January 23rd is National Pie Day. (Not to be confused to Pi Day.) You should eat some pie!
You could go to:
High 5 Pie on Capitol Hill, the Seattle Pie Company in Magnolia, Shoofly Pie in West Seattle, or the new Pie in Fremont!
You can also make your own pie and take it to the Pie Buffet in Ballard at the Salmon Bay Eagles Club! From 6-9 pm, everyone is invited to bring a pie (or, if you aren’t the baking type you could bring $10) to the pie buffet to eat and celebrate the delicious dessert. There will also be ala mode girls (with ice cream and whipped cream!) moving throughout the crowd. YUM!
Says the Ballard Tribune:
Everyone is encouraged to bring a pie: sweet, savory or experimental, although the experimental pies are not always made to be eaten. Last year the performer known as Paula the Swedish Housewife baked a Humble Pie, with nickels and dimes in the crust. Schile wanted to make a pie that would allow you to blow bubbles after eating. She created the Bubblegum Chiffon Pie — and it worked.
Pie!
Sounds delicious! Although, not quite as delicious as National Cake Day would be.
Pie >>>> cake!!
I have a scratch pecan pie to finish someone gave me. It’s a great pecan pie, but I don’t particularly like pecan pie. Oy, such problems I have… (Waiter! There’s too much lobster in this bisque!)
You need to cut the sweetness with some bourbon whipped cream, gus. Don’t even think about the 700 calories per slice…
Canuck, you are wise – I almost tossed it out, but will try the cream suggestion…..
Yeah, but I’m a big ol pecan pie fan, so take what I say with a grain of salt (or a dram of likuh, as the case may be…)
Will there be any hair pie?
As in, Urban Dictionary’s hair pie? I would have figured you for Bananas Foster, to be honest, svensken.
Why today? Is it Granny Smith’s birthday or something?
Why not Pi day, which would be much easier to remember?
PS-research indicates that it is not Granny Smith’s birthday
Does Anita go into hiding on National Pie Day? Better yet, shouldn’t National Pie Day occur on the anniversary of her being pied?
Well Canuck, I do prefer myself a nice boy hairpie but any with a nice flavor would do.
Easy as pie… easy as 1/23…
I went to Shoofly and bought an apple pie.
I should have made berry pies, but chicken stew with dumplings is an undertaking.
See, svensken, this right here is why I read Slog…here I am, just blindly living my life, assuming all “hair pies” were female, and I was obviously sorely mistaken. First, I find out that “pole smokers” are not necessarily just good pole dancers, and now I discover the bilateral definition of hair pie. Thank you, dear. *mwah*
Pie that isn’t made to be eaten? What’s the point?
Sure, I’ll make my own pie… but if those tossers in Ballard try to their hands on mine, they’ll have to pry it from my cold dead hands.
