Happy Pie Day!

March 14, or 3.14 is Pi day! Yay!

Michael and I were talking last night about how fun it would be to go back to elementary school knowing what we know now. You have parties in the middle of the day for big reasons, little reasons, and sometimes no reason.

So although Friday is our crazy day (I am on campus from 7am to 7pm and Michael works till 8:45pm), we're celebrating Pi day this evening with pie.

I'm also going to watch an episode of Pushing Daisies online.

This meant that I had to choose ONE kind of pie to make. Sigh...

I really love making pies. It's been my favorite Thanksgiving responsibility for years. Pecan pie, pumpkin pie, chocolate cream pie, lemon meringue pie, strawberry pie, banana spice pie (SO GOOD, somday I'll post the recipe), apple crumble pie, and then...there's the most amazing pie in all the world: cherry almond pie.

How I wish I had the ingredients on hand to make that pie! My uncle made it for me last fall and I fell so deeply in love with that pie that I had him make several more for my wedding in December. The poor man also made my beautiful wedding cake, but that's another story.

ANYWAY... I've decided that based on the ingredients I have on hand, we're having apple pie. I'm sort of toying with the idea of making cup-pies. Sort of like cupcakes...except with pie...in ramekins.

I'll post pictures and the pie recipe later on to share.
