#pie

1 post1 participant0 posts today

Pre-COVID, I baked a pie almost every week for a little over a year. It was a very fun project, I learned so much about my favorite dessert, refined techniques, experienced new pies (Dried Apple Pie was probably my favorite forgotten pie). It was all documented on a site named “Year of Pie.” It was lost to SquareSpace, though.

But thanks to a post from @toddtyrtle, I discovered that static site generators had become a thing. With the help of the Way Back Machine, I was able to grab an 90% complete version of the old text. And all the old photos have been on a hard drive, because why toss pics of pie?

So, it’s rough. There are major missing pieces. There are obvious layout issues. Old posts are being added every few days, but happy enough to put it out there.

Edit: American sweet pies, not English savory pies. Though a few of those were made later in the project.

Which would you rather be hit in the face with?

Some may say I "failed to plan ahead for Pi Day” but I maintain I “decided to celebrate the Ides of March with a pie this year.” The Ides of March deserve pie, too! See the fork-tine crust? It’s stabbing-themed!

(It is an oatmeal-butterscotch pie, which is non-Caesar-related. It’s just what I’d planned for March!)

No pie for kittens 😿

The three little kittens, they lost their mittens,
And they began to cry,
"Oh, mother dear, we sadly fear,
That we have lost our mittens."

"What! Lost your mittens, you naughty kittens!
Then you shall have no pie."
"Meow, meow, meow."
"Then you shall have no pie."

March's cocktail pie - Diesel (Snake) Bites

A Snake Bite contains equal parts cider and lager. To make it a Diesel you splash in some blackcurrant cordial.

For my bites, I’ve gone for a cider-and-lager pulled pork with a blackcurrant barbecue sauce, all wrapped up in pasty pastry.

P.S. Damn right I'm proud to have knocked out March's pie in time for pi day this year 😂

"Raisin pie itself isn’t particularly foreboding. But in 19th-century Pennsylvania German homes, it meant one thing: Death was near. Once it arrived, so too would friends and neighbors, coming to “redd up” the bereaved family’s home for the funeral. This meant cooking, cleaning, and baking raisin pie. The treat was such a common sight at post-memorial meals, it also became known as funeral pie (or, in Pennsylvania German, leicht-boi)."

Atlas Obscura · The Death of Pennsylvania’s Forgotten Funeral PieBy Sam O'Brien

Being that I’m the only one in my family who likes it, and I don’t often cook, I rarely eat pumpkin pie. But my wife made me this one! And, since I’m the only one who likes it, I will get to eat the whole thing! And, since it’s a vegetable, I am eating a piece before 9:30am. #Dessert #Pie #Pumpkin
