Mister was thinking about making a pie this past weekend, especially when I informed him that Sunday was Pi Day. I even showed him a Pi pie dish that, if we were complete math geeks with far more disposable income, we would have purchased.
Back to the pie. We went shopping on Sunday, and Mister selected some apples for the pie. Then he pored through his cookbooks looking for a better dough recipe for the crust, as he wasn’t satisfied with the one he’d been using in the past. Then it got too late to bake a pie – Mister got tired and there was this work thing that I do Monday through Friday that necessitates me going to bed before sunrise. Which brings us to Monday.
Monday, Mister suggested the pie again. But raiding and internetting meant that we did not even eat dinner until 8:30 or so – a bit late for dinner, never mind trying to bake a pie.
Tuesday, I got home and saw dough in the fridge. Progress! Maybe I would have pie on Tuesday. We went downstairs for dinner, Mister made us some delicious omelets, and said he’d finish making the pie after dinner. As I was finishing up my dinner, I heard a snore. So no pie for me. *sigh*
Wednesday I came home, knowing we had made plans to meet up with some friends we hadn’t seen in way too long. I dumped my purse and keys, walked around to the kitchen, and there it was. My Pi Pie. It was sitting on the cooling rack, taunting me. It also looked like Mister found a much better crust recipe, because this one looked like puff pastry. It looked too pretty to eat, but don’t worry, that didn’t stop me. I dug in, and it was worth every single calorie.
Behold the Pi of Awesomeness:
I can attest to the fact that Mister is an excellent cook. Um….more chocolate please?
I haven’t made a pie in… wow, a long time! My favorite recipe was with apple sauce + vanilla and coconut. The problem is that we are only two so it’s hard to eat the whole thing… and we get sick of it after a couple of meals.
Dude, I want to eat me some pie of awesomeness!
@kristan, it was so delish!
@zhu, we have the same problem, especially since I’m the one who ends up eating most of it due to Mister’s surgery. If I need to get rid of something fast, I bring it to work. We’re big on sweets there.
@kaila, you will just have to come over more often to help me eat the stuff.
