Happy Pi Day

3/14/2015

My grandmother baked great pies. Mostly I remember her cherry pies – fruit with just the right tartness surrounded by a sweet filling within a flaky crust. Back then I was more interested in the bowl-licking than the crust-making, so Pillsbury helps me out a bit with that now. Allan ordered up a blueberry pie to celebrate Pi Day, and since I can’t invite you over for a taste, I thought I’d describe it in a haiku.

                                            Blueberry Pie
                                     plump, sweet blueberries
                                    fill a crust of golden brown
                                         wait to be enjoyed

How lovely of you to share. The pi/pie day celebrations amuse me. I can not think of a single occasion where I used pi but pie now that is a different story. Enjoy.

YUM!!! My berry pie turned out WAY too runny tonight - but still tasted great - love your haiku to go with it!

Your blueberry pi(e) looks delicious, and your haiku is making my mouth water for some "plump, sweet blueberries." Thanks for sharing!
