Perform Random Acts of Pieness

and Celebrate National Pie Day on January 23



Share pie. Whether you make or buy pie, share it. By its very nature, pie is meant to be eaten with others.

Pay it forward. Hand out pie slices to strangers and encourage them to do the same for others. It could spread the peace on earth and goodwill to mankind that we all hope for.

Be a good Samaritan. Buy an extra pie at your local grocery store and give it to the person behind you in line. You may just change their life!

Reach out to new neighbors you haven’t met and bring them some pecan pie – it says your thoughtful. Stay awhile to get to know each other over pie and fill them in on the neighborhood.

Indulge your co-workers. Bring some pie to work – you’ll create a lot of good rapport and maybe even get a raise.

Surprise your significant other at work and bring him or her a pie to share with their coworkers.

Say thank you. Know a special someone who deserves some thanks? Maybe it’s a friend who did you a favor, your child’s teacher or your postal worker. What better way to say thanks than with a warm hug wrapped in a delicious crust?

Got a crush? Invite the “apple pie of your eye” for some pie and get to know each other better. But make it chocolate – most Americans believe it’s the most romantic pie. Before long, you may be calling each other “sweetie pie.”

Delight your family. Share the love and share your favorite memories together over a warm, fresh pie. Have older family members talk about the history behind the family favorites. Start a new tradition and publish pie memories and recipes, then send them to family members.

Spend time with your kids and make a pie together. Let them pick their favorite pie and show them how it’s done. They’ll be proud of their creation and have fond memories of you as the best parent ever for years to come!

Get caught up with friends and invite them over for some afternoon pumpkin pie. You can dish on all their latest news.

Throw a pie potluck get-together. Have everyone bring their favorite pie and exchange recipes. We’ve heard of events where more than 100 folks come with 100 pies. Have a contest to see who can come up with the most pie songs. The winning prize? A pie!

Hold a charity pie-throwing or pie-eating contest or a pie auction. You can donate the proceeds to your local community food bank.

Hold a pie-making contest. Invite the best pie makers in town to compete for prizes in various categories. Ask cooking teachers, pastry chefs and pie lovers to be judges. Be sure the kids are involved – you can include pie poetry and pie art contests for them.

Register for the 2008 American Pie Council (APC)/Crisco National Pie Championships

Eat pie. Whether you make it yourself, buy it at a supermarket or bakery or order it at a restaurant, perform a random act of pieness on yourself and enjoy some pie on National Pie Day – it’s great with lunch, dinner or as a late-night snack.

Like this place needs more pie!

Hey this is a national thing -- its bigger than the both of us

/me right clicks on everything in sight and selects random pie wedges.

HA! It's not an INTERNATIONAL thing ... so I will keep the pie calories for cheese thank you.


MMMMMMMMMMMM lovely lovely cheese!!!

Is there an international Cheesecake Day? Now, I could really get into that!

Yes -- that would be July 30th

You read my mind!

i read this thread, it's the 23rd here now and i thought, "you know what, i'm gonna make it international and get some pie for morning tea".... the pie shop near work is still shut from the x-mas holidays, i am very very disapointed in them. *crosses arms and pouts*

Thanks, CC

I thought Pie Day was March 14.

Or July 22 in Europe.

The entire day is derailed.

pecan pie. mmmmmm

I desperately miss Ann. Does anyone know where she is? Is she ok? She hasn't posted in ages.

Chock -O- Late cream pie!
Banana cream pie!
Coconut cream pie!

Which nation is it a holiday in? I will be sure to imigrate...

Lies! I've been around, just not as verbose as usual. Check my posts! And have some pie!



(Thank you for missing me, though. )

I want Yosef in this thread with his lovely pie trolley. yum
Coffee Cream pie.
Keylime pie.
Banoffee pie
I think i may make another apple pie soon. apparantly i can take it into work.

Damn, only in America. Any chance i can go and live there for one day?

ANN!!! We've all missed you, not just me. Well, I don't know about these other guys, but I have. Stop being a stranger.

In honor of CCTV reminding of this, I think I will go out and make a Shoofly Pie! (get it?)

Where and when people??

I want names and dates.....

(digging deep in the bottom of my purse....know I have a fork in here somewhere!)

haha. Brill Elora! lol

Claire! You know what Shoofly pie is? Wow! It's so regionally american! I'm impressed!

sorta. I heard of it before so i knew it was a kind of pie. and i get the joke lol. plus wikipedia and google are da bomb lol

Can anyone point to a thread that would be the earliest reference to pie as a joke in these forums?
I'd like to think some poor noob had a question about the pie menu and the next post asked for pie to eat. Everyone had a good laugh and it's been going on since 2003.

Darn you I am hungry and pie-less with no means to celebrate "Pie" day.
Oh well that is probably a good thing for my blood sugar if I celebrated it I be peeing non-stop.
