I'm on the road, and therefore settled for store-bought. At least it was locally made, with local apples. :)

According to my calculations, yes! My first exposure to Pi day was when visiting my daughter at college. The science department had tableellis set up selling slices to raise money for something. Very sweet.

I was going to make some pumpkin and gorgonzola tarts from a Diana Henry book but ended up going with this  Choy Sum and Feta Galette from Tenderheart.

Nice layers of flavor here with tumeric and black pepper in the pastry, green onion and garlic blended into the mascarpone layer, a big pile of Asian greens (I used tatsoi instead of choy sum), tangy feta and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

When we lived in St. Pete area of FL, there was a small airport with the IATA call letters, PIE.  On Pi Day they gave out slices of pie.
