Happy Pi Day everyone!
I always like a good excuse to bake a pie, especially when strawberries are starting to go on sale in March. Yum!
Today I made couple of good discoveries about Pi Day:
1. If I want to be realistic, I should only try to make EITHER dinner OR pie. Not both. One year I tried to make chicken pot pie AND strawberry pie. Bad idea. Does anyone else ever try to do way too much and end up with a big pile of dishes and a grumpy family?
2. Pizza IS pie. Of course! What a perfect day to both order pizza AND make pie. Why did I not come up with that one earlier?
I'll bet you thought (for a second) that I was going to have some actual discoveries about the number Pi, or some other mathematical discovery. Um, we'll leave that to Ben for the next Ramble.
Did I mention that Ben and I are the only ones that appreciate pie anyway? Henry and Ellis both view it as a vehicle for getting more whipped cream (and a good excuse to sing "The Great Pie," the most catchy little Backyardigans song ever). They inhaled the whipped cream, licked one strawberry each, and scratched around at the pie. It was really hard to see their barely-touched pieces of beautiful strawberry pie go to waste. So -- did I dump them down the sink? Or did I polish them off while Ben was out playing soccer and I was alone in the house tonight? I think I'll leave you in suspense on that one . . .

Hope you ate the barely touched pieces of pie, Jenn. Can't let your delectable homeade strawberry pie go to waste.Love your pies by the way. I am glad you simplified your life a little with ordering pizza pie(glad you realized that is a pie also). Happy pi day! We are celebrating on our "celebration day". Because our friends backed out on the planned (she didn't know her kids had plans)party. And Brady had school all night. So pretty much I am envying your delicious pie:).
I LOVE Henry's toothless smile! Adorable! And I hope you ate the pie too. It looks fabulous.
One of my young women's birthday is pi day. Lucky girl. I made a keylime pie yesterday for one of my friend's birthday. It was a raw pie. I used only nuts (ground to a flour, dates, honey, lime, cocount oil and some vanilla. It turned out quite well for such an endeavor. Sometimes it's an adventure having friends who don't eat flour or sugar. Ever.
Ooh if I was there I would have helped you finish those off. That strawberry pie looks glorious!
