Pie Day

Technically, Pie Day is March 14 so I'm a little early but... I got a free pie today!

When I worked for Maceys we started selling Cyrus O'Leary Pies. They were quite expensive but also quite good. A couple weeks ago it came to light that the people at Cyrus O'Leary wanted to sell pies at my current bakery, too. As we are the closest to the corporate offices, everyone who wants to pitch something to this company ships it to our bakery and stages things there. Sometimes it's annoying but ocassionally, it's not too bad. Like when they make enough samples for us to try it, too, or when they ship in extra pies and we get to take them home.

Obviously, today was one of the good days. I had the choice of many pies- some new since I was working at Maceys- but I went with an old favorite: Sour Cream Lemon. :) I'm not going to eat any today but just knowing that I have it makes me happy.

Oh, and in case you don't know, Pie Day is a geeky math "holiday" celebrated on 3-14. (Pi=3.14) When I was going to school in Oklahoma, we actually celebrated it by eating pie in math class!
