One of my favorite pie flavors
Mathematics was never one of my favorite subjects and it was a struggle all through school. But amazingly one thing I do remember sixty plus years after my last math class was the first five digits of Pi. 3.1415 begins the mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. I don't use this in daily life, but when I miss posting on 3.14 for Pi Day, it's completely appropriate to post on 3.15.
I was all set to post the beautiful slice of key lime pie that I so enjoyed in Myrtle Beach when I remembered that I mentioned it in my last post. Fortunately I have photographs of other pies/slices of pie available. This cherry pie beauty was given to me by my dear friend, Betsy, to celebrate my 70th birthday. It was as delicious at it looks. I'm a fan of the lattice crust and this one was especially handsome.
Cherry is my favorite fruit flavor, though I wouldn't dismiss a slice of apple pie, with vanilla ice cream, please. Though it's technically a fruit, I don't think of pumpkin pie the same as cherry or apple. I am, however, a fan of pumpkin pie, and I like it with a little whipped cream. What's your favorite fruit pie choice?
There are two citrus pies that are favorites, the aforementioned key lime and lemon meringue. As much as I like cherry and apple and pumpkin, I love lime and lemon. When I was a waitress in college, the restaurant where I worked made fabulous lemon meringue pie. If a slice was damaged in cutting -- easy to do with meringue -- it went to the staff. I ate and enjoyed a lot of lemon meringue in the three summers I worked there and have yet to find a better or equal lemon meringue pie. Lemon meringue -- yay or nay?
It's still winter in New York, but we're at the very end. I'm eager to put my down coat away and my gloves, but it's at least another week for the former. I know some of us are already in spring and some in summer weather, but almost for spring. Not many flowers yet, but I know they'll be here soon.
As ever, thanks for visiting and happy 3.1415 Day.

Cherry pie is my favorite, too, Carol. Happy Pi Day!
Apple Pie has to be my favourite my dear mum used to make delicious ones ... yum!
All the best Jan
Lemon meringue is one of my favorites too. But chocolate mousse pie with a graham cracker crust is my favorite pie.
I confess, all things math ('Pi', I'm looking at you) never landed in my grey matter.
Pie on the other hand? I can't recall ever having a lemon meringue, but just a few hours ago I bought myself an early birthday key lime pie at Publix.
PS - I'm going to curl up with my new book this evening; love the nod to "Sweet Home Alabama" ... thank you, again!
Key lime, lemon meringue, mmm! I do make a mean apple pie though! A few years ago, on a whim, my daughter and I went blueberry picking at a place close by, then went home and made the best pie ever!
I thought they would make a bigger deal about Pi day. I like pumpkin and pecan.
Happy Pie Day to you! I love cherry too but like you would never turn down apple pie with ice cream either. Basically, if it is pie, I eat it!
Belated Happy Pi day, Carol, and I haven't met a piece of pie I didnt enjoy, except for rhubarb, which is my least favorite one. The cherry pie your friend gifted you with on your birthday looked delicious and a lattice crust is always wonderful.
My favorite fruit by is Apple with vanilla ice creatm , but all time favorite is Lemon Meringue.
I can't imagine turning down any type of pie. Lemon meringue is a favorite that in recent years I've made quite well.
Happy PIE day. I like all the pie flavors you mention. My college friend and I would leave campus and walk to a restaurant and we would order their wonderful Key Lime pie.
We like the same kinds of pies! I'm a key lime and cherry pie woman too!
I like all kinds of pies!
