Time to dust off your favorite pie recipes and celebrate the day.

Here's the Wiki entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_Day).

I didn't even know pi day existed. I veiwed the site you put up Andie and seems it started in America.
Great excuse to eat pie though. Will take some mini apple pies to work for morning tea.

I'm reworking a recipe of an old family favorite to cut it down to size.  An Apple/Raisin/Bourbon pie with Sour cream topping.

I'm also going to make this savory pie (http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Farmer-s-Market-Sausage-Pie)
a friend sent me the link and assures me that this is one savory pie that is excellent served cold - she says her husband thinks it is better the second day after the flavors have had a chance to blend.

Andie thanks for reminding me. I have a recipe for Raisin and Port pie. It is delicious.

International Pi day was a huge hit at school. The teacher was very impressed that we as a family had spent so much fime & effort on ds news. The kids loved the pies. One little very very smart boy knew about pi, so he was happy that he knew about pi. The teacher told me it was more like yr 8 maths.

She would have to be impressed Hally, bet that got talked about in the lunch room with the other teachers.  Bet CP was rather chuffed with it's success.

Yes JD, all the kids were telling him the pies were great, he was the popular boy at school. This morning a few kids came up to me and said they loved my pies, bless them.

Thanks cookie.

Wow, Hally!  Your lovely DS was handed a huge lemon . . and look at the lemonade he came up with!!!  I'm sure this "lesson in life" will stick with him forever.  In my book, you're up for Parents of the Year!! :) :) :)

I totally love that my birthday is Pi day!!  ;D

I think my children should be into this and make me pies for my birthday every year!  They have no excuses really. ;)

Some schools here have really taken Pi day to a much higher level.  There are children who memorize as many of the (unending) numbers as they can and recite them just for the fun of it.
One young man recited more than 4000 numbers!   See (part of it) here. (http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/video/6844004-hundreds-of-students-celebrate-pi-day/)

I forgot to take photos of the pies I made.  Sausage pie for the savory and apple raisin pie for the sweet.  Had a nice veggie salad to go with...
