Rules are simple; anyone can participate, you may be supervised, but you must make your pie yourself. Everyone picks an anounomous name for their pie entry, and then the entire shift gets together to taste/score all the pies. What could be better than a night of eating pie?
We have prizes for the best presentation, best tasting, overall best pie, and best pie name. It's always interesting to see the kind of entries that will come in and how original the names will be. This year we had some really interesting pies. Jeremy brought in a pie tin filled with mini bacon wrapped pigs in a blanket. It was called Little Piggie Pie ( or something to that affect). They were super delicious! So, it was no suprise that it won best tasting.We also had a Mile High Strawberry Pie that Jeri made. It looked like it could have been photographed for one of those pie/desert cookbooks and was the pefect combination of strawberries and the syrup stuff you use in the filling. Her pie won best pie overall.
The pie I made was a chocolate candy crunch. It was a chocolate graham cracker crust, chocolate filling with crushed symphony bar(the kind with toffee and almonds), topped with whip cream,more crushed candy, and drizzled with melted german chocolate.
I ended up winning a Pie Bird Funnel for best presentation and the most misunderstood pie name. I entered it under 22/7. For those of you who are not mathletes 22/7 is a fractional representation of pie. Drew gave me the suggestion when I was trying to figure out what name to submit my pie under.
So, it was a great day, not only did I get to eat lots of diffrerent kinds of yummy pie, but I also won a nifty gadget to help me continue on my pie making experiments. Happy Pie Day to all!!!
