Apple Blackberry Pie - Pi Day 2011

Happy Pi Day once again!

Pi (3.14) is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, and it's a super important number to mathematicians and scientists alike.  Sometime in the 1980s people began baking pies to mark the occasion.   Most importantly, Pi Day is another reason to eat lots of yummy pies.  Here at ADON this is our third Pi Day celebration, but I've been involved in celebrations since I was in high school.

This year's pie is an apple blackberry pie, a recipe that originally came from delish.com, but I had to tweak it a bit, of course.

Lonely Chicago Pie - Pi Day 2010

I have finally found the camera so now I can show you my Pi Day 2010 creation, the Lonely Chicago Pie (which I feel I should warn you, is neither lonely nor Chicago-related.  But it is one hell of a yummy pie.)  The recipe for this pie comes from the movie Waitress, starring Keri Russell.  Much of the story takes place in a pie diner and to that end many many wonderful and creative pies are showcased.  

Boston Cream Pi

Every year since college I have helped to organize a Pi Day celebration at my workplace. For those of you not in the know, pi is the the term mathematicians use to refer to the ratio of a circle's diameter to its circumference. Since the value of pi is approximately 3.14, dorks like me all over the world celebrate Pi Day on March 14th. (I could blame my high school math teachers for starting me on this path, but it's a tradition I've proudly carried on myself for over a decade, so I guess it's mostly my fault.)
