Pie Dementia. I don't remember eating this pie but I have a picture of it on my phone.

Dissociative identity disorder? Or just too much pie?

I wish I remembered. It looks like a good apple pie.

2020 Pi Man of the Year Pie Nominees

"Here ye, hear ye. By proclamation of Pi Man, we will be announcing this week the 2020 nominees for Pie of the Year. Signed, the editorial staff of Pie, Coffee and Conversation. " The pies will be judged on: (1) Crust Dynamic, including texture, stability, and taste. (2) Dynamic of the Interior, including freshness, texture and taste. (3) Appearance, both before and after slicing. (4) Imagination, including ingredient creativity, presentation, and the sheer joy the pie creates. All are worthy. Only one can win. There is no second place.”

2020 Pie of Year Nominee #1: The Peach Praline.

Before cutting, the praline makes a weird pattern on the crust, like coffee beans or bird droppings (okay, maybe that is a bit rough). Pi Man Rating: 7 Imagination. Th...

Pie for Breakfast

For those misfortunates who listen to me yap about pie, you know my ‘pie for breakfast” view. My silent prayer for Breakfast Freedom. The Cake Conspiracy has completely absorbed American Breakfast. Disguising cake surrogates like pancakes, waffles, and French toast as the only choice for a breakfast blowout at your local Golden Spoon, we earnest Americans aren’t even aware that we could be ordering a pumpkin pie with those scrambled eggs. Look, I know what you are saying. Pi Man, we are as upset as you are. We’ve been tricked by The Cake Conspiracy (the Conspiracy, we assume, being a loose web of pie bakery conglomerates, birthday candle manufacturers and the laboratory which created frosting in a can). We’ve been fooled into believing it is a venial sin to have eggs, bacon, and banana cream pie on our breakfast table. Sure, there are some brave souls that practice Breakfast Freedom at home and breakout the Fruits of the Forest Pie with the corn flakes. But a...
