The Real National Pie Day

Coming Jan. 23!

Blueberry Pie

Yeah, I know.  Lots of folks think that pie day is “Pi Day,” March 14th (3.14).  It’s not.  National Pie Day is actually January 23rd (as per the National Pie Council).

It’s good that kids are learning all about pi, the constant ratio of the circumference of any circle to its diameter.  But come on.  Unless we’re trying to figure out the area of an actual pie, it begs the question of why celebrate “pi day”?  OK, it’s another excuse for pie.

And, now that we’ve settled that the real pie “pie day” is coming up on the 23rd, how will you celebrate National Pie Day?  Make a pie for your family with frozen cherries from last summer?  Buy an apple pie at the bakery?  Take a lemon meringue one to someone you love and enjoy it together?  Deliver a chocolate pie to someone who’s an under-appreciated person who’s making your community better or someone under the weather?  Maybe make a pecan one just for you because you love pie and you love yourself?

Warm yourself and someone else with a circle of love: a pie!
