Thanksgiving 2020: Pear, Fig and Walnut Pie. Pi Man Approved.

Some of you may recall Pi Man's despair after Thanksgiving 2019 (see blog post from November 29, 2019: The Pie Side of Hell). Missing pies, Forgotten pies.  2019 was the Year of Pie Regret. I'm happy to report Thanksgiving 2020 was better.

A whole lot better.

This year Little Pi Man (aka my baking son) delivered a Pear/Fig/Walnut Pie. When it comes to pies, I show no favoritism. The pie gods do not allow it. But this year, the off-spring delivered a strong contender for Pi Man's Pie of the Year Award.  Amazing texture combination with the d'anjou pears, figs and walnuts. Stellar crust.  Ample proportions. 

Watch out for Pi Man's Pie of the Year nominees in early December, by the way, with the winner being announced on New Year's Eve (what else do I got to do?) 

Here are some of the pie-making pictures. I really only like eating pie 

and could give a fig's ass about the process (get it...because it was a fig pie.) But can't say Pi Man doesn't read his email.
