We chose to celebrate the circle (which the ancients thought was the perfect shape) with chocolate (the perfect food) in the form of a chocolate cream pie. First, we mixed a simple graham cracker crust and my trusty sidekick, ChefPatrick, pressed it into the plate.
Then we took a break for strawberry milk with whipped cream. ChefPatrick had an accident last night while I was cooking dinner (I didn't see what happened) and has a big cut inside his lip/cheek and a little but deep cut outside, so Mama is sort of a softie today.
After WordWorld, lunch, and putting the Princess down for a nap, we mixed up chocolate cream. In keeping with my plan to try more "heirloom" type recipes (more on that soon), I used a recipe from my Mennonite Community Cookbook. Once the cream cools, we will top it with homemade whipped cream and our homage to all things pi/pie will be complete!
Happy Pi Day everyone!
Hey, Hey -- we're not all geeks are we? Happy Pie Day -- it looks like a wonderful Pi! {wink}{wink}
ReplyDeleteAs for that old quilt you have pieces of -- maybe if you sneak in a little bit every day or so, it will soon be done? The colors might be dated, but sooner or later they'll come back in style. At least I hope that's the case LOL!
Yummy pi! You continue to be my cooking hero. :-)
