Pi(e) Day

Pi(e) day 2017!  

Rosemary pecan and lemon custard pi(e)

I created two pi(e)s last year on March 14th as Bill was helping out with festivities at work. They were both a hit! 

This year I only made one pie, a Shaker lemon pie. While the 2017 pies were fairly standard, the 2018 pi(e) was a throw-back to years gone by. It consisted of a traditional pastry case and the filling consisted of shaved lemons (peel, pith, pulp, and juice - no seeds) that macerated in sugar overnight, then mixed with eggs. The filling was then poured into the pastry case and baked. Not sure that it was a hit, because I received lots of 'that was an interesting pi(e)' comments. Oh, well. Can't win 'em all! 

Pi(e) day 2018!
