Pi Day pie #8: Chocolate-almond meringue finale.
Category: Ask a ScienceBlogger
Of all the Pi Day pies I have offered to you here, I'm pretty sure this one is my favorite. It has a fabulous mix of flavors (sparingly sweet chocolate, almonds, a hint of cinnamon) and textures (creamy custard in...

Pi Day pie #7: Vegetarian shepherd's pie.
Category: Ask a ScienceBlogger
Saturday is Pi Day, and I figure we need at least one dinner pie to precede the parade of dessert pies currently on hand. (It's the whole parental responsibility thing. I do not judge adults who eat dessert pie for...

Pi Day pie #6: Lemon-berry pie.
Category: Ask a ScienceBlogger
Given that we have an enthusiastic lemon tree, a lemon pie for Pi Day was inevitable. The kind of berries you use will change the character of the finished pie. My recommendation is to go with berries that are fresh...

Pi Day pie #5: Foolish rhubarb pie.
Category: Ask a ScienceBlogger
Rhubarb seems to be one of those foods that people either love or hate. I love it, but I didn't feel like using it for strawberry-rhubarb pie, the pie that introduced me to rhubarb. Instead, I decided to make...

Pi Day pie #4: Tea-time cheesecake pie.

Pi Day pie #2: 'I want to taste springtime!' violet custard pie.

We're still a week away from Pi Day, but the break in the rain here has made me believe that spring may be on its way. What better way to celebrate spring (especially in the aftermath of a wintertime fruit...

Pi Day pie #1: End-of-winter fruit pie.
Category: Ask a ScienceBlogger
It's not Pi Day yet, but there's no reason to believe my first pie will be the one that hits the target. So, here's my opener in anticipation of March 14th, a dried cherry/dried apricot/apple pie in a nut crust....
