March 14 or 3/14 is pi day, or 3.14
Celebrate with your favorite PIE!
My #1 is Lemon Meringue
To Obama every day is pi in the sky day.
but he’s too bitter to enjoy it
Happy people enjoy pie.
He ain’t so he don’t
True.
In one of those classic moves that proves government ain’t that bright National Pie Day is Jan 23rd. I’ve never bought a pie for that pie day, I always get a pie for pi, and put it on our pi plate.
More accurately, Pi is 3.14159....
So, is next year Pi day/year, or is it the year after that (rounds to 3.1416)?
My youngest grandson took a Pie to school today along with 5 or 6 other kids in his math class for a Pi lesson, he was looking forward to the eating part. LOL!
If you like pie, just make it both years. :>)
Had to schedule it during Lent, didn’t they?
"Pi-in-the-Sky"
NEVER give up pie during Lent.
AND, if PIE isn’t SPECIFICALLY in the contract, then you didn’t really give it up!
PIE in the sky
Cantaloupe Custard Pie
1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked
1 cantaloupe
1/2 cup white sugar
8 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 egg yolks
2 tbsp water
1 tbsp butter
1/4 tsp butter flavored extract
3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons white sugar
Peel then cut cantaloupe in sections, remove and discard
seeds, and dice into small chunks into a saucepan. Place
over medium heat until it comes to a gentle boil. Mash the
cantaloupe as it heats. This should make about 2 cups of
pulp.
Combine 1/2 cup sugar, flour, and salt. Add to heated
cantaloupe and cook, stirring, until thick. The amount of
flour seems large, but it takes considerable thickening to
obtain the correct consistency.
In a large bowl, beat egg yolks; add water to yolks. Add a
little of the cantaloupe mixture to egg yolks in order to
heat yolks gradually. Stir egg yolks mixture into cantaloupe
mixture. Continue cooking, stirring, until thick and creamy.
Remove from heat.
Add butter or margarine and flavoring to the cantaloupe
mixture, then pour into baked pie shell.
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar together until frothy.
Continue beating, adding the 6 tablespoons sugar gradually;
beat until thick peaks form. Top the pie with this meringue.
Bake at 400F until top is lightly browned. (The crust and
filling are done, so you are just cooking the meringue.)
(as a final note, some people can and will try to eat the
entire pie themselves.)
I had 3 pi’s last week and 14 the month before. Last year I had 159 down from 265 the previous year and 359 the year before that.
I’m pi’d out.
When referencing pretty girls (or pies) the rules REQUIRE pics.
Do you wish to be known as a rules breaker?!@
If You Like Your Pie.... You Can Keep Your Pie...and Eat It Too!
