I am going for coconut creme, that seemed to be my Dad's favorite and I am reminded of him whenever I have that.
What kind of pie are you going to have in celebration of PI DAY, 2017 (3.14.2017)?

I never met a pie I didn't like!
Blackberry and peach pies would be at the top of the list!

Got to say chocolate cream pie. Strawberry rhubarb also when I can find it.

Coconut cream pie.
I could eat the whole pi myself 3.4666 times.

Here are a couple of facts about pi.
Archimedes estimated the value of pi by calculating the circumferences of polygons that just fit inside and outside the circle. Using polygons of up to 128 sides, Archimedes correctly found that pi must lie between 3.141 and 3.142. Ludolph van Ceulen, a Dutch mathematician found a value of pi accurate to 20 decimal places, using this same method, and eventually, spending most of life, found pi correct to 35 places. (what a wasted life) The number was engraved on his tombstone in 1610. Of course, now we can use computers to get as many digits of pi as desired (to googleplexes of places)
I used to tell my students (back before calculators) to use the phrase “May I have a large container of coffee?” (count the no. of letters in each word to get pi)
So today is pi day, 3/14, so at 1:52 ask your mate to give you a large container of coffee and drink it in 9 minutes and 6 seconds, and you will celebrate pi day.

The old man was listening to his university graduate son talking to his friends about pi.
He said. "I wasted my money on him and his education."
They are saying pie are squared. Everyone knows they are round.

I like that. I'm surprised I haven't seen that brand on a pie before.

Apple's my favorite.
Remember: Apple pie without the cheese, is like a hug without the squeeze.

Mile high lemon meringue pie was always on the menu for Easter dinner.
Funny how we associate certain foods with events in our life.
I've given up making pies but I still make a little pan of these easy Land O Lakes lemon bars at Easter!

Our new Publix sells Peach Cobbler Pie with a crumb topping. It was addictive. Notice I said "was". I finally got a grip!
