pie

Autumn is apple season around here, and one of my favorite ways to eat apples is in pie! Feast your eyes on this tasty treat. Happy autumn!

Today, March 14 (or 3/14), is Pi Day. You might remember from school that pi is a mathematical constant that has something to do with circles, and is approximately 3.14. In honor of this special day, I had to share this wonderful Pi Pie, made and photographed by megpi.

Notice the juicy, sweet, Greek pi design in the center of the top crust, and the beautifully browned pastry numerals along the outer crust. The forethought, effort, and sense of humor demonstrated in this delicious dessert are truly something to appreciate!

Speaking of pie, do you remember “The Pie Song,” sung by Andie Macdowell in the movie “Michael?” I’ll have to look that up. It’s a nice little musical tribute to pie.

EDIT: Here are the words to that song!

Pie, pie, me oh my.
Nothing tastes sweet, wet, salty and dry
all at once - oh, well it’s pie.
Apple!
Pumpkin!
Mince an’ wet bottom.
Come to your place everyday if you’ve got ‘em.
Pie! Me oh my!
I love pie!
