Slog - Comments on Keep Your Fork, There's Pie http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/01/keep_your_fork_theres_pie January 23rd is National Pie Day. Bake a pie tonight, share it with your friends tomorrow. A nice slice of good apple pie is my favorite, warm, with a scoop of ice cream. Annie Wagner prefers tangy berry pies. Jen Graves says strawberry-rhubarb is the best. She's wrong. Regardless, we should all eat pie tomorrow....

Or July 22nd if you're in Europe.

My mom used to grow rhubarb in the backyard. The strawberry-rhubarb is very strange to me, too sweet.

The ideal time to eat pie on that day, of course, is 27 seconds after 1:59...

Nothing. Strawberries if you must, but ten times better without.

Clubs that both people and companies can belong to are always something of minor note.

...Wish I could get some rhubarb pie.

FYI, Dan, since you go to Saugatuck semi-frequently, Crane's Orchard in Fenville (which is nearby) makes the best raspberry pie in the world, as well as some damn tasty individual rhubarb tarts, among other amazing baked goods.

always served hot with a slice of the finest American cheddar cheese and a dollop of perfect whipped cream

all you sugar freaks are mis-guided

then there is the REAL DEAL mince meat pie made with venison ......

and butternut squash pie that all thought was pumpkin, embellished with pecans and secret spices .... made with a many egg custard base

and to say I miss her is an understatement ..... because she also made from old family receipts a five layer chocolate devil cake with lemon filling .... and I was her favorite grandson
