Yesterday was National Pie Day in the US, as declared by the American Pie Council. Missed it.
A Baker's Dozen Ways to Celebrate National Pie Day on January 23
Register for the 2005 APC Crisco National Pie Championships being held on April 22-24 in Celebration, Florida. Entry forms will be available after Labor Day.
Eat pie. Whether you make it yourself, buy it at a supermarket or bakery or order it at a restaurant, eat some pie on National Pie Day. Pie is great with lunch or dinner or as a late-night snack.
Make pie. Bake your favorite homemade pie on National Pie Day.
Share pie. If you make or buy a pie, share it. By its very nature, pie is meant to be eaten with others. Have a pie potluck get-together.
Teach pie making. Stage classes and demonstrations and samplings at stores and schools. Invite seniors who KNOW pie to teach a class. If you don't know how to make pie, ask a pie maker to show you or attend a pie-making class.
Hold a pie night. Gather family and friends for a pie celebration. Everyone must bring one homemade pie for the pie buffet. We have heard of events where more than 100 folks come with 100 pies.
(Thanks, Danny!)
Update: The brilliant Fafblog has a fine observance of National Pie Day.
