January 23 has been designated national pie day by the American Pie Council (really).


Suggestions on how to celebrate:


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.

Pie... Day..? And I missed it? Ahh nuts.

Yeah, I missed it too! :bang:

I'll probably spend the entire next 364 days making up for it.

When's National Beer Day? Oh wait St. Patty's is right around the corner. Still would like to celebrate pie.
