3.14 - My Mom and Pi

[mezame]

I wished my Mom a Happy Pi Day.

She responded with homemade coconut creme.

I love Pie Day!

1. HEB has two pie slices for $3.14

This made me smile

2. My wife is making chocolate. She said she didn't have enough pecans for a pie.

I told her pecans aren’t the point of pecan pie.

I’m still getting chocolate. I’m good with that.

3. Unless I'm mistaken

a pecan pie without pecans is called chess pie.

[rsdsharp]

4. I think it kind of depends on who you listen to. Some say a chess pie

is a form of custard pie with a crunchy top. Others say any nut pie is a chess pie. I don’t care. I’m like Obama. Bring on the pie.

5. Yeah, I'm not particular when it comes to pie or the terminology used to describe it

Now I'm thinking about another variation of pecan pie: Derby pie, named for the Kentucky Derby. It's basically pecan pie with chocolate chips added.

6. Let's all pause to remember that pi are not square; pi are round!

[rsdsharp]

8. Not in the past tense.

Then Pi R squared.

11. Clever

ok, so now i'm not totally convinced all pies are round

Hmmmm...Moose Turd Pie...it's good though!

[rsdsharp]

13. Bear in mind that any pie near me is instantly in the past tense.

So they probably were round shortly before.

10. Furthermore...

How 'bout a Shepard's Pie? Or Mincemeat?

...never seen a square pie, so I'm with you on that account.

I asked mom about coconut creme, but we were both agreed on no more banana bread!

7. Every 2-crust pie my mom ever made had a "pi" cut into the top...

Nice memory.

9. National Pie Day was January 23rd.

Remember that so that you can get two pies from her next year.

12. My husband made his spinach & tomato quiche. That's a pie in my book.

[mezame]

14. Was it round or square?

ahhh, Quiche Lorraine, my favorite poodle.
