Happy National Pie Day!

For whatever it’s worth, the American Pie Council (www . piecouncil . org/) has declared every January 23 National Pie Day. Although the APC seems to focus mainly on eating pies rather than, you know, we think this new holiday is a peach of an idea (peach pie — yum!) and encourages MBers of all lands to embrace it wholeheartedly. Those who can’t will get another chance when Pi Day rolls around on March 14.

Pie stories, anyone?

Fabulous! Mine was pecan.
A funny pie anecdote: I was at a party with one of my friends (who had just gotten home from college) and we were all bringing dessert. (This was a fun theater reunion party.) One of my friends went to a frozen yogurt place and had the worker spiral the frozen yogurt into a pie crust. It was amazing.

Happy Pie Day everyone!
I did quite possibly happen to attend the Pie Parade today. It was flammy (and cold). I have eaten…*counts* at least ten pieces of pie. I took pictures of the pie, heheheh.
A trolley was supposed to take us to some of the farther inns (like I said, it was cold) but something must have gone wrong because they used two limos instead. It was SO. MUCH. FUN. And the sad thing is, I don’t even feel full.

I love memorising pi, but your teacher should know that there is also a pi day, not to be confused with pie day, on march fourteenth, because it’s 3/14, and in a few years it will be 3/14/15. then you can celebrate at 9:26, or even precisely down to the second of 9:26:53

Happy Pie Day!
Unfortunately, I can’t eat it right now because of food sensitivities (Don’t worry; they only came up over the summer, so it’s not as if I’ve never eaten pie in my life), but I recently read something interesting that I thought I should share: Frisbees are named after a pie company because people were throwing the (unfortunately empty, for the most part) tins! Isn’t that awesome?
It was called Frisbie Pie Company, and it was famous for selling a certain type of pie in its tin, and you could either keep the container or bring it back and get some money back. Well, people took to keeping the pie tins and throwing them at people, and when Frisbies were invented (with a different name), they reminded people so much of the pie tins that people kept calling them Frisbies, though the spelling eventually changed.

There’s a bakery near my house that on Pi day (Pi day, not pie day) will give you 1% off of a pie for each digit of pi that you can recite to them.
