Yeah, two posts about food in a row. Anyway, today, January 23rd is National Pie Day. I learned this by watching News 4 Great Day (formerly Great Day Saint Louis) as they discussed the holiday with a local business known as Damn Fine Pies. I find it odd as March 14th AKA the day for PI, is right there. After all, many folks enjoy pie in honor of PI on that notable day. As someone who enjoys pie, I don't mind there being multiple holidays that give me an excuse to eat some (every Thanksgiving I always obliterate some pumpkin pie). I just find it quite interesting and random that today is National Pie Day. I understand there are historical reasons--a random teacher declared his birthday Pie Day and afterward the National Pie Council ran with it (that is not a joke)--but I may forget the 23rd as being a day for pie, to be honest. March 14th I'll always remember is the day for PI and pie, however.
