It’s my personal holiday again today – Pi Day. Everyone at work knows that I’m off today to bake pies – even a couple of my long-term clients know. I am allowed to use my “floating holiday” for Pi Day – my boss had it approved by management about 6 years ago. I even have personalized napkins this year, given to me by a friend after last year’s celebration.
This year’s menu: Dutch Apple, Banofee, Root Beer Float Whoopies, Raspberry Tangerine, Pecan, Bob Andy, Blueberry, Almond Joy, Caramel Pear with Crème Fraiche, Key Lime Meringue and the addictive Crack Pie.
Hope to see those of you in the Twin Cities tonight!
What day would you like to be your floating holiday?

I would like to take Boxing Day, December 26 as my floating holiday. It just seems so civilized.

Rise and Have Some Pi, Baboons,
There would need to be some gardening and produce canning holidays added to keep me happy. Right now, an ice removal holiday might be nice if it was guaranteed to removed it. We had a small ice dam in the back of the house that leaked into the basement ceiling Monday which I still do not understand.
Sherilee—what time?

Sounds to me like you need to take the calendar away from whoever is scheduling your activities if s/he is perpetually overbooking you.

I’m awed, vs, by your ambition and prodigious output. You have pies there that I have never heard of, let alone tasted. I’m sure you don’t need any more recipes, but knowing how it is with recipes, you can never get too many. Here’s a link that includes a savory one (hint, hint):

Every day should be a floating holiday — especially my birthday.
I wish I could be there to try your pies, Sherrilee. I remember attending once several years ago, and thoroughly enjoyed the sugar rush.

Yes, today is Pi Day henceforth to be known as DJT Day as each is an irrational number.

Hell, NO! I veto that. We can’t possibly replace Pi Day with a day commemorating DJT, no matter the rationale.

VS, are all the pies pictured your own? If so, do you have a Pi-shaped cookie cutter?

The header photo and the one of the table are mine. The Pi photo with the pi cutter is, alas, one that found on the internet years ago.

I have had several tarps up since Tuesday. I have two dehumidifiers, a submersible pump, and a wet vac. It’s not the first time the basement has been wet. I’m running the pump for about five minutes or so every hour.
